IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Use this unit only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by Homedics; specifically, any attachments not provided with this unit.
• NEVER drop or insert any object into any opening.
• NEVER operate the appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been dropped or damaged, or dropped into water. Return the appliance to a Homedics Service Center for examination and repair.
• Always unplug the unit when filling or moving the unit.

ABOUT WHITE DUST

Use of high mineral content hard water may cause a white mineral residue to accumulate on surfaces in the room near the humidifier. The mineral residue is commonly called “white dust”. The higher the mineral content (or the harder your water is), the greater the potential for white dust. The white dust is not caused by a defect in the humidifier. It is caused only by minerals suspended in the water. Use distilled water if you experience white dust near the humidifier.

HOW TO OPERATE

Insert single pin plug into the back of the humidifier, then plug the adapter into a 120-volt AC electrical outlet. When the humidifier is out of water, the power/out of water LED will glow red.

POWER BUTTON

Press to turn humidifier on/off.

MIST OUTPUT

NIGHT-LIGHT/DISPLAY LIGHTS

HOW TO USE OIL TRAY

CAUTION: Putting oil anywhere but the oil tray will damage the humidifier.

NOTE: For use with the included Homedics essential oil pads only.

NOTE: Do not leave a used essential oil pad in the oil tray if it will be out of use for a long period of time.

ARE ESSENTIAL OILS SAFE TO USE AROUND PETS?

We should always exercise caution when using essential oils around pets. Keep all essential oil and aromatherapy products (like diffusers) out of the reach of pets. Keep open bottles away from pets to avoid internal consumption. We do not recommend the topical use of essential oils on pets, as they have a strong sense of smell and cannot get rid of the oil if they don't like it or it is disturbing them. When diffusing essential oils around pets, always diffuse in a well-ventilated area and leave an option for them to remove themselves from the space, such as leaving a door open. Every animal is different, so carefully observe how each animal responds when introducing an essential oil for the first time. If irritation occurs, discontinue the use of the essential oil. We recommend seeking medical attention if ingestion of essential oil occurs.

HOW TO CLEAN AND CARE

CAUTION: Before cleaning, turn off and unplug the humidifier from the wall outlet and unplug the AC adapter plug from the back of the humidifier. Clean over a waterproof surface near a faucet.

DO NOT place any parts of the humidifier in the dishwasher.

DO NOT submerge the humidifier in water or any other liquid. Doing so will damage the humidifier.

DO NOT use abrasive pads or brushes, harsh chemicals, detergents, or liquid soaps to clean the humidifier. Clean with a soft cloth, cotton swab or soft brush.
