Before initial use

1.1

Intended Purpose

Young children commonly get about 6-8 colds and upper respiratory tract infections each year.
Increasing the air moisture is a common way to help your child feel better when he is congested.
The Ultrasonic Humidiefier generates a cool mist. This excludes the risk of your child getting accidently
burned.
One thing that makes winter uncomfortable for humans, even inside a nice warm building, is low
humidity. People need a certain level of humidity to be comfortable. In the winter, indoor humidity can
be extremely low and the lack of humidity can dry out your skin and mucous membranes. Low humidity
also makes the air feel colder than it actually is. Dry air can also dry out the wood in the walls and floors
of our houses. As the drying wood shrinks, it can cause creaks in floors and cracks in drywall and plaster.
People tend to feel most comfortable at a relative humidity of about 45 percent. The Ultrasonic Humidifier
1801 will help to keep indoor humidity at a comfortable level.

• Always put the humidifier on a hard, flat horizontal surface, at least 15cm from the walls and away
from any source of heat such as burners, radiators etc. The humidifier cannot operate on a surface
that is not horizontal.
• Keep the humidifier out of reach of children. Do not permit children to play with it.

is damaged.
• Do not plug or unplug the humidifier with wet hands.
• Never disassemble the basic unit.
• Never operate the humidifier with a defective plug or cord, or after a breakdown or damage of any
kind. In these cases, return the appliance to the nearest approved dealer/repairer for verification
and any necessary repairs or adjustments.
• Do not use additives such as perfumes, essences, etc.
• Never add alkaline substances in the water tank.
• Do not shake the humidifier. This could spill water into the base unit and affect its operation.

• The ultrasonic humidifier should be cleaned regularly. To do this, refer to the cleaning instructions in
