Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, any implied warranty or condition of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose is limited in duration to the duration of the above warranty. [. . . ] DO NOT place hands, face or body directly over or near Moisture Outlet while unit is in operation. DO NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, after the appliance malfunctions, or if it has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Use appliance only for intended household use as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons. The use of attachments not recommended or sold the manufacturer may cause hazards. NEVER place it on a rug or carpet, or on a finished floor that may be damaged by exposure to water or moisture. Shut off and unplug before removing the water tank and moving the unit. If you have a warm mist humidifier, DO NOT attempt to remove the water tank within 15 minutes after the humidifier is turned off and unplugged. Never use gasoline, glass cleaner, furniture polish, paint thinner, or other household solvents to clean any part of the humidifier. Excessive humidity in a room can cause water condensation on windows and some furniture. Do not use humidifier in an area where humidity level is in excess of 50%. Use a hygrometer, available at your local retailer or through the manufacturer to measure the humidity. DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust any electrical or mechanical functions on this unit. If you have a warm mist humidifier, allow unit to cool before refilling water tank or maintenance as the heater bulb is hot. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the humidifier. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over. Bring the tank to the sink, turn upside down and twist off the tank cap by turning counter clockwise. Make sure the safety lock is rotated completely to the locked position. IMPORTANT: If you do not plan to use the humidifier for two or more days, make sure any residual water is drained from the water tank and base to prevent algae or bacterial growth. We cannot over-emphasize how essential proper cleaning is to the maintenance and continued use of your unit and to the avoidance of algae or bacteria build-up. Clean the tray by partially filling the base with one 8-oz cup of undiluted white vinegar. Let solution stand 20 minutes, cleaning all interior surfaces with a soft brush. [. . . ] This will remove any sediment and dirt that has accumulated in the base. Wipe the heating element clean with a soft cloth after it has had a chance to cool. Never use detergents, gasoline, kerosene, glass cleaner, furniture polish, paint thinner or other household solvents to clean any part of the humidifier. Your Holmes® Warm Mist humidifier is designed to allow the proper amount of water to flow out of the tank. [. . . ]
