When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions  
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric  
shock, and injury to persons, including the following:  
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.  
2. To avoid fire or shock hazard, plug the appliance  
directly into a 120V AC electrical outlet.  
3. Keep the cord out of heavy traffic areas. To avoid fire  
hazard, NEVER put the cord under rugs or near heat  
registers.  
4. DO NOT place humidifier near heat sources such as  
stoves, radiators, and heaters. DO locate your  
humidifier on an inside wall near an electrical outlet.  
The humidifier should be at least 4” away from the wall  
for best results.  
5. NEVER place humidifier in an area where it is accessible  
to children. NEVER use humidifier in a closed room,  
particularly where a child may be sleeping, resting, or  
playing (a closed room may result in excessive humidity).  
6. WARNING: Do not attempt to refill humidifier without first  
unplugging the unit from its electrical outlet. Failure to  
heed this warning may cause personal injury. Be sure to  
unplug the unit by pulling on the plug and not the cord.  
7. Never place anything over moisture outlet when the  
unit is running.  
8. NEVER drop or insert any object into any openings.

or plug, after the appliance malfunctions, or if it has  
been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return  
appliance to manufacturer for examination, electrical or  
mechanical adjustment, or repair.

NOTE: Allow up to 30 minutes for the filter to fully absorb  
water and for the unit to produce moisture.  
The length of cord used on this appliance was selected to  
reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over  
a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved  
extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the  
extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of  
the humidifier. Care must be taken to arrange the  
extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop  
or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or  
accidentally tripped over.  
NOTE: The Digital Humidifier has memory. This means  
that when you turn the unit back on, it will be at the last  
setting the humidifier was set at.  
If you do not plan to use the humidifier for two or more  
days, make sure any residual water is drained from the  
water tank, base and wick filter to prevent algae or  
bacteria growth.
