IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, and injury to persons, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. To avoid fire or shock hazard, plug the appliance directly
into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
3. Keep the cord out of heavy traffic areas. To avoid fire hazard,
NEVER put the cord under rugs, near heat registers, radiator,
stoves, or heaters.
4. DO NOT place humidifier near heat sources such as stoves,
radiators, and heaters. Do locate your humidifier on an inside
wall near an electrical outlet. The humidifier should be at least
4" away from the wall for best results.
5. NEVER place humidifier in an area where it is accessible to children.
6. NEVER use humidifier in a closed room, particularly where a child
may be sleeping, resting, or playing (a closed room may result in
excessive humidity).
7. WARNING: Do not attempt to refill humidifier without first
unplugging the unit from its electrical outlet. Failure to heed
this warning may cause personal injury.
8. NEVER place anything over moisture outlet when unit is running.
9. NEVER drop or insert any object into any openings.
10. DO NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug,
if the appliance malfunctions, or if it has been dropped or damaged
in any manner. Return appliance to manufacturer for examination,
electrical or mechanical adjustment, or repair.
11. Use appliance only for intended household use as described in this
manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may
cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons. The use of attach
ments not recommended or sold by Bionaire
®
may cause hazards.
12. DO NOT use outdoors.
13. Always place humidifier on a firm, flat, level surface (4” from wall).
A waterproof mat or pad is recommended for under the humidifier.
NEVER place it on a rug or carpet, or on a finished floor
that may be damaged by exposure to water or moisture.
14. DO NOT allow the moisture outlet to directly face the wall.
Moisture could cause damage, particularly to wallpaper.

16. NEVER tilt, move, or attempt to empty unit while it is operating.
Shut off and unplug before removing the water reservoir and
moving the unit.

to daily and weekly cleaning procedures.
18. NEVER use detergents, gasoline, glass cleaner, furniture polish,
paint thinner, or other household solvents to clean any part of
the humidifier.
19. Excessive humidity in a room can cause water condensation on
windows and some furniture. If this happens, turn the humidifier OFF.
20. Do not use humidifier in an area where humidity level is in excess
of 50%. Use a hygrometer, available at your local hardware store
or through Bionaire, to measure the humidity.
