HOW YOUR WARM MIST HUMIDIFIER
WORKS
Your Bionaire™ Warm Mist Humidifier is designed
to allow the proper amount of water to flow out of
the tank and into the Heating Chamber where the
Electronic Thermal Control Heating Element
warms the water. Air is drawn in through the grill
openings located in the back of the unit and mixed
with steam in the misting chamber. The warm mist
is then dispersed out of the top of the misting
chamber through the outlet grill and into the room.
NOTE:
A humidity level below 20% can be
unhealthy and uncomfortable. The recommended
humidity level is between 40%-50%.
PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
(See Figs. 1 - 4)
1. Be sure the Humidifier is switched to OFF and
the unit is disconnected from the electrical
outlet.
2. Select a location for your Humidifier, on a flat
surface, about 10cm (4") away from the wall.
DO NOT place the Humidifier on a finished
floor on or near furniture which can be
damaged by moisture or water. Place on a
moisture-resistant surface.
Filling the Water Tank
NOTE:
This humidifier holds about 5.6 litres of
water in the tank and humidifier base. The
humidifier will produce up to 11.5 litres of moisture
over a 24-hour period, depending on the room
humidity and temperature.
1. If not already removed, remove the Tank from
the base of the Humidifier and take it to the
cold water tap. Turn the Tank 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 the Tank FIRMLY
but do not overtighten.
2. When full, carry Tank to the Humidifier and
place onto the Base. The water will
immediately begin to flow into Base.
3. Plug the power cord into a convenient 220/
240V AC electrical outlet.
