CAUTION • T O REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER. THERE ARE NO SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. • T O REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. The lightning flash with arrow-head symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the unit’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock.
DANGER To reduce the risk of electric shock, burns, fire or injury: 1. Do not use while bathing or in a shower. 2. Do not place or store unit where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink. 3. Do not place in, drop or submerge in water or other liquid. 4. Do not reach for unit that has fallen into water. Unplug it immediately. 5. C are should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled onto the unit. WARNING 1.
8. N ever block the air openings of the unit with materials such as clothing, plastic bags or papers, or place it on a soft surface such as a bed or couch, where the air openings may be blocked. 9. Do not overload electrical outlet. Use only the power source as indicated. 10. Do not carry this unit by cord or use cord as handle. 11. Never operate this unit if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been dropped or damaged, or dropped into water.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS CAUTION: BECAUSE HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE GENERATED IN THIS HUMIDIFIER, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED, ESPECIALLY WHEN CHILDREN ARE PRESENT. When using electrical appliances, these basic safety precautions must be followed: 1. DO NOT operate the humidifier without the water tank. 2. ALWAYS use clean, cool tap water to fill the water tank. 3. To avoid risk of fire or shock, DO NOT use an extension cord. 4. DO NOT handle the unit with wet hands. 5.
13. ALWAYS place the unit on a firm, flat, level, water-resistant surface and arrange the power cord so that the product is unlikely to be upset. 14. DO NOT clean the product or service the UV bulb without disconnecting the power cord. 15. Before connecting to electric power outlet, check your electrical power supply. It must be 120 volts AC (alternating current). The outlet may be 15 amp or 20 amp. The circuit must be of adequate size and must be protected by fuse or circuit breaker. 16.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Carefully unpack humidifier and remove all packing material. NOTE: When you unpack your humidifier, you may find it has droplets of water on some surfaces. This is normal as every unit is tested prior to shipping. About POWER/MODE POWER/MODE button can be pushed to either OFF, HI or LO mode. On HI, humidifier will operate on maximum power. On LO, humidifier will operate more quietly on reduced power. The mode will be indicated in the MODE window of the digital display.
Operation 1. Place the base of the unit on a firm, flat, level and water-resistant surface. 2. Fill the WATER TANK according to the instructions on the next page and place it on the humidifier base. 3. Plug the power cord firmly and completely into the wall outlet. 4. Push POWER/MODE switch to either the HI or LO position. Push SET HUMIDITY button until desired humidity appears in the SET HUMIDITY window of the digital display.
FILLING THE WATER TANK REFILL WHEN LIT—When illuminated, the water tank needs refilling. “REF” will also be indicated in the MODE window at this time. If still illuminated after full tank is placed on base, see TROUBLESHOOTING section. 1. Before filling the WATER TANK, push POWER/MODE switch until OFF appears in MODE window and unplug unit. 2. Remove WATER TANK from base, turn the tank upside down and remove TANK CAP by turning counterclockwise. Fill tank with clean, cold tap 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 onto your furniture, the way that other types of humidifiers do.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Water contains minerals and other particles. During operation, most of these minerals 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 a mineral absorption pad appears to disintegrate (normally due to use of softened water), discontinue use of pads.
5. Pour about 1 cup of white vinegar into either reservoir and allow it to soak for only 20 to 30 minutes. 6. Hold the base of the humidifier over the sink and tilt it on its side to empty the vinegar. Fill the cold and hot water reservoirs with clean, warm water to remove all traces of the vinegar. Remove any buildup of minerals in the hot water reservoir using a small brush, such as a toothbrush. NOTE: The buildup is due to water hardness.
Replacing UV BULB If the REPLACE UV BULB WHEN LIT signal light is illuminated during normal use, the bulb must be replaced with the same special 3.5W bulb, EUV-13B. The UV bulb will operate at maximum output for approximately 2,000 hours. The UV bulb may operate longer than 2,000 hours but at a reduced output. To keep your humidifier operating at maximum efficiency it is recommended that the UV bulb be replaced after 2,000 hours of use. 1.
8. Take a replacement 3.5W UV bulb that you purchased from Kaz Incorporated or another supplier and change the bulb. To prolong the life of the bulb, limit your direct contact with the glass of the bulb by using a cloth or tissue to screw it into place. Mail questions or comments to: Kaz, Incorporated, Consumer Relations Dept., 250 Turnpike Road, Southborough, MA 01772. Please be sure to specify model number. Call toll-free at: 800-477-0457; E-mail: consumerrelations@kaz.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Even though you will not receive maximum germicidal effects, you can still use your humidifier until the replacement bulb arrives. NOTE: You may hear a rattling sound and notice a small, round object inside your bulb. This is normal. Your bulb is fully operational. NOTE: Discard the old UV bulb cartridge at a household hazardous waste collection site. Bulb and bulb housing are not intended for use with any other product or purpose. Lamp contains mercury.
