3. Push the POWER switch to the ON position.

WARNING:
DO NOT use any liquid medicine other than those specifically recommended
for use with a steam vaporizer or warm mist humidifier.
DO NOT pour medicine directly into the top housing 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. 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
reservoir. 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. If pad
appears to disintegrate (normally due to use of softened water) discontinue
use of pads.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Water contains minerals and other particles. During operation most of these min-
erals 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.
