HUMIDIFIER SAFETY  
PLEASE READ AND SAVE  
THESE IMPORTANT  
SAFEGUARDS.  
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, near heat  
registers, radiator, stoves, or humidifier.  
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 its electrical outlet. Failure to  
heed this warning may cause personal injury. Be sure  
to pull by the plug and not the cord.  
7. NEVER drop or insert any object into any openings.  
DO NOT place hands, face, or body directly over or near  
Moisture Outlet while unit is in operation. DO NOT cover  
Moisture Outlet or place anything over it while the unit  
is operating.  
8. 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.  
9. Use appliance only for intended household use as  
described in this manual. Any other use not recommended  
by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock,  
or injury to persons. The use of attachments not

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 which 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 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 resulting sterile and mineral-free warm, moist air will  
rapidly increase the moisture level in a room to a comfortable  
level.  
The unit is conveniently refilled with water by taking only the  
removable water tank to a water tap. The automatic shut-off  
valve allows the tank to be lifted out and removed without  
any water spillage.  
A suitable medication can be placed in the medication cup  
and warmed.  
POWER Light - When illuminated, indicates that the power is on.

LOW WATER INDICATOR Light ("EMPTY") - When illuminated,  
indicates that the water tank needs refilling and/or that the  
tray and heating element need cleaning. See the "Cleaning  
and Maintenance" section for more information.  
HUMIDITY Control - This control is used to turn your unit on  
or off and to set humidifying mist output to low or high levels.  
RESTART Button - This control restarts 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” light will remain illuminated  
after refilling until the “RESTART” button is pressed.  
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
1. Place your Warm Moisture humidifier in the desired  
location. A hard, level, water-resistant surface is  
necessary for proper operation.  
2. 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.  
3. Plug the power supply cord into the most convenient  
120V AC wall outlet.  
4. Turn your humidifier on by sliding the Humidity Control to  
the "LO" or "HI" position. The green "ON" light will illuminate  
at this time. It may take up to 5 minutes before full mist  
output is obtained.  
5. When all the water in the tank has been used, the “EMPTY”  
light will illuminate. After refilling the tank, it is necessary  
to press the “RESTART” button to reactivate the humidifier;  
this will also extinguish the refill light.  
Note: Allowing your humidifier to run out of water before  
filling the tank helps to self-clean the heating element.  
SETTING THE HUMIDITY CONTROL  
Choose the desired humidifying output by adjusting the  
Humidity Control to "HI" or "LO". In a very dry room, the "HI"  
setting may be used to rapidly establish a comfortable level  
of humidity. Once the room is comfortable, you may set the  
control to the intensity level appropriate to the size of the  
room. If moisture forms on the walls or windows, lower the  
setting or turn off the humidifier. Please note that when the  
"LO" setting is used, there is still out put even though the  
"mist" may not be visible.

To monitor the actual humidity level in a room, we recommend  
®
the use of a humidity meter such as the BIONAIRE Digital  
Humidity and Temperature Monitor BT400 or BT254, which  
can be purchased by calling our Consumer Service Dept.  
at 1-800-253-2764.  
Figure 3  
FILLING THE WATER TANK  
When the water tank is empty, the “EMPTY”  
light will illuminate and no moist air will be  
produced until the water tank is refilled.  
1. Switch the humidifier off.  
2. Lift out the tank and carry it to a water tap.  
3. Twist the tank cap counter-clockwise approximately  
1/4 turn. The cap should now lift away.  
4. Fill the tank with cool tap water.  
5. Replace the tank cap, making sure the large O-ring is  
in its correct position. Occasionally apply a thin coat of  
petroleum jelly to the O-ring to ensure easy removal of  
the tank cap.  
6. Carry the full tank with both hands and carefully replace it  
into your humidifier. Wait a few minutes for the tray to refill.  
7. Turn the unit back on.  
8. Press the “RESTART” button. The “EMPTY” light should  
extinguish and moist air will be emitted within a few minutes.  
Note: At "HI" setting, the tank may last up to 28 hours.  
At "LO" setting, a full tank may last up to 56 hours.  
WARNING: All cleaning agents must be thoroughly rinsed  
away after use and before the unit is returned to service.  
USING THE MEDICATION CUP  
A medicated vapor can be distributed with the "mist" output.  
To add medication to the vapor:  
1. Switch humidifier off and allow removable  
cover - outlet grill to cool down.  
Figure 4  
2. Lift the removable cover off (Figure 4)  
to access the medication cup.  
3. Remove the medication cup  
from the misting chamber.  
4. Carefully add liquid medication;  
do not fill cup more than half full.  
5. Carefully place the medication cup

into the top of the misting chamber.  
6. Replace the removable cover back on to the unit.  
7. Switch unit on and press RESTART BUTTON if power  
light does not illuminate.  
8. After use, remove the cup from the unit and clean  
any residue from the cup with warm water.  
Note: Do not add medication while the unit is in operation.  
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE  
Before cleaning, please note the following:  
• DO NOT use soap, detergents, abrasives, gasoline, glass  
or furniture polish, or boiling water to clean any part of your  
humidifier. These will interfere with the proper operation of  
your humidifier.  
• DO NOT use sharp or metal objects to clean mineral  
deposits in the tray or element. Contact with sharp objects  
can result in damage to the plastic and the element.  
• We recommend that the tray be rinsed daily and that the  
unit be allowed to run out of water every second day.  
• Mineral deposits should be soaked in BIONAIRE’s  
®
Clean-Away solution or plain vinegar. DO NOT operate  
unit while it is soaking!  
• DO NOT clean any part of your humidifier in the dish washer.  
®
• NEVER mix bleach and Clean-Away solution!

All traces of Clean-Away® on both the element and the tray  
must be thoroughly rinsed off before disinfecting. Inspect  
the heating element (see Figure 8) for scale buildup. If  
present, please see "Special Maintenance - Heating  
Element" for further cleaning instructions.  
DO NOT ALLOW WATER TO ENTER THE AIR OUTLET  
GRILL OR ANY OTHER OPENINGS.  
5. Disinfect the water tank and  
Figure 6  
tray using a solution of one  
teaspoon of chlorine bleach  
in 1 gallon of water. Let  
solution soak for 20 minutes,  
swishing every few minutes  
to wet all surfaces. Empty  
the tank and tray; rinse  
Heating Element  
thoroughly until bleach smell is gone. Replace the tray  
in the base (Figure 7), then replace the misting chamber  
in the unit, making sure that the latch has been locked  
in position. Fill the tank with fresh water and replace it  
into the unit.  
6. Resume normal use.  
SPECIAL MAINTENANCE HEATING ELEMENT  
Should the output drop or the "EMPTY" light illuminate with  
water remaining in the tank, it will be necessary to remove  
scale buildup on the heating element. Remove the misting  
chamber by rotating the latch and lift it from the unit’s base.  
Place the misting chamber on its side. The heating element  
will now be visible (Figure 8). Using a non-metallic brush,  
scrape away the scale buildup on the element. Follow steps  
3-6 to complete cleaning.  
Note: The above special maintenance is required due  
to water hardness.  
AFTER SEASON CARE

period of time (i.e. during the summer months), it is important  
that you follow these instructions to help prevent stagnation  
of water in the unit.  
1. Clean your humidifier as instructed in the section titled  
“Cleaning and Maintenance.”
