Humidifier without water chamber

Post by Joshaldo » Fri Mar 28, 2014 3:40 pm

Hey guys, last night I forgot to put my water chamber into my humidifier. Filled it up then left it on the bench hehe.. Could I have done any damage to anything?

I would probably know right away; dry air smells different to me.

There is an overheat protection built in for the heat plate.....I think its set around 150 or 160.....something like that, so although you might get that hot plastic smell it shouldn't do any damage
