IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
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 or near heat
registers.
4. DO NOT place humidifier near heat sources such as
stoves, radiators, and heaters. 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. 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).
6. 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. Be sure
to unplug the unit by pulling on the plug and not the cord.
7. Never place anything over moisture outlet when the unit
is running.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
NOTE: DO NOT block air inlet or outlet.
CORD AND PLUG INSTALLATION SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
THIS APPLIANCE HAS A POLARIZED
PLUG (one blade is wider than the
other). To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this plug is intended to fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install the proper outlet.
DO NOT DEFEAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE OF THIS
POLARIZED PLUG IN ANY WAY
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.
SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
1. Select a location for your humidifier, on a flat, level
surface about 4 Inch away from the wall. DO NOT
place the humidifier on a finished floor or near furniture,
which can be damaged by too much moisture or water.
Place on a moisture-resistant surface.
2. Remove the tank from the main housing.
3. Bring the tank to the sink, turn upside down and twist
off the tank cap by turning counter clockwise. Fill tank
with cool, fresh tap water. DO NOT fill with warm water
as this may cause leaking. Replace the cap on tank
FIRMLY.
4. Carefully bring the filled tank over to the humidifier,
holding it level to avoid sloshing or spilling of water.
5. Carefully place tank back onto the base to prevent
water from spilling. The tank will immediately begin to
empty into the base.
6. Plug the humidifier into a 120V electrical outlet.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. To turn the unit on, press the Bionaire logo power
button in front of the unit so that it illuminates.
2. When the humidifier runs out of water, the transducer
will automatically shut off and the fan will keep running
to dry any residual water out of the base and chamber.
3. Once the tank is empty, press the power button to turn
the unit off and unplug the unit.
4. Before refilling the tank, empty or sponge up any
residual water from the base and tank. Follow daily
maintenance instructions.
5. Fill tank with cool, fresh tap water. DO NOT fill with
warm water as this may cause leaking. Replace the
cap on tank FIRMLY.
6. Carefully place the tank onto the base. The tank will
immediately begin to empty into the base.
7. Plug the humidifier into a 120V electrical outlet.
WARNING: DO NOT move the humidifier while it is
operating with water in the tank or in the humidifier base.
The moving action of the water may activate the water
tank’s release nozzle and overfill the transducer cavity. This
may cause the humidifier to function intermittently, or stop
emitting mist. Should this occur, turn off and unplug the
unit, then remove the excess water from the humidifier base.
IMPORTANT: If you do not plan to use your humidifier for
two or more days, make sure any residual water is drained
from the water tank and base to prevent any algae or
bacteria growth in stagnant water. Make sure the tank is dry.
How Does The Revolution
TM
Ultrasonic Humidifier Work?
1. Water from the tank is dispersed into the base reservoir
where a transducer vibrates the water at ultrasonic
speed (1.7 million times per second).
2. The transducer breaks the water into mist and sends it
into the Revolution
TM
humidifier's front chamber. A
vortex air flow propels the smaller finer mist particles up
and disperses the fine vapor into the air through the top
of the grill, while the denser larger water molecules fall
back into the base.
3. The resulting mist emitted from the Revolution
TM
is much
finer and lighter than from typical ultrasonic humidifiers.
The benefit is faster evaporation and faster humidity
room coverage.
NOTE: Do not let water sit in tank for extended periods.
This can encourage bacterial growth.
