IMPORTANT SAFETY 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 120V AC electrical outlet.

3. Keep the cord out of heavy traffic areas. To avoid
fire hazard, NEVER put the cord under rugs or near
heat registers.

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 inches (10 cm)
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 its electrical
outlet. Failure to heed this warning may cause
personal injury. Be sure to unplug the unit by pulling
on 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
manufacturer 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 use
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
wall paper.

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 appropriately. Refer to daily
and weekly cleaning procedures. Use only cleaners
and additives recommended by the manufacturer.

17. NEVER use detergents, gasoline, glass cleaner,
furniture polish, paint thinner, or other household
solvents to clean any part of the humidifier.

18. Excessive humidity in a room can cause water
condensation on windows and some furniture. If this
happens, turn the humidifier OFF.

19. Do not use humidifier in an area where humidity
level is in excess of 50%. Use a hygrometer,
available at your local retailer or through the
manufacturer, 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.

THIS APPLIANCE HAS A POLARIZED PLUG (one blade is wider than the
other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install the proper outlet.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MODIFY THIS PLUG OR DEFEAT THIS

SAFETY FEATURE IN ANY WAY.

FEATURES - OPERATIONS

water tank.

24. To prevent damage to surfaces, do not place
humidifier under overhanging surfaces.

25. NEVER operate unit without water in the tank.

26. Do not move unit after it has been used until unit
cools completely.

THESE IMPORTANT

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.

NOTE: 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 (refer to the rating
information placed on 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.

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 uncomfortable. The recommended humidity level is
between 40%-50%.

PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Be sure the humidifier is switched to OFF ( ) and
the unit is disconnected from the electrical outlet.

2. Select a location for your humidifier, on a flat
surface, about 4 inches (10 cm) away from the wall.
DO NOT place the humidifier on a finished floor or
near furniture, which can be damaged by too much
moisture or water. Place on a moisture resistant surface.

3. Select current month (1-12) on the Filter Reminder
Dial (see figure 1). The digits 1-12 represent the
corresponding month from January to December. For
example, if the current month is January, scroll to
select 1. This will serve as reference for when filter
replacement is needed.

HOW COOL MIST WORKS

Your SunbeamTM 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.
