unplugging the unit from its electrical outlet. Failure to
heed this warning may cause personal injury. Be sure to
unplug the unit by pulling on the plug and not the cord.
7. Never place anything over moisture outlet when the

The length of cord used on this appliance was selected to
reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over
a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved
extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the
extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of
the humidifier. Care must be taken to arrange the
extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop
or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or
accidentally tripped over.
NOTE: The Digital Humidifier has memory. This means
that when you turn the unit back on, it will be at the last
setting the humidifier was set at.
If you do not plan to use the humidifier for two or more
days, make sure any residual water is drained from the
water tank, base and wick filter to prevent algae or
bacteria growth.
