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 this humidifier on a firm, flat and level surface. This humidifier may not
work properly on an uneven surface.

2.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of burns, 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 Honeywell 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 fea-

ture. 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. A loose fit between the AC outlet and plug may cause overheating of the plug. Have a
qualified electrician replace the outlet.

7. The humidifier should always be unplugged and emptied when not in operation or
while being serviced or cleaned.

8. Never tilt or attempt to move the humidifier while it is operating or filled with water.
UNPLUG the humidifier before moving.

9. 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.

10. 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
Honeywell (see Replacement Parts and Care Products-Digital Humidity Temperature
Indicator).

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing a HONEYWELL COOL MOISTURE HUMIDIFIER.

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 Honeywell Cool Moisture Humidifier may 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 Honeywell
Cool Moisture Humidifier may 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 Cool Moisture system and a quiet fan disperses invisi­ble, moisture-balanced air. There is no “mist” or excessive condensation emitted.

• Select a firm, level 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.

Honeywell will not accept responsibility for property damage

caused by water spillage.

SET-UP

FILLING

• 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).

• Lift off the motor housing. Remove the Cool Moisture filter pad from the base
before filling the unit with water (Fig. 2). Run it under cold water; this will help
reduce residue build-up. Turn the filter upside down before repositioning it in the
humidifier. Place it back in the humidifier wet.

Do not squeeze or wring out the filter. 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.

•

Fill the Water Tank with COOL tap water (Fig. 3). Distilled water is not necessary

as the water is filtered by the Cool Moisture filter.

DO NOT USE HOT WATER.

• Replace the fill cap .

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

• Turn Water Tank right-side up.

• Position Water Tank in the humidifier and push it into place.

• Some water will empty into the Reservoir Base when the filled Water Tank is

properly positioned.

• Once the filled tank has been positioned, do not attempt to move the humidifier. If
it has to be moved, unplug the humidifier and remove the Water Tank first.
