How Does It Work - Honeywell HCM6011I - QuietCare Console Humidifer Owner's Manual

Introduction
H O W D O E S I T W O R K ?
COOL MOISTURE SYSTEM:
Dry air is pulled through the humidifier and the QuietCare™ fan blows out invisible, moisture-balanced
air. Unwanted minerals and bacteria from the water are trapped inside the Filter. When the unit is running
you will not see or feel a "mist". You will know your humidifier is putting moisture into the air as you
watch the water level in your tank decrease throughout the day.
AIR WASHING PRE FILTER:
The Filter in your humidifier also includes a specially formulated "pre-filter" which helps capture some
dust, dirt, pollen and other small particles that pass through the filter.
Protec Treated Filter: Your filter has been treated with Protec which helps prevent surface growth and
™ ™
migration of mold, mildew, algae, fungus and odor-causing bacteria in the filter for its life – approximately
1-3 months**. Keep in mind, depending on your water quality, mineral deposits can still clog or discolor
the filter, affecting its life and that of the humidifier.
**The agent contained in this product is intended to prolong filter life only by inhibiting the growth of unsightly mold, mildew and algae, as well as controlling
odor from odor-causing bacteria. The filter does not protect users or others against bacteria, viruses, germs or other disease-causing organisms. Always follow
the humidifier manufacturer's instructions regarding cleaning, maintenance and servicing of your humidifier.
