How Your Warm Mist Humidifier Works Your BionaireTM Warm Mist Humidifier is designed to allow the proper amount of water to flow out of the tank and into the heating chamber where the Electronic Thermal Control heating element warms the water. Air is drawn in through the grill openings located in the back of the unit 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. NOTE: A humidity level below 30% can be unhealthy and uncomfortable. The recommended humidity level is between 40%60%. PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Be sure the humidifier is disconnected from the electrical outlet and the Control Knob is in the Off ( ) position. 2. Select a location for your humidifier, on a flat surface, about 10cm 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 (see Fig. 1). 4. Make sure the humidifier base (E) is free of foreign objects by removing the main housing (B). To remove this stack you must move the Safety Lock located in the humidifier base, counter clockwise until the main housing can freely move away from the base. To replace the main housing and chamber back to the base line up and then rotate the safety lock clockwise. Filling the Water Tank NOTE: This humidifier holds about 3.4 litres of water in the tank and humidifier base. The humidifier will produce up to 11.7 litres of moisture over a 24-hour period. 1. Be sure the humidifier is disconnected from the electrical outlet and the Control Knob is in the Off ( ) position. Remove the water tank. 2. 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. 3. 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. 4. Plug the power cord into a convenient and suitable power supply. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1. To turn the unit on, switch the control knob to the High (2) position. High will produce the maximum moisture and Low (1) will produce the longest run time and quieter performance. The Power light ( ) will be on. It is normal for the humidifier to take 10 minutes to boil the water and produce a mist. 2. To turn the unit to low, switch the knob to the Low (1) position.

IMPORTANT: If you do not plan to use the humidifier for two or more days, make sure any residual water is drained from the water tank and base to prevent algae or bacteria growth. Cleaning and Maintenance Instruction The following maintenance procedures must be routinely followed in order to ensure proper, efficient operation of your humidifier. The unit WILL FAIL if it is not cleaned properly. Regular cleaning prevents scale build-up on the heating element and tray. It also prevents microorganisms from growing on the tray and tank. This ensures that maximum efficiency will be achieved. We cannot over-emphasize how essential proper cleaning is to the maintenance and continued use of your unit and the avoidance of algae or bacteria build-up. Regular Maintenance The frequency of maintenance will depend on the average daily use of your humidifier and the water hardness of your area. It is recommended that this procedure is carried out weekly or more regularly if necessary. 1. Before cleaning, set the control to Off ( ) position and unplug the unit from the electrical outlet. 2. Remove the water tank (A) then unlock the misting chamber (B) by rotating the safety lock. Lift mist chamber from the unit's base. 3.

The base is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning (Top rack of the dishwasher only). 4. Rinse out the tank out and refill with clean cool water. 5. Wipe the heating element clean with a soft cloth after it has had a chance to cool. WARNING: If the misting chamber is left assembled to the humidifier, it may take up to an hour before the heating element is sufficiently cool to be touched. This humidifier heats the water producing a clean moisture. Some of the impurities from the water are collected in the Heating Chamber.
