IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS HUMIDIFIER

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:

1.Always place this humidifier on a firm, flat and level surface. This humidifier may not work properly on an uneven 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.Do not use the humidifier outdoors.

5.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 the manufacturer under the warranty agreement for repair.

6.This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of shock, this plug is intended to fit only one way in a polarized outlet. If the plug does not fit securely in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt to defeat this safety feature.

7.To disconnect the humidifier, first turn controls to the OFF position, then grip the plug and pull it from the wall outlet. Never pull by the cord.

8.A loose fit between the AC outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause overheating and a distortion of the plug. Contact a qualified electrician to replace loose or worn outlet.

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

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

11.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.

12.Do not direct moisture flow directly at individuals, walls or furniture.

13.When a humidifier is used in a closed room or small rooms, check periodically for proper ventilation, as excessive humidity can cause condensation stains on walls.

14.Turn the humidifier OFF if you notice moisture on the inside of your windows. For proper humidity reading use a hygrometer, which is available in many hardware and department stores, or by ordering one from the manufacturer.

The sealed UV bulbs contain a small amount of mercury. Dispose of these items at household hazardous waste collection sites only. If the UV bulb breaks, do not vacuum or handle with your bare hands.

HOW IT WORKS

	HCM-300T	HCM-310T / HCM-315T

Quiet Care Technology –
Dry air is pulled through the humidifier and the
QuietCare™ fan blows out invisible, moisture-
balanced air. Unwanted minerals and bacteria
from the water are trapped inside the filter. When
the unit is running you WILL NOT see or feel a
“mist.” You will know your humidifier is putting
moisture into the air as the water level decreases
in the tank throughout the day.

Protec™ Antimicrobial Treated Filter –
Your filter has been treated with Protec™
antimicrobial which helps prevent surface growth
and migration of mold, mildew, algae, fungus and
odor-causing bacteria in the filter for its life –
approximately 1-3 months*. Keep in mind,
depending on your water quality, mineral deposits
can still clog or discolor the filter, affecting its life
and that of the humidifier.

Air Washing Technology –
Unique air washing system which helps “wash the
air as it humidifies.” The unique pre-filter in
combination with an ionizer helps capture dust,
dirt, and pollen while freshening the air**.

UV Water Sanitizing Technology –
The UV germicidal bulb located inside the main
housing of the humidifier shines on the water
passing through the chamber. This technology
reduces the likelihood of harmful
microorganisms***.

**The antimicrobial agent contained in the filter is intended to prolong filter life only by inhibiting the growth of unsightly mold, mildew and algae, as well as controlling odor from odor causing bacteria. The antimicrobial in the filter does not protect the user or others against bacteria, germs, viruses or other disease causing organisms. Always follow manufacturer’s instructions regarding cleaning, maintenance and service of your humidifier.

**From the air that passes through the pre-filter. Also note the pre-filter may slightly decrease humidity output.

***Based on independent testing, report 3095045-01. Results are based on microbial reduction rate testing performed using tap water in the water tray. The following listed microorganism growth reduction was maintained after 2 hours of continuous exposure to the ultraviolet light in the humidifier.

Bacteria: Escheria Coli - 99% Pseudomonas fluorescens - 99%

Mold: Aspergillus niger - 99% Fungus: Penecillium pinophilum - 99% Virus: MS2 - 99%
