4 SAFETY INFORMATION IMPORTANT: Please read, understand, and comply with all of the instructions provided in this manual before using the device. Failure to comply with the instructions given in this manual and/or using the device in ways other than the ones mentioned in this manual may result in serious injury and/or damage to the product. 4 General Safety Only use this humidifier as described in this manual. Ensure that the plug fits properly into a polarized power socket. When not in use, turn the machine off and disconnect from a power source by removing the plug from the outlet. DO NOT attempt to open the base or attempt to remove the water level sensor for selfservicing. Doing so will void your warranty and may increase the risk of damage to the product, electric shock, or injury. DO NOT handle the power cord or plug with hands that are wet. Keep the plug and power cord away from liquids. DO NOT use this product in wet environments. DO NOT allow children to play with or near the device. Keep the machine out of reach from children. DO NOT immerse the humidifier base, humidity sensor, power cord, or plug while cleaning the unit Use & Care Always make sure to place the humidifier on a flat, elevated surface before operation. [Figure 2.1 on page 12] When moving the humidifier, remove the water tank from the base and pour out any excess water remaining in the inner chamber. Do not attempt to move the humidifier while the water tank is attached to the base. DO NOT use the handle on the water tank to move the humidifier while the tank is attached to the base. DO NOT place the humidifier near sources of heat, such as stove tops, ovens, radiators or computers. It is recommended to keep the humidifier at least 5 feet away from these heat sources. DO NOT place the humidifier near any large pieces of furniture or in any high-traffic area where it can be easily knocked over. DO NOT use your hand or any other object to cover the nozzle while the unit is on. Doing so may damage the product or cause injury. Fill the water tank with at least 2 cups of water before operating the humidifier.

5 DO NOT fill the water tank through the nozzle or mist tube. Doing so may damage the humidifier. DO NOT add essential oils or medicated vapor liquids directly into the water tank or through the mist tube. DO NOT add supplemental water treatment liquids or filters into the water tank. Always remember to turn the safety lock to the lock position when placing the water tank back onto the base. Position the humidifier so that there is at least a 10 inch clearance away from walls. DO NOT direct the nozzle toward walls. DO NOT allow mist or water to enter the humidity sensor. Moisture buildup inside the sensor will result in incorrect relative humidity readings. If the relative humidity in your room exceeds 68% while operating the humidifier, it is recommended to use the lowest mist setting or to turn off the device. Make sure your room is well-ventilated. This will better help humidify your room. Unplug the unit when not in use, or while cleaning it out. DO NOT clean the unit while it is connected to a power source or while it is on. DO NOT clean the device right after turning it off, especially after it has been diffusing warm mist. Allow the humidifier to completely cool down before cleaning. DO NOT use cleaning detergents to clean the humidifier. Only follow the instructions provided in this manual for cleaning and disinfecting (page 25). DO NOT disassemble the base to repair the humidifier in any way. Doing so may damage the device and will void your warranty. DO NOT use the humidifier if it is damaged or if it is not functioning properly due to manufacturer flaws. Discontinue use and contact Customer Support immediately (page 34). Do not discard the humidifier. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 5
