Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
- Do not operate the humidifier outdoors.
- Place the humidifier on a level, firm, heat-resistant, non-metallic and waterproof surface. Make sure it is in a stable position, so that it cannot fall over or fall down. Water can damage furniture and floors. Helen of Troy will not accept any responsibility for property damage caused by water spillage.
- Unravel the power cord before use. Failure to do so could cause overheating and possible fire hazard.
- Do not use an extension cord. Doing so could cause overheating, fire hazard or electric shock.
- Only connect the humidifier to a single-phase AC supply to the voltage shown on the rating plate.
• Always disconnect power cord at wall plug and allow the humidifier to cool down for at least 30 minutes, before removing the unit, filling, touching, moving, cleaning or when not in use. Some parts can get
hot. Do not pull on the power cord when disconnecting it.
- Do not add any substances into the water tank or heating chamber (e.g. inhalant, aromatic substances etc.). This can cause health hazards to people and can cause overheating, fire hazard, potentially void warranty.
- Do not direct the steam outlet directly at people, walls or any objects.
- Do not touch the steam. Steam can cause burns.
- Do not remove the water tank or the cooling chamber during operation or within 30 minutes after the humidifier is turned off and unplugged.

HOW IT WORKS:

CLEANING YOUR HUMIDIFIER
BEFORE CLEANING:
- Turn off and unplug humidifier. NEVER clean the humidifier when it is running. If the humidifier has recently been in use, wait at least 20-30 minutes for unit to cool before beginning cleaning process (See fig. 9 - page 2).
- Remove any accessories and empty Inhalant Cup. Then remove and empty Water Tank and set aside (See fig. 10 - page 2).
- Pull blue Locking Latch toward front of unit (a) and lift Mist Chimney up (b) to remove. Remove Water Tray from Base by pulling up from the Tab (c) and the opening in front of the Latch, then empty Water Tray (See fig. 11 - page 2).
- Replace Water Tray and Mist Chimney. These must be in place for cleaning. See Reassembling section (See fig. 12 - page 2).
SCALE REMOVAL:
- Remove Water Tank and slowly pour 0.5 liters of undiluted, distilled white vinegar into the Reservoir on the Water Tray. DO NOT pour vinegar over the blue Locking Latch. Only pour into the deep Reservoir. Note: Pour slowly to give enough time for vinegar to flow from the Reservoir into the Heating Chamber. The vinegar will slowly begin to fill the Heating Chamber, located under the Mist Chimney. Let soak for 20 minutes to loosen scale on the Heating Element (See fig. 13 - page 2).
Water Tank scale removal steps:
Pour additional vinegar into the Water Tank, replace Cover and swish
to coat inside of Tank. Use a cloth dampened with vinegar to wipe away any scale on the inside of the Tank and Cap.
- Remove the Mist Chimney by gently sliding blue Locking Latch towards the front of the unit (a) and lifting Chimney upwards (b) (See fig. 14 - page 2).
- Remove Heating Element Cover by lifting from the large round opening and pulling away from the Chimney (See fig. 15 - page 2).
- Wet the bristles of a soft brush with vinegar from the Water Tray and gently scrub the surface of the Heating Element, Heating Element Cover, Reservoir, and Heating Chamber to remove mineral deposits (See fig. 16 - page 2).
DO NOT USE HARD BRUSHES, STEEL WOOL, OR OTHER HARD ABRASIVES ON THE HEATING ELEMENT. DOING SO WILL DAMAGE THE HEATING ELEMENT.
DO NOT POUR VINEGAR DIRECTLY ONTO THE HEATING ELEMENT.
NOTE: If scale is still visible on the Heating Element, moisten a paper towel with vinegar, and wrap it around the Heating Element. Let it sit for 30 minutes or until scale loosens.
IMPORTANT: Remove paper towel from the Heating Element before proceeding to the next step.
Remove Water Tray by gently lifting from the Tab and the opening in front of the Latch, and empty vinegar in sink. Rinse Water Tray and Heating Element Cover with water until the smell of vinegar is gone (See fig. 17 - page 2).
- With a soft damp cloth, wipe Heating Element to remove any excess scale. Snap Heating Element Cover back on the bottom of the Mist Chimney. It will only fit one way (See fig. 18 - page 2).
We recommend to use the Protec cleaning fish TWT001EU to prevent growth of bacteria in the water tank and keep your humidifier clean.
