Vicks Warm Mist Humidifier Use and Care Manual

Introduction

This humidifier adds water vapor to the surrounding air. For questions about operation, contact Vicks Consumer Relations at 1-800-VAPOR-1-2 (1-800-827-6712) or visit www.VicksHumidifiers.com/contact-us.

IMPORTANT! READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

The Vicks Warm Mist Humidifier is designed to quietly provide visible warm moisture. Water from the tank feeds into the boiling chamber, where it is heated into steam vapor. The steam vapor then mixes with dry air in the mist chimney, releasing warm, moist air into the room.

Key Features:

• No filters required
• Auto shut-off
• 2 settings for ideal comfort

Important Safety Instructions

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

1. Place the appliance on a firm, flat, waterproof surface at least four feet (1.22m) from bedside and twelve inches (30cm) from the wall.
2. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN AND PETS. Ensure the appliance is stable and the power cord is away from heated surfaces and out of the way to prevent tripping.
3. Do not leave the appliance unattended in a closed room, as air could become saturated and cause personal injury or property damage.
4. Before use, extend the cord and inspect for damage. DO NOT use if the cord is damaged.
5. The appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other) for safety. It fits into a polarized outlet only one way. If it does not fit fully, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt to defeat this safety feature.
6. To avoid fire or electric shock, plug directly into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
7. Always unplug and empty the appliance when not in operation or when cleaning. Shut off and unplug the humidifier before moving. DO NOT move or tilt the humidifier while in operation. Plug and unplug with dry hands. NEVER pull by cord.
8. DO NOT operate the appliance without water. Turn off and unplug when the tank is empty and the reset light is on.
9. CAUTION: To avoid the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, DO NOT use an extension cord or power strip.
10. Appliance requires regular cleaning. Refer to and follow cleaning instructions.
11. DO NOT operate outdoors; this appliance is intended for indoor use.
12. DO NOT cover or insert objects into any openings on the unit.
13. DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust any electrical or mechanical functions on this appliance, as doing so will void your warranty.
14. DO NOT add any medications (e.g., Kaz Inhalant or Vicks VapoSteam) into the Chimney, Base, Reservoir, or Water Tank.
15. DO NOT touch the steam vapor, as it can cause burns. DO NOT operate without the Medicine Cup in place on top of the Mist Chimney.
16. When moving or lifting the Tank, use one hand on the Tank Handle and the other on the bottom of the tank.

To monitor your humidity level, it is recommended you use a hygrometer such as the Vicks V70 or V70-CAN Model (not included). If you notice condensation on the walls or windows, you should turn your humidifier off as your humidity level is too high.
