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. 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 the manu-

facturer under the warranty agreement for repair.

5. 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 fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, con­tact a qualified electrician.

DO NOT attempt to defeat this safety feature.

6. 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.

7. 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.

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

9. Never tilt or attempt to move the humidifier while it is operating or filled with
water.

UNPLUG the humidifier before moving.

10. 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.

11. Turn the humidifier OFF if the relative humidity exceeds 60%, or 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 Honeywell. (See CARE PRODUCTS).

12. DO NOT touch the steam vapor. Steam can cause burns.

13. DO NOT block the Mist Grille.

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing a Honeywell Warm Moisture
Humidifier. If you would like more information on our full line of
products, visit our website at: www.honeywell.com/yourhome.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Water passes into the Power Unit where it is heated and purified. The Warm
Moisture system then pulls the air through the top vent and spreads

invisible

moisture-balanced air into the room.

• Remove the water tank by grasping the handle and

pulling straight up. Set aside (Fig. 1).

• Turn the Water Tank upside down so that the Fill Cap

is facing up; unscrew the Fill Cap by turning it
counter-clockwise and set aside.

•

Fill the Water Tank with COOL tap water (Fig. 2).
Distilled water is not necessary as the water is purified
by the heating element.

DO NOT USE HOT WATER.

Doing so may damage the humidifier.

• 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.

• Turn the Water Tank right side up.

• Position the Water Tank into the humidifier and push

it into place (Fig. 3).

• Some water will flow into the Removable Tray when

the filled tank is properly in place.

• 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.

CAUTION: DO NOT POUR WATER INTO THE GRILLE ON
TOP OF THE HUMIDIFIER (Fig. 3). DOING SO MAY DAM­AGE THE HUMIDIFIER OR CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.

SET UP

NOTE: We recommend that the humidifier be disinfected prior to first use. Please

see WEEKLY CLEANING instructions.

• Select a firm, level, flat location - at least six inches (15 cm) from any wall for

proper air flow (Fig. 1). Place the humidifier on a water-resistant surface, as
water can damage furniture and some flooring.
