FOLLOWING THESE SIMPLE GUIDELINES FOR USE AND CARE WILL HELP ENSURE YEARS OF DEPENDABLE AND EFFICIENT SERVICE. IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS CAUTION: BECAUSE HIGH TEMPERATURE IS GENERATED IN THIS HUMIDIFIER, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED ESPECIALLY WHEN CHILDREN ARE PRESENT. WHEN USING ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES, THESE BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED: 1. DO NOT operate the humidifier without the water tank. [. . . ] To keep your humidifier operating at maximum efficiency it is recommended that the UV germicidal bulb be replaced after 2, 000 hours of use. 4 In order to add a medicated vapor to the "mist" output: 1. Turn the ON-OFF switch to the "OFF" position and allow the outlet grille to cool. Carefully add liquid medication; DO NOT fill the cup more than half full. Turn the ON-OFF switch to the "ON" position. After use, remove the cup from the unit and clean any residue from the cup with warm water. 5 WARNING: DO NOT use any liquid medication other than those specifically recommended for use with a steam vaporizer or warm mist humidifier. DO NOT pour medication directly into the mist outlet grille openings nor add it to the water in the tank or tray. MINERAL ABSORPTION PAD INSTRUCTIONS Warm mist humidifiers do not spread fine mineral dust into the air that you breathe nor on your furniture, the way that other type humidifiers do. The mineral dust remains trapped in the humidifier hot water reservoir. Use of Mineral Absorption Pads will play a major role in capturing and removing minerals from hot water reservoir, and preventing a stubborn mineral buildup. Before starting humidifier, place mineral absorption pad in the hot water reservoir. After the humidifier has been operating, the water will become HOT, and CAUTION should be exercised when handling mineral absorption pad. It is best to allow humidifier water to cool down, and to use tongs or long tweezers when handling pad. The useful life of the mineral absorption pad will vary, depending on the mineral content of the water used. In areas of moderate mineral content water supply, the mineral absorption pad should be changed after approximately (3) weeks of continuous use. If the water is "Hard Water", the pad should be changed more frequently. The best way to tell when the pad should be changed is to examine it AFTER the water has cooled down, to see if it is still soft and pliable. When the pad is near the end of its life, it becomes stiff and hard and should be replaced with a new pad. Another sign to change pad is when scale begins to buildup on interior of hot water reservoir. WATER FALL INTO CONTROLS OR VENT OPENINGS. DO NOT drain in any manner other than indicated. WARNING: DO NOT place directly under running faucet. Turn the base upside down and remove the cap by turning it counterclockwise. Clean out any foreign matter that has accumulated inside the fitting from which the cap was removed. After cleaning, replace this cap tightly by hand. [. . . ] Have other repairs professionally performed. GLOW It is normal to see the humidifier glow when operating in a darkened room. This glow results from the internal illumination of the 3. 5 watt UV bulb. However, no ultraviolet light, even at this harmless level, passes through the UV-proof cabinet into the room.
