Important Safety Instructions

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:

• Read all instructions before using the humidifier.
• Place the humidifier on a firm, flat, level surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
• Do not place the humidifier on soft surfaces such as carpets or towels, as this could block the air intake.
• Do not use the humidifier in areas where humidity levels are already high, such as bathrooms.
• Always unplug the humidifier before filling, cleaning, or moving it.
• Do not immerse the humidifier base in water or other liquids.
• Keep the humidifier out of reach of children and pets.
• Use only clean, cool tap water. Distilled or demineralized water is recommended to prevent mineral buildup.
