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).

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. DO
NOT place hands, face or body directly over or near

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

so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where
it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.
HOW WARM MIST WORKS
Your
Sunbeam
®
Warm Mist humidifier is designed to allow
the proper amount of water to flow out of the tank. Air is
drawn in through the grill openings located in the back of the
unit and mixed with steam in the misting chamber. The warm
mist is then dispersed out of the top of the misting chamber
through the outlet grill and into the room.
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 off.
2. Select a location for your humidifier, on a flat level
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. Remove the tank from the main housing.
4.
This humidifier holds about 0.9 gallons of water in
the tank and humidifier base. The humidifier will
produce up to 2.5 gallons of water over a 24-hour
time period.
5. Make sure the safety lock is rotated completely to the
locked position. Place tank back on to the base. The tank
will immediately begin to empty into the base.
6. Plug the humidifier into a 120V electrical outlet.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. To turn the unit on, switch the knob to the High (2)
position. High will produce the maximum moisture and
Low will produce the longest run time and quieter
performance. The power light ( ) will be on. It is
normal for the humidifier to take 10 minutes to boil the
water and begin to mist.
2. To turn the unit to low, switch the knob to the LOW (1)
position. To turn the unit off, switch the knob to Off ( ).
3. The Medicine cup is located on the top of the mist
chamber. To use, pour designated humidifier medication
into the cup. DO NOT add medication to the water tank.
DO NOT add medication to the medicine cup when the
unit is already operating.

does not begin to produce moisture within a few minutes,
then repeat Steps 1-5.
IMPORTANT: If you do not plan to use the humidifier for
two or more days, make sure any residual water is drained

growth.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
The following maintenance procedures must be
routinely followed in order to ensure proper,
efficient operation of your humidifier. The unit WILL
NOT WORK CORRECTLY if it is not cleaned properly.
When the unit is in use, daily and weekly maintenance is
recommended. Regular weekly cleaning prevents scale
buildup on the heating element and base. It also prevents
micro-organisms from growing on the base. This ensures that
maximum efficiency will be achieved.
We cannot over-emphasize how essential proper
cleaning is to the maintenance and continued use of
your unit and to the avoidance of algae or bacteria
build-up.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
Allow to cool before maintenance.
1. Before cleaning, set the control to OFF (
) position and
unplug the unit from the electrical outlet.
2. Remove the water tank then unlock the misting chamber
by rotating the safety lock towards the front of the unit.
Lift mist chamber from the unit’s base.
3. Empty water and minerals from the base and place in
the top rack of the dishwasher. This will remove any
sediment and dirt that has accumulated in the base.
NOTE: It is imperative that the base is cleaned properly. The
base is dishwasher safe (top rack ONLY) for easy cleaning.
4. Wipe the heating element clean with a soft cloth after it
has had a chance to cool.
5. Replace misting chamber and engage safety lock. The
Electronic Thermal Control Heating element is lined with
a coating that is designed to provide the easiest cleaning
and prolong the operating efficiency of the humidifier.
DO NOT use any metal or hard objects to clean the
Heating Element. Never use detergents, gasoline,
kerosene, glass cleaner, furniture polish, paint thinner or
other household solvents to clean any part of the
humidifier.
