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. Kaz will not accept responsibility for property damage caused by water spillage. WALL Filling • Remove the water tank by grasping handle and pulling straight up. Set aside (Fig. 1). Fig. 1 • Lift up on the motor housing to remove and set aside (Fig. 2). Remove the filter from the base before filling the unit with water. Soak filter in a sink full of cool water to help reduce mineral buildup and place back in the humidifier while wet. DO NOT SQUEEZE OR WRING OUT THE FILTER. To help extend the life of your filter, repeat this step each time you fill your 6" humidifier. • Turn the Water Tank upside down so that the Fill Cap is facing up; unscrew the Fill Cap by turning it counter-clockwise and set aside. Fig. 2 • Fill the Water Tank with COOL tap water (Fig. 3). Distilled water is not necessary as the water is filtered by the filter. DO NOT USE HOT WATER. Doing so may damage the humidifier. • Replace the fill cap by turning it clockwise . DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. Turn the Water Tank right-side up. NOTE: When carrying the filled Water Tank please use the handle and place your other hand under the tank for additional support. • Place the Motor Housing back into the base. Fig. 3 • Position the Water Tank in the humidifier and push into place. Some water will empty into the base. • Once the filled tank has been positioned, do not attempt to move the humidifier. If it has to be moved, unplug the humidifier and remove the water tank first. CAUTION: DO NOT POUR WATER INTO THE GRILLE IN THE FRONT OF THE HUMIDIFIER. DOING SO MAY DAMAGE THE HUMIDIFIER OR CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY. 4
