CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION  
NOTE: This is an electrical appliance and requires attention when in use.  
NOTE: If moisture forms on the walls or windows of the room, turn OFF the  
Humidifier. The room already has plenty of humidity and additional moisture  
may cause damage.  
NOTE: DO NOT block air inlets or Cool Mist outlet.  
POLARIZED PLUG  
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce  
the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one  
way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not  
fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.  
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS  
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming  
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.  
Do not use an extension cord with this product.  
ELECTRIC POWER  
If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance  
may not operate properly. It should be operated on a separate electrical  
circuit from other appliances.  
PLASTICIZER WARNING  
CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers from migrating from the finish of the countertop  
or tabletop or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC  
coasters or placemats between the appliance and the finish of the countertop  
or tabletop.  
Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken, permanent blemishes may occur or  
stains can appear.

INTRODUCTION  
Your Cool Mist Humidifier is designed to dispense a cool mist quietly and efficiently  
while maintaining your preferred level of humidity. Enjoy continuous cool air misting  
or program the Humidifier to run from 1 to 8 hours with automatic shut off.  
NOTE: The Cool Mist Humidifier holds 1.2 gallons of water and will run for  
12 hours of continuous operation before refilling is necessary.  
NOTE: A humidity level below 20% can be unhealthy and uncomfortable. The  
recommended humidity level is between 40% and 50%.  
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME  
1. Be sure the Humidifier is switched to OFF and the unit is unplugged.  
2. Choose a suitable location for the Cool Mist Humidifier on a flat surface, with the  
front of the Cool Mist Outlet at least 6 feet 6 inches from the nearest wall. DO  
NOT place the Humidifier on a finished floor or near furniture, which can be  
damaged by moisture or water. NEVER place the Humidifier in a closed room.  
3. Lift the Cool Mist Humidifier using the Carry Handle and place on a moisture-  
resistance surface.  
FILLING THE WATER TANK  
1. Use the Water Tank Handle (on the top of the Water Tank) to lift the Tank straight  
up and out of the Humidifier Housing. Turn the empty Tank upside down; unscrew  
the Water Tank Lid by turning counter-clockwise, Remove the Lid.  
2. Fill Tank with cool, tap water or bottled distilled water.*  
*In areas where tap water is hard, it is recommended that distilled water be used.  
CAUTION: The Water Tank is delicate and may crack if dropped or bumped. To ensure  
proper performance of your Cool Mist Humidifier, use care when filling and  
transporting the Water Tank.  
WARNING: DO NOT fill with warm water as this may cause leaking.  
IMPORTANT: Check the inside of the Lid to make sure the Rubber Seal Ring is correctly  
positioned before replacing the Lid.  
3. Make sure the Rubber Ring is in position, sitting flat in the groove on the inside  
of the Lid. Twist the Lid clockwise and firmly lock onto the Tank.  
4. Firmly grasping the Water Tank Handle, re-insert into the Humidifier Housing  
inside the Water Basin. The Tank will immediately begin to empty into the Water  
Basin of the Humidifier.  
NOTE: Replace the Water Tank so that the Water Tank Handle faces left.

limescale deposits that can cause a film on the Water Basin and Water Tank and cause  
the water to become cloudy.  
NOTE: In areas where tap water is hard, It is recommended that distilled water be used.

USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS  
This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user serviceable parts.  
Do not try to repair it yourself. Any servicing requiring disassembly other than  
cleaning, must be performed by a qualified appliance repair technician.  
CARE AND CLEANING  
The following maintenance procedures must be routinely followed in order to  
ensure proper, efficient operation of your Humidifier.  
IMPORTANT: The unit WILL NOT WORK CORRECTLY if it is not cleaned and  
maintained properly. Proper cleaning is absolutely essential to avoid algae or  
bacteria build-up.  
When the unit is in use, daily and weekly maintenance is recommended to  
prevent scale buildup and micro-organisms from growing on both the Wick  
Filter and the Water Basin. This ensures that maximum efficiency will  
be achieved.  
REPLACING THE WICK FILTER  
Through normal use, waterborne minerals and sediment become trapped in the  
Wick Filter turning the Filter brown in color, a sign that changing is needed. The  
harder your water, the greater the amount of minerals in the water, and the more  
often you will need to change your Wick Filter. Regular Filter replacement is  
necessary to ensure optimal Humidifier performance.  
To replace the Wick Filter, follow the steps below.  
1. Press the ON/OFF Button to turn the unit OFF and unplug the unit.  
2. Use the Water Tank Handle (on the top of the Water Tank) to lift the Tank  
straight up and out of the Water Tank Housing.  
3. Press the Release Buttons on both side panels and lift the Main Body straight  
up and off the Water Basin.  
4. Discard the old Wick Filter and replace with a new 2-Piece Wick Filter. One  
new Wick Filter will fit around the curved area; the other fits along the flat  
back area of the Filter Holder.  
5. Following the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS outlined previously in this Owner’s  
Manual, program your Cool Mist Humidifier to run for 30 minutes, allowing the  
Humidifier to reach maximum output.  
NOTE: The Cool Mist Humidifier uses Model WST7505 2-Piece Replacement  
Wick Filter.
