be maintained while the unit is in operation.
RESET Button (“RESTART”) - This control resets the humidifier
after it has shut down due to an empty water tank or after
it has been cleaned. The “RESTART” button needs to be
pressed after each filling/ cleaning. The “EMPTY/CLEAN”
light will remain illuminated after refilling until the “RESTART”
button is pressed.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place your humidifier in the desired location. A hard, level,
waterproof surface is necessary for proper operation. Do
not place your humidifier on any surface that could be
damaged by water droplets.
2. Check that the Automatic Humidistat control is in the
“OFF” position.
3. Remove the water tank and fill it with water as directed
under the heading “Filling the Water Tank.” Make sure that
the removable tray is in place and the misting chamber is
latched. Place the water tank back in the unit and allow
one minute for the water to fill the tray.
4. Plug the power supply cord into the most convenient
120V AC wall outlet.
5. Turn your humidifier on by rotating the Automatic Humidistat
control to your desired comfort level. For details, see the
section titled “Setting the Automatic Humidistat Control.”
6. When all the water in the tank has been used, the “EMPTY/CLEAN”
light will illuminate. After refilling the tank, it is necessary to
press the “RESTART” button to reactivate the humidifier;
this will also extinguish the “EMPTY/CLEAN” light.
Note:
Allowing your humidifier to run out of water before
filling the tank helps to self-clean the heating element.
SETTING THE AUTOMATIC HUMIDISTAT CONTROL
Adjust the Automatic Humidistat control as desired. The unit
has been designed to operate within a range of approximately
20% to 80% R.H. (Relative Humidity). The most favorable
setting for home or office environments is 40% to 45% R.H.
To monitor the actual humidity level in a room, we recommend
the use of a humidity meter such as the Bionaire
®
BT400 or
BT254 Digital Humidity and Temperature Monitor.
The Automatic Humidistat works in the following manner:
• Whenever the humidity in the room is less than the level
you have set, moist air is dispersed from the outlet grill.
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 YOUR WARM MOISTURE HUMIDIFIER WORKS
Lack of humidity in the air, often caused by winter heating, can
dry out your nose, throat and skin. Excessive dryness can also
damage furniture, carpets and fabrics. Warm Moisture humidifiers
put moisture back into the air you breathe to help relieve sinus
and respiratory discomforts, reduce annoying static electricity
and provide a healthy growing environment for your indoor plants.
Water is fed from the
tank into a removable
tray in which a constant
water level is maintained.
This tray collects some
of the minerals that form
on the heating element.
The minerals can be
rinsed from the tray when
the tank runs out of
water (See “Cleaning and Maintenance”). Air is drawn in
through the grill openings and air filter located on the side
of the unit and mixes with steam in the misting chamber.
The warm mist is then dispersed out of the top of the
misting chamber through the outlet grill.
The unit is conveniently refilled with water by taking only the
removable water tank to a water tap. A suitable medication
can be placed in the medication cup and warmed.
