USE AND CARE MANUAL
Important Safety Instructions
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING HUMIDIFIER, ESPECIALLY THESE BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
1.
Always place humidifier on a firm, flat, level surface, at least FIVE inches away from walls and
heat sources such as stoves, radiators or heaters. Humidifier may not work properly on a non-
level surface.
2.
Place humidifier in an area that is out of the reach of children.
3.
Before using the humidifier, extend the cord and inspect for any signs of damage. Do not use
the product if cord has been damaged.
4.
Humidifier should always be unplugged and emptied when not in operation or while being cleaned.
5.
Never tilt or move the humidifier while it is in operation. Shut off and unplug before moving.
6.
Humidifier requires regular cleaning. Read and follow Care and Cleaning instructions.
7.
In certain areas, tap water is extremely hard, containing a higher-than-normal concentration of
various minerals. These minerals can be emitted into the air, possibly causing adverse reactions
in people with breathing difficulties. In such cases, use only distilled or demineralized water
and clean the humidifier every day. (See Care and Cleaning instructions).
8.
If you have breathing difficulties, consult your physician before using any humidification product.
9.
In hard-water areas a white dust may form on furniture. This can easily be wiped away with a
cloth. To avoid the white dust, use distilled water.

As a condition of sale, the purchaser assumes responsibility for the proper care and use of this
appliance in accordance with our printed instructions. The purchaser or user must judge for
himself or herself when to use it and length of use.
Troubleshooting
IF THE UNIT DOES NOT OPERATE:
• Check that polarized plug is fully inserted into wall outlet.
• Check airflow. Are there any obstructions preventing airflow?
• The motor contains a temperature-limiting fuse. If the motor overheats, the fuse will trip and
shut off the motor. Unplug the unit and contact our Consumer Service Department. Do not
attempt to repair the motor yourself.
IF YOU DO NOT OBTAIN ENOUGH HUMIDITY:
• Because of break-in characteristics, maximum output will not be reached until the unit has been
used several times. If the air in the room is extremely dry, there will be greater absorption of the
vapor and faster depletion of the water reservoir. As the humidity increases, output will
decrease and adding of water will be required less frequently. This variation is normal.
• Under certain conditions the moisture output may not be visible. It is operating properly, however,
if the water level goes down during usage, even when you cannot see the vapor.
• The DynaFilter cartridge may be clogged with pollutants and should be replaced.
IF YOU ARE OBTAINING TOO MUCH HUMIDITY AND WATER FALLS OUT AROUND THE UNIT:
• Room air may be excessively humid (greater than 50% relative humidity); do not use humidifier.
Oversaturated air can cause condensation on cold walls or furniture. For proper humidity readings,
use a hygrometer available in most hardware and department stores.
• The humidifier may need cleaning. Follow Care and Cleaning instructions.
• Medication or other additives may have been added to the water. Follow Care and Cleaning
Instructions.

bleshooting section above to ensure that it is not due to care or
cleaning. Follow Care and Cleaning instructions.
