SET UP NOTE: We recommend that the humidifier be disinfected prior to first use. Please see CLEANING instructions. • Select a firm, level, flat location - at least six inches (15 cm) from any wall for proper air flow (Fig. 1). • Place the humidifier on a water-resistant surface, as water can damage furniture and some flooring. Honeywell will not accept responsibility for property damage caused by water spillage.
