REFILL/RESET INDICATOR - When illuminated, the water tank needs refill-
ing. See the section “Filling the Water Tank”. If still illuminated after full tank is
placed on base, see TROUBLESHOOTING section (Page 9).
RELATIVE HUMIDITY CONTROL - This controls the humidity level. If mod-
erate humidity is desired, the control should be turned counterclockwise toward
“LO”; and if higher humidity is desired, clockwise toward “HI”.
NOTE: When you unpack your humidifier, you may find it has droplets of water
on some surfaces. This is normal as every unit is tested prior to shipping.
Carefully unpack humidifier and remove all packing material.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Fill the Water Tank according to the instructions below and place on
humidifier base.
2. Plug the power cord firmly and completely into the wall outlet.
3. Turn the switch to the “ON” position. It will be normal for the humidifier to
take 2 minutes to warm up and begin to mist.
4. When the water tank is empty, (after approximately 24 hours running time),
the “REFILL/RESET WHEN LIT” lamp will go on, and the unit will stop heat-
ing. Refer to the “FILLING THE WATER TANK” section.
5. Whenever the water falls below the level of the probes during operation, the
heating element will shut off and stop heating.
6. Mist nozzle may be adjusted manually by pointing in desired direction.
(GF-200 only) NEVER point at wall.
7. Mount humidifier on drip tray if using unit on wood surface or other surface
that could possibly be damaged by accidental water spillage or
condensation.
FILLING THE WATER TANK
1. Before filling the water tank, turn the ON-OFF switch to the “OFF” position
and unplug unit.
2. Remove water tank from base, turn the tank upside down and remove tank
cap by turning counterclockwise. Fill tank with clean cold tap water.
Replace the tank cap by turning clockwise. Tighten firmly.
3. Carefully pick up tank, since it will be heavy when full, and slippery if wet.
4. Place water tank on base. Make sure tank is properly placed, otherwise, the
humidifier will not work correctly.
USING THE MEDICATION CUP/MIST OUTLET GRILLE
In order to add a medicated vapor to the “mist” output:
1. Turn the ON-OFF switch to the “OFF” position and allow the outlet grille
to cool.
2. Lift the medication cup.
3. Carefully add liquid medication; DO NOT fill the cup more than half full.
4. Carefully replace the medication cup.
5. Turn the ON-OFF switch to the “ON” position.
6. After use, remove the cup from the unit and clean any residue from the cup
with warm water.

HOW YOUR
SLANT/FIN
WARM MIST
HUMIDIFIER WORKS
This model humidifier uses a
two-step approach to eliminate
potentially harmful microorgan-
isms from the water before they
are spread with the mist into
the air. The first step uses a
UV germicidal bulb, located
inside the base of the humidifi-
er, that shines on the water
through a special glass tube as
it passes from the cold water
reservoir to the hot water reser-
voir. The second step is the
boiling action that takes place in
the hot water reservoir just before the mist is distributed by fan to the air in the
room. These two methods limit the likelihood of harmful microorganisms getting
into the atmosphere and being breathed by you, your family and pets.
CONTR OL PANEL
ON-OFF SWITCH
When the switch is turned
to the “ON” setting and the
unit is plugged in, the
power is on.
REPLACE UV BULB
If the “REPLACE UV BULB” signal light is illuminated during normal use, the
bulb must be replaced with the same special 3.5W bulb. See the enclosed order
form. The UV germicidal bulb will operate at maximum output for approximately
2,000 hours (typically 1 to 2 years of normal operation). The UV germicidal bulb
may operate longer than 2,000 hours but at a reduced output. To keep your
humidifier operating at maximum efficiency it is recommended that the UV ger-
micidal bulb be replaced after 2,000 hours of use.
WEEKLY CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE ADVISORY
At least weekly cleaning is recommended, when the unit has been in use. Regular
cleaning prevents mineral scale buildup in the hot water reservoir. It also helps prevent
buildup of bacteria, molds or other micro-organisms in the tank or system. This ensures
that your humidifier will operate at maximum efficiency. (See page 6 for full cleaning
instructions.)
