A NOTE ABOUT HUMIDITY 

• To reduce excessive humidity or condensation, especially in small rooms, leave the room door open and adjust mist intensity to the low output setting.
• Too much humidity in the room may allow moisture to accumulate on surfaces where bacteria and fungi can grow.  Moisture that gathers may also damage furniture and walls, especially wallpaper.

BEFORE EACH USE

CHECK HUMIDIFIER PLACEMENT: 

Place the Humidifier on an elevated, non-metallic, lint-free, waterproof, level surface at least 2 feet above the floor. 

• DO NOT PLACE ON CARPET OR TOWEL.  The fan vent is located on the bottom of the humidifier base. The fan vent MUST NOT be obstructed.

• DO NOT PLACE ON WOOD SURFACE or near furniture that can be damaged by too much moisture.
