WEEKLY CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE ADVISORY
At least weekly cleaning is recommended, when the unit has been in use.
Regular cleaning prevents mineral scale buildup in the hot water reservoir. It
also helps prevent buildup of bacteria, molds or other micro-organisms in the
tank or system. This ensures that your humidifi er will operate at maximum
effi
ciency. (See page 6 for full cleaning instructions.)
HOW YOUR HONEYWELL
WARM MIST
HUMIDIFIER WORKS
This model humidifi er uses a two-step
approach to eliminate potentially
harmful microorganisms from the
water before they are spread with the
mist into the air. The fi rst step uses
a UV bulb, located inside the base
of the humidifi er, that shines on the
water through a special glass tube as
it passes from the cold water reservoir
to the hot water reservoir. The second
step is the boiling action that takes
place in the hot water reservoir just
before the mist is distributed by fan to
the air in the room.
CONTROL PANEL
ON-OFF SWITCH (I/O)
When the switch is turned to
the “ON” (
I
) setting and the
unit is plugged in, the power
is on.
REPLACE UV BULB
If the “REPLACE UV BULB” signal light is illuminated during normal use, the bulb must
be replaced with the same special 3.5W bulb. See the enclosed order form. The UV
bulb will operate at maximum output for approximately 2,000 hours. The UV bulb may
operate longer than 2,000 hours but at a reduced output. To keep your humidifi er
operating at maximum effi
ciency it is recommended that the UV bulb be replaced
after 2,000 hours of use.
