can humidifier be placed on the floor or does have to be elevated
The Aircare MA0800 humidifier can be placed on the floor, but it should be on a level surface and not on soft carpet. It should also be positioned at least 4 inches away from walls or curtains and not placed directly in front of a hot air duct or radiator.

Should I use warm or cold water to fill? This is the 2nd year of operation. Last year it worked flawlessly. With a new filter this year, it will not humidify more than 30% whereas it achieved 40% or more last year. What could cause the change?
what does CF mean?
CF means "CHECK YOUR FILTER" and appears after 720 hours of use to remind you to check the wick filter. To reset the CF code, unplug the humidifier, check the wick, and replace it if necessary. Then, plug the unit back in.
