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 120 Volt 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.

7. NEVER drop or insert any object into any openings.

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 recommended
or sold by Bionaire may cause hazards.

10. DO NOT use outdoors.

11. 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.

12. DO NOT allow the air outlet grill to directly face the wall.
Moisture could cause damage, particularly to wallpaper.

13. Humidifier should be unplugged when not in use.

14. NEVER tilt, move, or attempt to empty unit while

3

it is operating. Shut off and unplug before removing
the water reservoir and moving the unit.

15. This humidifier requires daily and weekly maintenance.

Refer to daily and weekly cleaning procedures.

16. NEVER use detergents, gasoline, glass cleaner, furniture

polish, paint thinner, or other household solvents to clean
any part of the humidifier.

17. Excessive humidity in a room can cause water

condensation on windows and some furniture.
If this happens, turn the humidifier OFF.

18. Do not use humidifier in an area where humidity level is

in excess of 50%. Use the hygrometer, such as Bionaire
models BT400 or BT254, to measure the humidity.

19. 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
serviceable parts. All servicing should be performed
by qualified personnel only.

20. Never place housing under water flow or immerse in liquids.

21. Do not fill through air inlet or outlet grill.

22. Do not plug in the cord with wet hands:

electric shock could result.

23. Do not block air inlet or outlet grills.

24. Do not place blower housing or cord under water

flow, pour water over, or immerse in liquid.
