HUMIDIFIER SAFETY
PLEASE READ AND SAVE THESE IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
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, near heat registers, radiator, stoves, or heaters.
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" 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, par- ticularly 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.
7.NEVER place anything over moisture outlet when unit is running.
8.NEVER drop or insert any object into any openings.
9.DO NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, if the appliance malfunctions, or if it has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to manufacturer for examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment, or repair.
15.NEVER tilt, move, or attempt to empty unit while it is operating. Shut off and unplug before removing the water reservoir and moving the unit.
16.This humidifier requires daily and weekly maintenance
to operate appropriately. Refer to daily and weekly cleaning procedures. Use only cleaners and additives recommended by the manufacturer.
17.NEVER use detergents, gasoline, glass cleaner, furniture polish, paint thinner, or other household solvents to clean any part of the humidifier.
18.Excessive humidity in a room can cause water condensation on windows and some furniture. If this happens, turn the humidifier OFF.
19.Do not use humidifier in an area where humidity level is in excess of 50%. Use a hygrometer, available at your local hardware store or through Bionaire, to measure the humidity.
20.DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust any electrical or mechanical functions on this unit. Doing so will void your warranty. The inside of the unit contains no user serviceable parts. All servicing should be performed by qualified personnel only.
21.Never place humidifier housing under water flow or immerse in liquids.
22.Do not plug in the cord with wet hands: electric shock could result.
23.Do not pour water in any openings other than the water tank.

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.
HOW YOUR WARM MOISTURE HUMIDIFIER WORKS
Your Bionaire® Warm Moisture humidifier is designed to allow the proper amounts of water to flow out of the tank. Air is drawn in through the grill openings 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. Warm moisture humidi- fiers put moisture back into the air you breathe to help relieve sinus and respiratory discomforts, reduce annoying static electricity and provide a healthy growing environment for your indoor plants.
PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1.Be sure the humidifier is switched off and disconnected from the electrical outlet.
2.Select a location for your humidifier, on a flat surface, about 4” away from the wall. Do Not place your humidi- fier on furniture, a floor location that will not be dam- aged by moisture is best.
3.Remove the water tank by holding the tank handle and lifting straight upwards.
