IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
USING THIS HUMIDIFIER
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk
of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, 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 (30cm)
from the wall. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF
CHILDREN AND PETS. This product produces
hot steam and should be placed in an area not
accessible to children or pets, with the power
cord out of reach.
2. 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 overturned.
3. DO NOT leave the humidifier unattended in
a closed room, doing so may cause serious
injury or property damage. If room becomes
saturated, open the door and turn the
humidifier off or down.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. CAUTION: To avoid fire or electric shock
hazard, plug the humidifier directly into a
120V AC electrical outlet. To avoid risk of fire,
electric shock, or personal injury, NEVER use
an extension cord or power strip.
7. The humidifier should ALWAYS be unplugged
and emptied when not in operation or while
being cleaned. Turn off and unplug humidifier
before moving. DO NOT move or tilt humidifier
while it is in operation. Plug and unplug unit
with dry hands. NEVER pull by cord.
8. DO NOT operate the humidifier without water.
Turn off and unplug unit when tank is empty
and the reset light is on.
9. Humidifier requires regular cleaning. Refer to
and follow cleaning instructions.
10. DO NOT operate outdoors; this humidifier is
intended for indoor residential use only.
11. DO NOT place in direct sunlight, high
temperature areas or near computers or
sensitive electronic equipment.
12. DO NOT cover or insert objects into any
openings on the unit. DO NOT block intake or
output vents.
13. DO NOT touch the Nebulizer or Heating
Element while the unit is plugged in, as burns
could result.
14. DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust any
electrical or mechanical functions on this
humidifier. Doing so will void your warranty.
15. DO NOT add any essential oils or medications
(e.g. Vicks VapoSteam®) into the Water
Reservoir or Water Tank. Doing so could
damage the humidifier and void the warranty.
16. DO NOT touch the steam vapor. Steam can
cause burns.
