THIS HUMIDIFIER
Warning 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 appliance should always be placed on a
firm, flat, waterproof surface at least 4 feet
(1.2 m) away from bedside and 12 inches
(30 cm) from the wall and out of reach of
patients, children and pets. Be sure the
appliance 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 appliance should not be left unattended
in a closed room since air could become
saturated and leave condensation on walls
and furniture. Leave room door partly open.
3. Before using the appliance, extend the
cord and inspect for any signs of damage.
DO NOT use the unit if the cord has been
damaged.
4. The appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other) as a safety feature.
This plug will fit into a polarized wall 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.
To avoid fire or shock hazard, plug the appliance
directly into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
6. The humidifier should always be unplugged
and emptied when not in operation or while
being serviced or cleaned. Never tilt or
attempt to move the humidifier while it is
operating or filled with water. UNPLUG the
humidifier before moving. Plug and unplug
unit with dry hands. Never pull by cord.
7. DO NOT operate the appliance without water.
Turn off and unplug unit when tank is empty.
8. Caution: To avoid the risk of fire, shock or
personal injury, DO NOT use an extension
cord.

intended for indoor use.
11. DO NOT cover or insert objects into any
opening on the unit.

Outlet, Steam Area, or Water Tank. Add only
