BEFORE EACH USE  
CHECK HUMIDIFIER PLACEMENT  
Place the Humidifier on an elevated, non-metallic, lint-free, waterproof, level surface at  
least 2 feet above the floor.  
DO NOT place the humidifier on carpet or a towel. The fan vent is located on the  
bottom of the humidifier base. The fan vent MUST NOT be obstructed.  
DO NOT place the humidifier on a wood surface or near furniture that can be  
damaged by too much moisture.  
CHECK WATER LEVEL SENSOR  
Make sure that the Water Level Sensor is secured properly and not obstructed.

3. Screw Water Tank Cap back onto Water Tank. Turn  
the Water Tank over and place on Water Basin,  
making sure it fits perfectly.  
4. Plug the power cord into a wall socket and turn on  
the unit by using the Control Knob. The power light  
will turn BLUE.  
5. Use the Control Knob to adjust the intensity of the mist  
output.  
6. When the humidifier runs out of water, the BLUE power  
light will turn off, and the mist ouput will stop. This  
safety feature uses a water level sensor to stop the  
heating element once the water level sinks below the  
required level in the water basin. A small ORANGE light  
will turn on (light will appear near the “2” on Control  
Knob) to indicate that the humidifier has automatically turned off. Turn the  
humidifier off and unplug before removing and refilling the Water Tank.  
IMPORTANT: OVERHEAT RED LIGHT  
When the humidifier runs out of water, the BLUE light will turn off and mist will stop. If  
the unit has overheated, a small RED light will turn on (light will appear near the “2” on  
Control Knob). The RED light indicates that the unit has overheated. Turn humidifier off,  
unplug the unit, allow basin and water to cool then empty water in basin. Turn  
humidifier basin over and press the Reset Button, with a pen or pencil tip, on the bottom  
of the Water Basin. This will reset the humidifier.  
USING THE MIST CHAMBER AND MEDICINE CUP  
MIST CHAMBER  
1. To remove Mist Chamber, slide Mist Chamber Latch to left. Carefully lift Mist  
Chamber off of Water Basin.  
2. To attach the Mist Chamber, slide Mist Chamber Latch to left and place the Mist  
Chamber onto Water Basin. Release the latch to secure the Mist Chamber to  
Water Basin.  
MEDICINE CUP  
The Medicine Cup allows the addition of medications recommended for use with warm  
mist humidifiers only.  
1. Remove the Medicine Cup from the top of the Mist  
Channel for easier filling.  
2. BE CAREFUL not to overfill the Medicine Cup.  
Overfilling may cause medicine to spill into Mist  
Channel. Medicine in the Mist Channel may affect  
the operation of the humidifier.  
3. Place Medicine Cup on top of the Mist Channel.  
4. DO NOT add any medication or other additives  
directly to the water.

A NOTE ABOUT HUMIDITY  
It is best to keep the humidity level at about 40%-50% of relative humidity.  
In cold weather, windows and even some walls may fog or develop frost from  
excessive indoor humidity. If this occurs, reduce the mist output setting to avoid  
damage from condensed water dripping onto windowsills.  
Too much humidity in the room may allow moisture to accumulate on surfaces where  
bacteria and fungi can grow. Moisture that gathers may also damage furniture and  
walls, especially wallpaper.  
To reduce excessive humidity, especially in small rooms, leave the room door open  
and adjust the mist intensity control setting.  
MAINTENANCE  
IMPORTANT: Failure to keep this humidifier clean from mineral deposits normally  
contained in any water supply will affect the efficiency of the operation. Customer  
failure to follow these instructions may void warranty  
DO NOT leave water in Water Tank or Water Basin when unit is not in use as it may  
result in the buildup of mineral deposits and bacteria that can inhibit the output  
efficiency of the humidifier. If water remains in the Water Tank for more than a day or  
two, bacterial growth is possible.  
DAILY MAINTENANCE  
1. Always turn off and unplug from outlet before cleaning.  
2. Empty water from the water tank and water basin daily.

white vinegar. Shake vigorously and let sit for 20-30 minutes. Shake vigorously  
again and empty the water. Rinse water tank.  
4. Make similar white vinegar/water solution. Pour into water basin. Let sit for 20-  
30 minutes, and then empty. Rinse water tank. Wipe dry with a clean, soft  
cloth.  
5. Wipe the exterior surface water tank and water basin with a soft, dry cloth.  
NEVER IMMERSE WATER BASIN IN WATER.
