What to do
A small amount of water spilled in the basin of
the humidifier will not harm your device. A small
spill in the humidifier will evaporate under normal
humidifier use. However, too much water in the
humidifier basin could spill over the humidifier lid
hinge and might damage your furniture.
Disconnect power from the device. Remove the
water chamber, pour out any excess water until the
water level is at or below the maximum fill line and
set the chamber aside. Separate the humidifier
from the therapy device, and pour out the spilled
water. Once the heater plate has cooled, wipe
the inside of the humidifier with a paper towel
or soft cloth. If needed, dry the underside of the
humidifier and confirm that your table top is dry.
Reconnect the humidifier and power supply, and
reinstall the water chamber.
