GETTING STARTED
Before operating, ALWAYS lift from the bottom by using the handles located on the base. Lifting the Water Tank handle on the Water Tank will
cause the tank to detach from the humidier. Before use, check appliance for visible damage. DO NOT USE if there is evidence of damage. If
any damage is found, contact Vornado Consumer Service at 1-800-234-0604.
A humidier is quite useful in supplying necessary moisture to dry air. It should be
Check for Leaks
Damage due to shipping may
cause leaks in Base or Water Tank.
A visual inspection may not reveal
hairline fractures.
1. Place humidier on a water-resistant surface.
2. Fill Water Tank with water to inspect for leaks.
3. Pour several cups of water into Base to inspect
for leaks.
Not Leaking?
Empty water from Base and install full Water Tank.
Leaking?
In the slight chance your humidier has leaks,
contact Consumer Service and we will immediately

used with proper care to prevent overhumidication.
A good rule of thumb would be to gauge the condensation or frost on
windows. Adjust your humidier to a point where this condition is at a
minimum. These adjustments should be made when major changes in
outdoor temperatures occur.
Humidiers can be placed in any living area that has a convenient location and
provides distribution of the moist air to the living area. The measured output of a
humidier is based upon continuous operation at standard rating conditions. With
normal variations of indoor and outdoor conditions, the humidistat-controlled
humidier will not run continuously at maximum output unless the controls are set to
do so.
INITIAL HUMIDITY REQUIREMENTS:
When initially installed or when placed in operation at the beginning of each season,
the humidier equipped with a humidistat may run constantly for a day or so and,
thus, evaporate large quantities of moisture. When the home and its furnishings
have absorbed moisture and become stabilized at the desired humidity level, the
amount of water used will diminish and the humidier operation will maintain the
desired humidity level.

REPLACING WICK
1. Turn humidier Off and unplug.
2. Remove Water Tank and Air Outlet
Grill by lifting up.
3. Remove and discard used Wick.
4. Install new genuine Vornado Wick by
slightly bending the Wick to match
curve of unit. Make sure Wick ts
ush against bottom and side of
humidier.
5. Replace Water Tank and Air
Outlet Grill.
Wicks contain an antimicrobial
preservative. Protection is limited to the
product. Active Substances: Cellulose
(9004-34-6) and Omadine Salts (1346341-7). Wash hands and avoid touching
eyes after handling wick.

The additional sodium in chemically softened water may cause
Wicks to harden. Try using untreated or tap water. Hard water or
water with excessive minerals, such as lime or iron, may shorten Wick
life. Try Bacteriostat or Water Treatment found at most hardware or
home specialty stores.
On rst use, the Wick may give off a mild odor. The odor is not
harmful and will go away after the rst few hours of operation. If the
odor is exceptionally strong, you can help eliminate most or all of
it by soaking the Wick in a solution of 2 teaspoons of white vinegar
and one gallon of water for 20–30 minutes. Rinse thoroughly in cool
water. Allow excess water to run off and dry before replacing in the
Base. DO NOT wring.

STORAGE
TIPS
During the off-season or after extended periods of non-use, you
may choose to store your humidier. To ensure long life of the
product, it is recommended to store your humidier by following
these instructions:
Cleaning is recommended before storage.
1. Unplug power cord and bundle loosely.
2. Let humidier dry completely before storing. Do not store with
water inside Water Tank or Base. Remove and discard Wick if it
is not suitable for reuse. Do not store humidier with wet Wick. If
Wick is suitable for future use, remove and empty water from Base
and Water Tank. Replace Water Tank, power On and select HIGH
Fan Speed. Allow humidifer to run until Wick is completely dry.

available. This will prevent humidier
from accumulating dust over time.
4. Store humidier in cool and
dry location.
Be aware of several things as your Vornado® Evaporative Whole Room
Humidier operates:
If you operate your humidier continuously (which is recommended
to maintain humidity all day), it may need to be relled with water
every day. Check the Water Tank to be certain that there is an
adequate water supply for operation.
Allow for optimum airow by keeping the grill unobstructed.
Ensure curtains and other items are far enough away from the unit
to not be pulled into the side inlets or interfere with airow.
Any additives, such as aroma fragrances or water conditioners,
must not be used. These additives can cause cracks in the plastic
of the humidier and may affect performance. Any use of such
additives voids the manufacturer’s warranty.
