1. Move the power knob to the HI (
II
) position.
2. Rotate the mist volume knob from the smallest to the largest
graduation to regulate the mist output.
We recommend the use of a hygrometer which reads the actual
humidity level in your room. A humidity level below 20% can be
unhealthy and uncomfortable. The recommended humidity level is
between 40% and 50%.
3. Rotate the mist outlet to the desired mist direction.
4. 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.
5. Turn the Power Knob to the OFF ( O ) position and unplug.
6. Before refilling the tank, empty any residual water and follow
Daily Maintenance instructions.
7. Refill the water tank with cool fresh tap water and replace onto
base. DO NOT fill with warm water as this may cause leaking.
8. Plug the power cord into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
This humidifier holds 1 Gallon of water and will produce up to
2.8 gallons of moisture over a 24 hour period.
WARNING: DO NOT move the humidifier with water in tank or 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 altogether. Should this occur, simply remove the excess water
from the humidifier base (see #3 under Daily Maintenance).
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.
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 120 V 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. 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 it’s electrical outlet. Failure to
heed this warning may cause personal injury. Be sure to
pull the plug and not the cord.
7. Never place anything over moisture outlet when the unit
is running.
8. NEVER drop or insert any object into any openings.
9. DO NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cord or
plug, after 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.
10. Use appliance only for intended household use as
described in this manual. Any other use not recommend-
ed by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or
injury to persons. The use of attachments not recom-
mended or sold by FamilyCare may cause hazards.
11. DO NOT use outdoors.
12. Always place humidifier on a firm, flat, level surface. 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.
13. DO NOT allow the Mist Outlet to directly face the wall.
Moisture could cause damage, particularly to
wallpaper.
14. Humidifier should be unplugged when not in use.
15. NEVER tilt, move, or attempt to empty unit while it is
operating. Shut off and unplug before removing the
water tank and moving the unit.
16. This humidifier requires daily and weekly maintenance to
operate appropriately. Refer to daily and weekly clean-
ing procedures.
17. NEVER use detergents, gasoline, glass cleaner, furniture
polish, paint thinner, or other household solvents to clean
any part of the humidifier.
18. Excessive humidity in a room can cause water condensa-
tion on windows and some furniture. If this happens, turn
the humidifier OFF.
19. 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 FamilyCare ® , to measure
the humidity.
20. DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust any electrical or
mechanical functions on this unit. Doing so will void your
warranty. The inside of the unit contains no user service-
able parts. All servicing should be performed by qualified
personnel only.
21. Never place housing under water flow or immerse in
liquids.
22. Do not plug in the cord with wet hands: electric shock
could result.
23. Do not place under overhanging surfaces.

humidity and additional moisture may cause damage.
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 exten-
sion 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.

PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Be sure the Power Knob is in the OFF (
O
) position and the unit is
disconnected from the wall outlet.
2. Remove the water tank by the carry handle, then remove the tank
cap and fill the water tank with cool, fresh tap water.
3. Replace the cap by turning it clockwise and tightening firmly. Line up
the arrow on the bottom of the tank with the arrow on the cap.
Double check that no water is coming from the tank cap or around
the seal of the tank.
4. Place the water tank on the base.
5. Plug power cord into the electrical outlet.
IMPORTANT: To reduce the emission of minerals, it is
recommended that the Water Purification Filter
(Model Microban
®
UH325) be purchased.
USING A WATER PURIFICATION FILTER
The Water Purification Filter (UH325) is used to retain minerals in
your water and provide a clean moisture output. The filter life is
determined by the average daily use of your humidifier and the water
hardness in your area. Areas with hard water will require more
frequent replacement of the filter. It is strongly recommended that
the filter be replaced every 1-2 months (depending on use), or when
white dust is emitted from the unit.
Please refer to the enclosed Humidifier Accessory Card included with
your humidifier. It is recommended that you order your replacement
filter at once so you will have a fresh filter available when necessary
.
TO USE A FILTER:
1. Turn the Power Knob OFF ( O ) and unplug the humidifier.
Remove the tank, drain any water from the base.
2. Remove the protective bag from the new filter and install the filter
into the base (see fig. 2). Replace the tank, and plug the cord into
the electric outlet. When installing the filter for the first time,
wait 15 minutes for the water to flow through the filter before
switching the unit ON.
You can obtain a Water Purification Filter (UH325)
through your local retailer or by
calling 1-800-546-5637
.
4. Re-install the Water Purification Filter (if being used) and replace
the tank on the base.
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
A. To Remove Scale
1. Repeat step 1-3 above.
2. Partially fill the base with Holmes Cleanse Clean™ model S-1710
(available by calling 1-800-546-5637) as instructed on bottle,
or with one 8 oz. cup of undiluted white vinegar. Let solution stand
20 minutes, cleaning all interior surfaces with a soft brush.
Gently scrub the area around the transducer with a soft brush.
Be careful not to damage the sensor probe. Wipe the surfaces of
the filter with the same cleaning solution.
3. Dampen a cloth with undiluted white vinegar and wipe out entire
base to remove scale.
4. Rinse with clean warm water to remove the cleaning solution before
beginning to disinfect the tank.
B. TO DISINFECT TANK
Do in area that will not be damaged by bleach.
1. Fill tank with 1/2 teaspoon of chlorine bleach and 1/2 gallon
of water.
2. Let the solution stand for 20 minutes, swishing every few minutes.
Wet all surfaces.
3. Empty the tank after 20 minutes, and rinse well with water until the
bleach smell is gone. Dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.
5. Re-install the Water Purification Filter (if being used) into the base.
6. Refill the water tank, place onto the base, plug in, and turn the
power ON.
USING THE MIST VOLUME CONTROL
Turn the mist volume knob clockwise as far as it will turn to achieve
the highest mist setting. In this setting, the humidifier will run
constantly, and produce the greatest amount of moisture.
To lower your desired mist level, simply turn the knob
counterclockwise to choose your setting.
Depending on the size of your room and your personal comfort, you
will set your mist volume control at different levels. If condensation
forms on your windows or walls, or your measured room humidity
reads above 50% by use of a hygrometer, turn off your humidifier,
or lower your mist volume control level.
