Keep away from heat sources, direct sunlight, and obstructions to airflow.
For initial use, allow unit to stand upright for 24 hours if transported on its side.

WARNING! Do not place in confined spaces or block air vents. Ensure proper electrical outlet (120V, 60Hz).

First-Time Setup

Plug into grounded outlet; follow initial setup steps.

Insert water tank securely until it clicks into place.
Plug power cord into grounded 120V outlet.
Press POWER button to turn on unit.
Set desired humidity level using UP/DOWN buttons (recommended: 45-50% RH).
Select mode: AUTO (recommended), TURBO, or CONTINUOUS.
For continuous drain: Connect hose to drain port before operation (see Section 8).

CAUTION! Handle water tank carefully when full (approx. 8.5 lbs). Use two hands.
