Important Safety Instructions

READ AND SAVE THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING THIS HUMIDIFIER
WHEN USING ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES, BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS
BE FOLLOWED TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND INJURY
TO PEOPLE, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
1.
The humidifier should always be placed
on a firm, flat, waterproof surface at least
four feet (1.2m) away from bedside, 12
inches (30 cm) from the wall and out of
reach of patients, children and pets. Be
sure the humidifier is in a stable position
and the power cord is away from heated
surfaces and out of the way to prevent the
humidifier from being tipped over.
2.
The humidifier should not be left
unattended in a closed room since air
could become saturated and leave
condensation in front of unit, on walls
and furniture. Leave room door partly
open. Do not aim Mist Outlet directly at
children, walls or furniture.
3.
Before using the humidifier, extend the
cord and inspect for any signs of damage.
Do not use the unit if the cord has been
damaged. Do not operate with power cord
coiled or with twist tie in place.
4.
The humidifier has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other) as a safety
feature. This plug will fit into a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not
fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this
safety feature.
5.
CAUTION: To avoid fire or shock
hazard, plug the humidifier directly into
a 120V AC electrical outlet. To avoid risk
of fire, shock or personal injury, do not
use an extension cord or power strip.

The humidifier should always be unplugged
and emptied when not in operation or
while being cleaned. Shut off and unplug

7.
Do not operate the humidifier without
water. Turn off and unplug unit when tank
is empty.

Do not cover or insert objects into any
openings on the unit.
11.
Do not block intake or output vents.

a comfortable humidity level in your home. The ideal humidity level
is between 40-60%.
Protec ® Demineralization Cartridge (included in some models)
(TWT500)
This humidifier works with a Demineralization Cartridge that helps remove
minerals from the water. This helps prevent the build up of minerals
("white dust") that can occur in hard water areas. If you live in a hard water
area, we recommend the use of this demineralization cartridge if not using
distilled water. For best results, replace your Demineralization Cartridge every
20-30 fillings, or when you begin to notice white dust forming. The effective
time will vary depending on the mineral content of the water used.
