Important Safety Instructions
READ AND SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
USING THIS HUMIDIFIER
WHEN USING ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES, BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD
ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK
AND INJURY TO PERSONS, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
1.
The humidifier should ALWAYS be placed
on a firm, flat, waterproof surface at least
four feet (1.2m) away from bedside, 12
inches (30cm) from the wall and out of
reach of children and pets.
2.
Be sure the humidifier is in a stable
position and the power cord is away
from heated surfaces and out of the
way to prevent the humidifier from being
overturned.
3.
Before using the humidifier, extend the
cord and inspect for any signs of damage.
DO NOT use the unit if the cord has been
damaged. DO NOT operate with power
cord coiled or with twist tie in place.
4.
The humidifier has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other) as a safety
feature. This plug will fit into a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not
fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. DO NOT attempt to defeat
this safety feature.
5.
CAUTION: To avoid fire or electric
shock hazard, plug the humidifier directly
into a 120V AC electrical outlet. To avoid
risk of fire, electric shock, or personal
injury, DO NOT use an extension cord
or power strip.
6.
The humidifier should ALWAYS be
unplugged and emptied when not in
operation or while being cleaned. Shut
off and unplug humidifier before moving.
2
DO NOT move or tilt humidifier while it
is in operation. Plug and unplug unit with
dry hands. NEVER pull by cord.
7.
DO NOT operate the humidifier without
water. Turn off and unplug unit when
tank is empty.
8.
Humidifier requires regular cleaning. Refer
to and follow cleaning instructions.
9.
DO NOT operate outdoors; this humidifier
is intended for indoor residential use only.
10.
DO NOT cover or insert objects into any
openings on the unit. DO NOT block intake
or output vents.
11.
DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust any
electrical or mechanical functions on this
humidifier. Doing so will void your warranty.
12.
DO NOT add any essential oils or
medications (e.g. Kaz Inhalant or Vicks
VapoSteam) into Removable Tray or
Water Tank.
13.
When moving or lifting the full Water Tank,
use two hands; one hand on the Tank
Handle and the other on the bottom of
the Tank.
14.
DO NOT touch skin with exposed VapoPad
or place VapoPad on furniture, fabric,
bedding, or plastic.
15.

Getting to know your Vicks Filtered Cool Moisture Humidifier
Invisible moisture
This Vicks Filtered Cool Moisture Humidifier is an evaporative humidifier.
•
Evaporative humidification means you will NOT see the
moisture output.
•
With evaporative humidification, a fan pulls dry air from the
room through the saturated Wicking Filter. Moisture from the
Wicking Filter evaporates and is pushed into the room with the
help of the fan.
•
Evaporative humidification adjusts moisture output to the
amount of moisture the air can hold. The drier (less humid) the
air in the room, the more moisture the humidifier will add to
the air. An evaporative humidifier cannot add more moisture to
the room than the air can hold. The amount of moisture the air
can hold depends on many factors including relative humidity
level, temperature and size of room.

How It Works
A Wicking Filter inside the humidifier absorbs water from the Removable Tray. A fan pulls dry air
from the room into the humidifier where it passes through the saturated Wicking Filter. The filter
captures minerals and other impurities from the water, before the moisture is evaporated back into
the dry room with the help of the fan. The amount of moisture output depends on many factors,
including the current room humidity and temperature. As the humidity level in the room increases,
the moisture output decreases, which prevents over humidification.
