PLEASE READ AND SAVE THESE IMPORTANT
WHEN USING ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES, ESPECIALLY WHERE CHILDREN ARE
PRESENT, YOU SHOULD ALWAYS FOLLOW THESE BASIC PRECAUTIONS TO
REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK AND INJURY TO PERSONS:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. To avoid fire or shock hazard, plug the appliance directly into
a 120 V AC electrical outlet.
3. Keep the cord out of heavy traffic areas. To avoid fire hazard,
NEVER put the cord under rugs, near heat registers, radiator, stoves,
or heaters.
4. DO NOT place humidifier near heat sources such as stoves, radiators,
and heaters. Do locate your humidifier on an inside wall near an
electrical outlet. The humidifier should be at least 4" away from the
wall for best results.
5. NEVER place humidifier in an area where it is accessible to children.
NEVER use humidifier in a closed room, particularly where a child
may be sleeping, resting, or playing (a closed room may result in
excessive humidity).
6. WARNING: DO NOT attempt to refill humidifier without first
unplugging the unit from it's electrical outlet. Failure to heed
this warning may cause personal injury. Be sure to pull the plug
and not the cord.
7. Never place anything over moisture outlet when the unit is running.
8. NEVER drop or insert any object into any openings.
9. DO NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, after
the appliance malfunctions, or if it has been dropped or damaged in
any manner. Return appliance to manufacturer for examination,
electrical or mechanical adjustment, or repair.
10. Use appliance only for intended household use as described in
this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer
may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons. The use of
attachments not recommended or sold by The Holmes Group, Inc.
may cause hazards.
11. DO NOT use outdoors.
12. Always place humidifier on a firm, flat, level surface. A waterproof
mat or pad is recommended for under the humidifier. NEVER place
it on a rug or carpet, or on a finished floor that may be damaged
by exposure to water or moisture.
13. DO NOT allow the Moisture Outlet to directly face the wall.
Moisture could cause damage, particularly to wallpaper.
14. Humidifier should be unplugged when not in use.
15. NEVER tilt, move, or attempt to empty unit while it is operating. Shut
off and unplug before removing the water tank and moving the unit.
16. This humidifier requires daily and weekly maintenance to operate
properly. Refer to the Cleaning and Maintenance instructions section
in this manual.
THIS PRODUCT IS EQUIPPED WITH A POLARIZED AC (Alternating
Current) PLUG (a plug having one blade wider than the other).
This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact qualified personnel to install the proper outlet.

paint thinner, or other household solvents to clean any part of the
humidifier. Use only Holmes

of 50%; excessive moisture could cause damage. If the unit does
not feature a hygrometer (a device use to measure the humidity
level), one may be purchased by calling 1-800-5-HOLMES or visit
www.holmesproducts.com.

functions on this unit. Doing so will void your warranty. The inside

PLEASE READ AND SAVE
THESE IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Thank you for choosing a Holmes Cool Mist console humidifier. To ensure
the best performance from your humidifier, please read and save the
following instructions.
Consumer Safety Information
N
OTE: This is an electrical appliance and requires attention when in use.
NOTE: If moisture forms on the walls or windows of the room, turn off
the humidifier. The room already has plenty of humidity and additional
moisture may cause damage.
Cord and Plug Installation Safety Instructions
The length of cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the
hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer
cord is necessary an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical
rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of
the humidifier. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it
will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or accidentally tripped over.
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%.
