READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS HUMIDIFIER. SAVE THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR EASY REFERENCE.
WHEN USING ANY ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE FOLLOWED INCLUDING:
1.This humidifier may not work properly on an uneven surface. Always place this humidifier on a firm, flat and level surface.
2.Place this humidifier in an area where it is not accessible to children.
3.Do not place the humidifier near any heat sources such as stoves, radiators and heaters.
4.Before using the humidifier, check the power cord for any signs of damage.
If the cord is found to be damaged, DO NOT USE and return the humidifier to Duracraft under the warranty agreement for repair.
5.This product is equipped with a polarized AC-line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. NEVER connect the humidifier to any
power source other than a 120V AC polarized outlet. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. DO NOT defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
6.The humidifier should always be unplugged and emptied when not in operation or while being serviced or cleaned.
7.Never tilt or attempt to move the humidifier while it is operating or filled with water. UNPLUG the humidifier before moving.
8.This humidifier requires regular cleaning. Refer to the CLEANING instructions provided. Never clean the humidifier in any manner other than as instructed in this manual.
9.Turn the humidifier OFF if the relative humidity exceeds 60%, or if you notice moisture on the inside of your windows. For proper humidity readings use a hygrometer which is available in many hardware and department stores, or
by ordering one from Duracraft (see Replacement Parts and Care Products).

Thank you for purchasing a DURACRAFT® NATURAL COOL MOISTURE™ WHOLE HOUSE CONSOLE HUMIDIFIER with humidistat.
Before using your humidifier, we would like to explain the benefits of maintaining your home or office at the proper humidity level.
H E A L T H
Your body needs moisture to stay healthy and comfortable. Dry air can be damaging and irritating. The Duracraft® Natural Cool Moisture™ Humidifier can help relieve:
•Dry, itchy skin and chapped lips.
•Cold symptoms and congestion.
•Dry, scratchy throat and coughs.
For serious medical conditions, always consult your physician prior to use.
E N V I R O N M E N T
Maintaining the proper moisture level in your home or office with your Duracraft® Natural Cool Moisture™ Humidifier will also:
•Replace needed moisture in furniture.
•Keep indoor plants moist and healthy.
•Eliminate cracking and dryness in wood furniture and fixtures.
•Minimize static electricity.
H O W D O E S I T W O R K ?
Dry air is pulled through the Natural Cool Moisture™ system and a quiet fan disperses invisible, moisture-balanced air. Unwanted minerals and bacteria from the water are trapped inside the Natural Cool Moisture™ filter. There is no "mist" or excessive condensation emitted.
The Duracraft® exclusive Automatic Moisture Balance System™ increases moisture output when the air is dry and lowers the moisture output when the humidity level is high. This automatically helps to adjust the output for maximum comfort and helps prevent condensation.
S E T U P
• Take the humidifier out of its carton. With the vented side away from you, remove the Top Grill and the water tank below it from the right side (Figure 1). Remove the power unit from the left side and lift out the Natural Cool Moisture™ filter assembly and filters. Then remove any additional packing material and the hardware packet containing the four swivel casters and screws.
Fig. 1
•To install the swivel casters, turn the base upside down and align the casters with the four mounting squares on the bottom of the base. Secure the four casters to the base using the holding screws provided (Figure 2).
•Return the base to its original upright position.

•Reposition the Natural Cool Moisture™ filter assembly with the arrows facing front. Insert the three Natural Cool Moisture™ filters into the assembly with the drainage on the bottom.
•Select a firm, level, flat location —at least 6 inches (15 cm) from any wall for proper air flow and convenient to an electrical outlet.
•Place the humidifier on a water-resistant surface, as water can damage furniture and some flooring.
Duracraft will not accept responsibility for property damage caused by water spillage.
F I L L I N G
We recommend that the humidifier be disinfected prior to first use. Please see CLEANING instructions.
•Remove the power unit on the left side of the unit.
•Remove the Top Grill and the water tank below it from the right side of the unit (Figure 1).
•To reduce residue buildup, remove the Natural Cool Moisture™ filters before filling the humidifier. Run them under cold water. Turn the filters upside down before repositioning them in the reservoir base. To help extend the life of your filters, repeat this step every time you fill your humidifier.
•Turn the water tank upside down and remove the fill cap by turning counter-clockwise. If the water tank will not fit under a faucet for direct filling, use the Fill Hose. Fit the funnel end of the hose over the faucet and place the small end into the water tank (Figure 3).
