CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
Note: This is an electrical appliance and requires attention when in use.
Note: If moisture forms on the walls or windows of the room, turn off
the humidifier. The room already has plenty of humidity and additional
moisture may cause damage. Do not block air inlet or outlet.
CORD AND PLUG INSTALLATION SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
The length of cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce
the hazards of becoming tangled
in, or tripping over a longer cord.
If a longer cord is necessary an
approved extension cord may be
used. The electrical rating of the
extension cord must be equal to
or greater than the rating of
the humidifier. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so
that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be
pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.
HOW COOL MIST WORKS
Your Bionaire
®
Cool Mist humidifier draws dry air through the rear
air intake grill area. This air is then passed through a moisture-laden
wick filter, which retains the minerals and deposits in the water. The
resulting moist air is directed back into the room from the top air grill.
Tip: This humidification system provides a cool, invisible moisture
output. It is normal not to see the mist.
Tip: A humidity level below 20% can be unhealthy and
uncomfortable. The recommended humidity level is
between 40%-50%.
PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1.Be sure the humidifier is OFF and disconnected from the
electrical outlet.
2.Select a location for your humidifier, on a flat surface, about
4" away from the wall. Do not place your humidifier on furniture;
a floor location that will not be damaged by moisture is best.
3.Remove the water tank by holding the tank handle and lifting
straight upward (see Figure 1).
4.Remove the main housing by lifting straight upward. Check
to see that the wick filter is properly in place. Replace the
humidifier housing.
FILLING THE WATER TANK
NOTE: This humidifier holds about 2.25 gallons of water in the tank
and humidifier base. The humidifier will produce up to 4 gallons of
moisture over a 24-Hour period, depending on the room humidity
and temperature.
1.Be sure the humidifier is OFF and disconnected from
the electrical outlet.
