HOW COOL MIST WORKS

Your Holmes Cool Mist humidifier draws dry air through the rear

air intake grill area. This air is then passed through a moisture-laden wick filter, which retains the minerals and deposits in the water. The resulting moist air is directed back into the room from the top air grill.

NOTE: This humidification system provides a cool, invisible moisture output. It is normal not to see the mist.

NOTE: A humidity level below 20% can be unhealthy and uncomfortable. The recommended humidity level is between 40%-50%.

PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1.Be sure the humidifier is 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 humidifier on furniture; a floor location that will not be damaged by moisture is best.

3.Remove the water tank by holding the tank handle and lifting straight upward (see figure 1).

4.Remove the main housing by lifting straight upward. Check to see that the wick filter is properly in place. Replace the humidifier housing.

FILLING THE WATER TANK

NOTE: This humidifier holds about 2.25 gallons of water in the tank and humidifier base. The humidifier will produce up to 4 gallons of moisture over a 24-Hour period, depending on the room humidity and temperature.

1.Be sure the humidifier is OFF and disconnected from the electrical outlet.

2.Remove the tank from the base by holding the handle and lifting straight up (see figure 1).

3.Twist off the tank cap located on the bottom of the tank by turning counter clockwise and fill the water tank with cool, fresh water.

Do not fill with warm water as this may cause leaking.

4.After filling the tank, replace the tank cap by firmly turning clockwise and then replace the water tank on the base.

The tank will immediately begin to empty into the base.

5.Plug the power cord into a 120V AC electrical outlet.

SETTING THE ACCUSET, PROGRAMMABLE HUMIDISTAT:
