Using Your Ultrasonic Humidifier  
First Time Use  
Read all instructions before using this appliance.  
Unpack and remove all packing material from the Water Tank, Mist Nozzle and Base.  
Completely unravel power cord and place unit on a flat, stable surface. Remove the protective  
wrapper from the Demineralization Cartridge and place into the unit as shown. Follow the  
directions below to fill and operate the humidifier.  
Filling the Water Tank  
Always UNPLUG the humidifier before filling.  
1. Remove the Water Tank from the Base and turn it upside down. Turn the Tank Cap  
counterclockwise to open. Rinse and wipe clean.  
2. Fill the Water Tank with clean, cool, tap water and replace the Tank Cap by firmly turning  
clockwise. Turn the Tank upright and check Tank Cap for leaks. If any water drips from  
Tank Cap, remove it and re-tighten. Use of very cold water may temporarily  
reduce the mist output. Never fill the humidifier with hot or warm water as  
this could cause damage and void your warranty.  
To avoid white dust we recommend using a Kaz Demineralization Cartridge (Model DC-  
51) and replacing it after 30-40 fillings. If you live in an extremely hard water area you  
may also wish to use distilled water to further reduce white dust. Refer to About White  
Dust section.  
3. Inspect the Base and Nebulizer for cleanliness. Refer to Care and Cleaning section.  
4. Replace the Water Tank on the Base.  
Operating Instructions  
1. Do not operate the humidifier without water in the Water Tank.  
2. After filling the humidifier, be sure the Power Knob is in the OFF position, then plug the  
power cord into a 120 volt AC wall outlet.  
3. Turn the Power Knob to the On position and then set mist intensity.  
4. Mist will not appear immediately; allow a few minutes for the water to fill the  
Reservoir. If you are using a new Demineralization Cartridge, it may take up to fifteen  
minutes for the filtering material to become saturated and for mist to appear.  
5. Direct Mist Nozzle away from walls and furniture. If condensation forms on walls or  
windows, or if indoor relative humidity exceeds 50%, reduce mist intensity setting, open  
door to room where humidifier is operating, or turn unit off.  
6. If mist is not produced, unplug cord and check the Water Sensor in the Reservoir to  
ensure it is in contact with the water. The water level in the Base must be high enough to  
partially immerse the Water Sensor in order for the humidifier to work.  
7. Turn the humidifier off before removing and refilling the Water Tank. When the tank is  
empty the mist will stop although the fan will continue to operate.  
 
About White Dust  
Use of high-mineral-content water will cause a white mineral residue to accumulate on room  
surfaces near the humidifier. The mineral residue is commonly called “white dust”. The higher the  
mineral content (the harder your water is), the greater the potential for white dust. The white dust  
is not caused by a defect in the humidifier, but is due only to minerals suspended in the water.  
Kaz Demineralization Cartridge  
(Model DC-51)  
This humidifier may be supplied with a Demineralization Cartridge that removes minerals  
from the water. This prevents the precipitation of minerals (“white dust”) that can occur in  
hard water areas. The Demineralization Cartridge is designed to last for about a month to two  
months of normal use; the effective time will vary depending on the mineral content of the  
water used. If you live in a hard water area, we recommend the use of distilled water for better  
results from the humidifier.  
If you are using distilled water in the humidifier, you may find the Demineralization Cartridge  
unnecessary. And, if you choose, you may operate the humidifier without it.  
Replacement Cartridge Model DC-51 should be available where you purchased the humidi-  
fier. For assistance in locating an outlet near you or to purchase directly from Kaz, please call  
1-800-VAPOR-1-2.  
Scent Pad Heater Directions for Use  
Your Vicks Ultrasonic Humidifier includes a Scent Pad Heater so that you can enjoy Vicks  
Soothing Menthol Vapors to increase your comfort. Each scent pad is designed to last for  
6-8 hours of use.  
1. Remove the Water Tank and locate the Scent Pad Slot on the Base under the Water Tank.  
(See page 3.)  
2. Place one scent pad in the slot, being careful not to touch scent pad with your hands.  
If your hands do come in contact with the pad, please wash them thoroughly as the  
menthol can be an irritant.  
3. Replace the tank and turn the unit on.  
WARNING: AS LONG AS YOUR HUMIDIFIER IS ON, THE SCENT PAD HEATER WILL  
ALSO BE ACTIVATED. THIS AREA CAN BE WARM TO THE TOUCH.  
Daily Maintenance  
1. Turn off and unplug your humidifier.  
2. Remove Water Tank and set aside.  
3. Gently pull old scent pad out of the slot and discard.  
4. Open refill pad and insert as described above.  
Note: One complementary scent pad is included with your unit. Additional Vicks VapoPad,  
models (VSP-19 and VSP19-CAN) can be purchased at most retailers or through Kaz  
 
Care and Cleaning  
CAUTION: ALWAYS TURN THE POWER KNOB TO THE OFF POSITION AND DISCON-  
NECT THE POWER CORD FROM THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET BEFORE CLEANING.  
Daily Maintenance  
1. Lift the Water Tank from Base and empty all water from the Reservoir. Remove the Tank  
Cap and drain any water from the Water Tank. Wipe it clean with a soft, damp cloth. The  
Mist Nozzle should be removed during cleaning to prevent damage.  
2. Do not immerse the Base in water. Gently wipe the Reservoir with a soft, clean, wet cloth.  
Do not attempt to remove or in any other way modify the Water Sensor. Use care when  
wiping around the Water Sensor; it is delicate and can be easily damaged. Rinse the  
Water Tank with lukewarm water after each use. For storage, wipe dry with a soft, clean  
cloth. Keep water away from the Air Outlet.  
3. Do not use detergent to clean any water-containing parts of the humidifier. Detergents  
and the film they leave behind can affect the output of the humidifier. Do not use abrasive  
cleansers or brushes.  
4. Do not leave water in the Water Tank or Reservoir when unit is not in use as it may result  
in the build up of mineral deposits and bacteria that can inhibit the output efficiency of  
the humidifier. Please note that if water remains in the Water Tank for more than a day or  
two, bacterial growth is possible.  
Weekly Maintenance  
1. Thoroughly clean humidifier every week using a solution of bleach and water (one  
teaspoon of bleach in one gallon of water). Fill Water Tank partially with this solution, let  
stand twenty (20) minutes, shaking vigorously every few minutes, drain and rinse with  
clean water until the bleach smell is gone.  
2. Wipe the Reservoir with a soft cloth dampened in the solution. Rinse area thoroughly  
before proceeding.  
3. If mineral deposits are evident around the Nebulizer and Water Sensor, clean their surfaces  
with a soft, clean cloth and a small amount of undiluted white vinegar. If necessary for  
removal of mineral deposits, mix a solution of 50% white vinegar and 50% water and fill  
the Base with enough solution to cover the Nebulizer. Allow it to soak for an hour. Then  
use a cotton swab to gently loosen buildup on the Nebulizer. Rinse out the Reservoir and  
wipe clean. Do not touch Nebulizer with bare fingers as any fingerprints or other  
residue can affect mist output. Be careful not to damage the Water Sensor.  
4. Remove VapoPad when finished. Do not pour water or detergent into the Scent Pad slot.  
Scent Pad slot can be cleaned with a cotton swab only.  
5. All surfaces should be thoroughly cleaned with water prior to reuse.  
End of Season Maintenance  
1. Follow above weekly cleaning procedure at the end of the humidification season, or when  
the humidifier will not be used for several days, being sure to dry all parts, including the  
inside of the Water Tank. Do not store with water inside.  
2. Leave Tank Cap partially loosened during storage to prevent Tank Cap and gasket from  
sticking together. This will prolong the life of the gasket.  
3. Clean the Water Tank and Base after long periods of storage.
