IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before operating the humidifier. Keep these instructions.

1. Keep out of the reach of children.
2. Do not operate the humidifier outdoors.

3. Place the humidifier on a level, firm, nonmetallic 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.

4. Unravel the cord before use. Failure to do so could cause overheating and possible fire hazard.

5. Do not use an extension cord or a solid-state speed-control device. Doing so could cause overheating, fire hazard or electric shock.

6. Only connect the humidifier to a single-phase AC supply of the voltage shown on the rating plate.

7. Always disconnect cord at wall plug before removing the unit, filling, touching, moving, cleaning or when not in use. Do not pull on the cord when disconnecting it.

8. Do not add any substances into the Water Tank (2) or Removable Tray (6) (e.g. inhalant, aromatic substances etc.). This can cause health hazards to people.

9. Do not direct the Mist Outlet (8) directly at people, walls or any objects.

10. Do not remove the Water Tank (2) during operation when it is filled. Do not operate the humidifier without water or when the Water Tank (2) is empty.

11. Do not immerse the humidifier in water or other liquids and do not pour water or other liquids over the humidifier or into the Mist Outlet (8).

12. Ventilate the room regularly. When a humidifier is used in closed or small rooms, excessive humidity can condense on furniture, walls and floors.

14. If the supply cord of the humidifier is damaged the replacement must be conducted by the manufacturer, service agent or authorized person to avoid any risk.
