IMPORTANT: We recommend cleaning your humidifier every two weeks.
Follow instructions.
Humidifiers provide comfort by adding moisture to dry, heated indoor air.
To get the most benefit from the humidifier and avoid product misuse, fol-
low all instructions carefully, specifically the operation, care and mainte-
nance guidelines. Please note this is an electrical appliance and requires
careful attention when in use.
In addition, if you do not follow the recommemded care and maintenance
guidelines, microorganisms may be able to grow in the water within the
humidifier's reservoir.
Caution: Disconnect power before cleaning or servicing unit.
WARNING: It is very important that cleaning solutions, such as bleach,
bacteria treatment, or descaler which could be used to clean the cabinet are
not sprayed or applied to the chassis/power pak assembly. Additionally, do
not immerse the power pak in water or any other solution. These solutions
can cause a serious electrical malfunction of the humidifier.
