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, electrical 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
(1.2 m) away from bedside, twelve inches
(30 cm) from the wall, and out of reach of
patients, children and pets.
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 tipped over.
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.
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.
6. Shut off and unplug humidifier before moving.
The humidifier should always be unplugged
and emptied when not in operation or while
being cleaned. Do not move or tilt humidifier
while it is in operation. Plug and unplug
humidifier with dry hands. Never pull by cord.

How Evaporative Humidification Works:
A Wicking Filter inside the humidifier absorbs water from the Reservoir. A fan pulls dry air from
the room into the humidifier where it passes through the saturated Wicking Filter. The Filter
captures minerals and other impurities from the water, before the moisture is evaporated back
into the dry room with the help of the fan. The amount of moisture output depends on many
factors, including the current room humidity and temperature. As the humidity level in the
room increases, the moisture output decreases, which prevents over humidification.
