RESET Button (“RESTART”) - This control resets the humidifier after it has shut down due to an empty water tank or after

it has been cleaned. The “RESTART” button needs to be pressed after each filling/ cleaning. The “EMPTY/CLEAN” light will remain illuminated after refilling until the “RESTART” button is pressed.

1.Place your humidifier in the desired location. A hard, level, waterproof surface is necessary for proper operation. Do not place your humidifier on any surface that could be damaged by water droplets.

2.Check that the Automatic Humidistat control is in the “OFF” position.

3.Remove the water tank and fill it with water as directed under the heading “Filling the Water Tank.” Make sure that the removable tray is in place and the misting chamber is latched. Place the water tank back in the unit and allow one minute for the water to fill the tray.

4.Plug the power supply cord into the most convenient 120V AC wall outlet.

5.Turn your humidifier on by rotating the Automatic Humidistat control to your desired comfort level. For details, see the section titled “Setting the Automatic Humidistat Control.”

6.When all the water in the tank has been used, the “EMPTY/CLEAN” light will illuminate. After refilling the tank, it is necessary to press the “RESTART” button to reactivate the humidifier; this will also extinguish the “EMPTY/CLEAN” light.

Note: Allowing your humidifier to run out of water before filling the tank helps to self-clean the heating element.

SETTING THE AUTOMATIC HUMIDISTAT CONTROL

Adjust the Automatic Humidistat control as desired. The unit has been designed to operate within a range of approximately 20% to 80% R.H. (Relative Humidity). The most favorable setting for home or office environments is 40% to 45% R.H.

To monitor the actual humidity level in a room, we recommend the use of a humidity meter such as the Bionaire® BT400 or BT254 Digital Humidity and Temperature Monitor.

The Automatic Humidistat works in the following manner:

•Whenever the humidity in the room is less than the level you have set, moist air is dispersed from the outlet grill.
