water as this may cause leaking. Replace the cap on tank
FIRMLY. Follow step 5-6 in pre-operating instructions.
WARNING: DO NOT move the humidifier with water in the

may activate the water tank’s release nozzle and overfill the
humidifier base. This may cause the humidifier to function
intermittently, or stop emitting mist. Should this occur,
simply remove the excess water from the humidifier base.
IMPORTANT: If you do not plan to use your humidifier for
two or more days, make sure any residual water is drained
from the water tank and base to prevent any algae or
bacteria growth in stagnant water. Make sure the tank is dry.
