HOW YOUR WARM MIST HUMIDIFIER WORKS

Your Bionaire™ Warm Mist Humidifier is designed to allow the proper amount of water to flow out of the tank and into the Heating Chamber where the Electronic Thermal Control Heating Element warms the water. 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 (See Figs. 1 - 4)

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 10cm (4") away from the wall. DO NOT place the Humidifier on a finished floor on or near furniture which can be damaged by moisture or water. Place on a moisture-resistant surface.

Filling the Water Tank

NOTE: This humidifier holds about 5.6 litres of water in the tank and humidifier base. The humidifier will produce up to 11.5 litres of moisture over a 24-hour period, depending on the room humidity and temperature.

1.If not already removed, remove the Tank from the base of the Humidifier and take it to the cold water tap. Turn the Tank upside down and twist off the Tank Cap by turning counter clockwise. Fill Tank with cool, fresh tap water. DO NOT fill with warm water as this may cause leaking. Replace the Cap on the Tank FIRMLY but do not overtighten.

2.When full, carry Tank to the Humidifier and place onto the Base. The water will

immediately begin to flow into Base.

3.Plug the power cord into a convenient 220/ 240V AC electrical outlet.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (See Figs. 1 - 4)

Your Humidifier is equipped with a technologically advanced AccuSet Plus™ Digital Humidistat. You can set the Humidifier to run continuously in manual mode or set the AccuSet Plus™ Digital Humidistat to your desired humidity setting. The AccuSet Plus™ Digital Humidistat will automatically turn the humidifier ON or OFF, depending on the preset comfort level. The comfort level ranges from 30% to 65% relative humidity.

MANUAL MODE

NOTE: After starting the unit from cold, it will take 5–10 minutes before any noticeable steam is emitted from the Outlet Grill.
