READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
USING THIS HUMIDIFIER AND SAVE
THESE IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
FOR EASY REFERENCE.

WHEN USING ANY ELECTRICAL APPLI­ANCE, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
SHOULD BE FOLLOWED INCLUDING:

1.

Always place the humidifier on a firm,
flat and level surface. It may not work
properly on an uneven surface.

2. Place the 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 con-

nect 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 an
hygrometer which is available in many
hardware and department stores, or
by ordering one from Duracraft (see
Replacement Parts and Care Products).

This humidifier was designed to produce
an output of 4 gallons (15.1 litres) over a
period of 24 hours; it will cover an area
of 1,765 sq. ft. (164 m

2

) — a room or

area approximately 35' x 50' (10.7m x

15.2m)*.
*Area covered and running time depend

on quality of construction and insulation.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Thank you for purchasing the
DURACRAFT

®

MODEL DH-831

Natural Cool Moisture

™

HUMIDIFIER

with removable water tank.
Before using your humidifier, we

would like to explain the benefits of
maintaining your home or office at
the proper humidity level.

HEALTH

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.

ENVIRONMENT

Maintaining the proper moisture level in
your home or office with your Duracraft

®

Natural 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.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

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.

Duracraft's

®

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 adjusts the output
for maximum comfort and helps prevent
condensation.

INTRODUCTION

• Select a firm, level, flat
location — at least six
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.

We recommend that the
humidifier be disinfected
prior to first use. Please
see CLEANING instruc­tions.

• Remove the Water Tank
by grasping handle and
pulling straight up. Set
aside (Fig. 1).

• Remove the Upper Motor
Housing from the Reservoir
Base, being careful not to
let the power cord drop
into the base (Fig. 2).

• Remove the Natural
Cool Moisture

™

filter from
its frame in the Reservoir
Base (Fig. 3). Run it under
cold water; this will help
reduce residue build-up.
Turn the filter upside down
before repositioning it in
its frame. Replace in the
humidifier. To help extend
the life of your filter,
repeat this step every time
you fill your humidifier.

• Turn the Water Tank
upside-down so that
the fill cap is facing up;
unscrew the fill cap by
turning it counter-clock­wise.

• Fill the tank with
COOL tap water (Fig. 4).
Distilled water is not nec­essary as the water is fil­tered by the Natural Cool
Moisture

™

filter. DO NOT

USE HOT WATER.

• Replace the fill
cap by turning it
clockwise. DO NOT
OVER TIGHTEN.

NOTE: WHEN CARRYING
THE FILLED WATER TANK,
PLEASE USE THE HANDLE
AND PLACE YOUR OTHER
HAND UNDER THE
TANK FOR ADDITIONAL
SUPPORT.
