BASE OUTPUT GRILLE

The Kaz HealthMist® 4100, 4200 and 4220 models produce a cool mist through revolutionary new cyclone technology. The motor-driven impeller draws up water through a pickup tube. Centrifugal force throws the water through a screen into the vortex chamber, breaking up the water into a superfine, cool mist.

Each of these cool mist humidifiers restores healthy humidity levels to dry indoor air more effi- ciently than other impeller-type humidifiers.

THE AIR-CLEANING DynaFilter®

Kaz cool mist humidifiers include the exclusive Kaz DynaFilter K14. The DynaFilter removes dust, pollen, odors and tobacco smoke from the air,

removing 93% of particles as small as pollen.

CAUTION: DO NOT PLUG IN THE CORD WITH WET HANDS; ELECTRIC SHOCK COULD RESULT.

This product has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) as a safety feature. The plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit properly into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

FOR MODEL 4220: Turn switch to either of the two speeds - Low (I) or High (II).

CAUTION: Turn off the humidifier if moisture condenses on cold surfaces or walls. Room air may be excessively humid.

IMPORTANT: To maintain proper operation of your humidifier, be sure to follow Care and Cleaning instructions.

Care and Cleaning

5. Soak Pickup Tube in undiluted white vinegar. Let stand for 20 minutes.

7. Rinse Pickup Tube and Base thoroughly in clean, warm water until scale particles are removed.

8. Wipe exterior surfaces of the Top Housing with a soft, dry cloth. DO NOT IMMERSE OR SPRAY WATER ON THE TOP HOUSING. You are now ready to disinfect the base.

Disinfecting the Base

1. Fill Base with one teaspoon of household bleach in 1 gallon of water. Place the Pickup Tube in the Base and let remain for 20 minutes. Stir every few minutes to insure that all

surfaces are coated.

2. Empty Base after 20 minutes. Thoroughly rinse the Base and Pickup Tube

with water until bleach smell is gone. Dry with clean cloth or paper towel.

the concentration of pollutants in the air. If you notice heavy dirt accumulation on the filter or if the humidifier output is significantly reduced, it’s time to change to a new DynaFilter!

Kaz DynaFilter K14 cartridges are available at leading pharmacies and drug departments. You may also order directly from Kaz (see Order Information on back page).

Tap water may contain pollutants and minerals (scale) that can deposit on the inner surfaces of the humidifier. Such scale can accelerate the growth of microorganisms and it is important that period- ic cleaning is performed as outlined below. More frequent cleaning may be necessary if you notice a heavy build-up of scale.

INSPECT THE DYNAFILTER

Remove and inspect the DynaFilter cartridge for dirt and dust accumulation. If you notice heavy accu- mulation, the filter needs to be replaced. If filter is not changed regularly, dust and other pollutants will clog the filter, impair air flow, reduce the efficiency of the humidifier and may damage the motor.

OR WHEN HUMIDIFIER WILL NOT BE IN USE FOR AT LEAST ONE WEEK

1. Clean and dry the humidifier thoroughly as per the Weekly Maintenance instructions above.

2. Store in a cool, dry location. DO NOT STORE WITH WATER INSIDE THE BASE.
