4. Place water tank on base. Make sure tank is properly placed, otherwise, the
humidifier will not work correctly.
USING THE MEDICATION CUP/MIST OUTLET GRILLE (OPTIONAL)
In order to add a medicated vapor to the “mist” output:
1. Press “POWER/MODE” touch switch to the “OFF” position and allow the
outlet grille to cool.
2. Lift the medication cup.
3. Carefully add liquid medication; DO NOT fill the cup more than half full.
4. Carefully replace the medication cup.
5. Press “POWER/MODE” to either the “LO” or “HI” position.
6. After use, remove the cup from the unit and clean any residue from the cup with
warm water.
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. The unit can run without
pads, but more frequent cleaning will be required.
1. Before starting humidifier, place mineral absorption pad in the hot water reser-
voir. 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.
2. 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.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Water contains minerals and other particles. During operation most of these miner-
als will remain in the water reservoir. Gradual buildup of deposits will coat the hot
water reservoir and reduce its efficiency. The importance of routine cleaning and
care cannot be over-emphasized. Hard water contains more minerals and other
particles. If pad appears to disintegrate (normally due to use of softened water) dis-
continue use of pads.
