IMPORTANT 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. Locate your humidifier on an inside wall near an electrical outlet. The humidifier should be at least 4’’ 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.

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
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 DEFEAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE OF THIS POLARIZED PLUG IN ANY WAY
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. 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.
SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
1.Select a location for your humidifier, on a flat, level surface about 4 Inch 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.
2.Remove the tank from the main housing.
3.Bring the tank to the sink, turn 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 tank
FIRMLY.
4.Carefully bring the filled tank over to the humidifier,
holding it level to avoid sloshing or spilling of water.
5.Carefully place tank back onto the base to prevent water from spilling. 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, press the Bionaire logo power button in front of the unit so that it illuminates.
2.When the humidifier runs out of water, the transducer will automatically shut off and the fan will keep running to dry any residual water out of the base and chamber.
3.Once the tank is empty, press the power button to turn the unit off and unplug the unit.
4.Before refilling the tank, empty or sponge up any residual water from the base and tank. Follow daily maintenance instructions.
5.Fill tank with cool, fresh tap water. DO NOT fill with warm water as this may cause leaking. Replace the cap on tank FIRMLY.
6.Carefully place the tank onto the base. The tank will immediately begin to empty into the base.
7.Plug the humidifier into a 120V electrical outlet.
WARNING: DO NOT move the humidifier while it is operating with water in the tank or in the humidifier base. The moving action of the water may activate the water tank’s release nozzle and overfill the transducer cavity. This may cause the humidifier to function intermittently, or stop emitting mist. Should this occur, turn off and unplug the unit, then remove the excess water from the humidifier base.
IMPORTANT: If you do not plan to use your humidifier for two or more days, make sure any residual water is drained

How Does The RevolutionTM Ultrasonic Humidifier Work?
1.Water from the tank is dispersed into the base reservoir where a transducer vibrates the water at ultrasonic speed (1.7 million times per second).
2.The transducer breaks the water into mist and sends it into the RevolutionTM humidifier's front chamber. A vortex air flow propels the smaller finer mist particles up and disperses the fine vapor into the air through the top of the grill, while the denser larger water molecules fall back into the base.
3.The resulting mist emitted from the RevolutionTM is much finer and lighter than from typical ultrasonic humidifiers. The benefit is faster evaporation and faster humidity room coverage.
NOTE: Do not let water sit in tank for extended periods. This can encourage bacterial growth.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Humidifiers provide comfort by adding moisture to dry,
heated indoor air. To benefit most from the humidifier and avoid product misuse, follow all instructions carefully. Please note that this is an electrical appliance and requires attention when in use.
In addition, if you do not follow the recommended care and maintenance guidelines, micro-organisms may be able to grow in the water within the humidifier's tank and become airborne. You must routinely follow the cleaning and maintenance procedures in order to ensure proper, efficient operation of your humidifier. Proper maintenance and cleaning is essential to the continued performance of your unit and the avoidance of algae or bacteria build-up.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
1.Be sure the unit is OFF by pressing the power button so that it no longer illuminates. Unplug the unit from the electrical outlet.
2.Remove the tank from the humidifier and carefully bring to a sink or tub. Hold the base of unit level as you carry it to prevent excess water from sloshing or spilling.
Place in sink or tub.
3.Drain or sponge up any remaining water and rinse thoroughly to remove any sediment or dirt. Wipe clean and dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.
4.Refill with cool tap water. Do not overfill.
