PLEASE READ AND SAVE THESE 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 V 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. Be sure to pull the
plug and not the cord.
7. Never place anything over moisture outlet when the unit
is running.
8. NEVER drop or insert any object into any openings.
9. 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.
10. 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 The Holmes Group, Inc.
may cause hazards.
11. DO NOT use outdoors.
12. 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.
13. DO NOT allow the Moisture Outlet to directly face the wall.
Moisture could cause damage, particularly to wallpaper.
14. Humidifier should be unplugged when not in use.
15. NEVER tilt, move, or attempt to empty unit while it is operating.
Shut off and unplug before removing the water tank and
moving the unit.
16. This humidifier requires daily and weekly maintenance to
operate properly. Refer to the Cleaning and Maintenance
Instructions section in this manual.
17. Never use detergents, gasoline, glass cleaner, furniture polish,
paint thinner, or other household solvents to clean any part of the
humidifier. Use only Holmes
®
care products recommended in this
manual.
18. DO NOT use humidifier in an area where the humidity level
exceeds 50%; excessive moisture could cause damage. If the unit
does not feature a hygrometer (a device used to measure the
humidity level), one may be purchased by calling
1-800-5-HOLMES or visit www.holmesproducts.com.
19. Do not use humidifier in an area where humidity level is in excess
of 50%. Use the included hygrometer, or purchase
one at your local hardware store or through Holmes, to
measure the humidity.
20. 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.
21. Never place housing under water flow or immerse in liquids.
22. Do not plug in the cord with wet hands: electric shock could result.
23. Do not pour water in any openings other than the water tank.
24. To prevent damage to surfaces, do not place humidifier under
overhanging surfaces.

Consumer Safety Information
Note: This is an electrical appliance and requires attention when
in use.
Note: If moisture forms on the walls or windows of the room, turn off
the humidifier. The room already has plenty of humidity and additional moisture may cause damage.
Do not block air inlet or outlet.
Cord and Plug Installation Safety Instructions
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.
THIS PRODUCT IS EQUIPPED WITH A POLARIZED AC
(Alternating Current)PLUG (a plug having one blade wider
than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact qualified
personnel to install the proper outlet.
DO NOT DEFEAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE OF THIS
POLARIZED PLUG IN ANY WAY.

HOW COOL MIST WORKS
Your Holmes Cool Mist humidifier draws dry air through the rear air
intake grill area. This air is then passed through a moisture-laden
wick filter, which retains the minerals and deposits in the water.
The resulting moist air is directed back into the room from the top
air grill.
NOTE: This humidification system provides a cool, invisible moisture
output. It is normal not to see the mist.
NOTE: A humidity level below 20% can be unhealthy and uncomfort-
able. The recommended humidity level is between 40%-50%.
