Operation; Weekly Cleaning - Honeywell HCM-890 Series Owner's Manual

OPERATION

CAUTION: DO NOT PLUG IN THE HUMIDIFIER WITH WET HANDS AS AN ELECTRIC SHOCK COULD
OCCUR.
POWER
With the power switch in the OFF position, plug the filled humidifier into a polarized 120V outlet.
DO NOT FORCE THE POLARIZED PLUG INTO THE OUTLET; it will only fit one way.
HUMIDITY CONTROL
1. Set the fan speed control to the desired position (Fig. 4).
HIGH: For fast humidifying or max moisture output
LOW: For quieter operation or night time use
NOTE: The length of time your humidifier runs will vary
depending on the quality of construction and insulation of
your room and house, as well as the fan speed.
2. Turn the humidifier OFF if the humidity level feels too moist
or you notice condensation forming on the walls and/or
windows.
ALWAYS be sure to empty any unused water in the Base and/
or Water Tank each time you refill the water tank or finish
using the humidifier.
NOTE: To ensure proper humidity in your home, you should
use a hygrometer (room humidity indicator) and place it
across the room from your humidifier.
(Hygrometer sold separately)

WEEKLY CLEANING

We recommend cleaning the humidifier once a week, more often if you have hard water or notice
a build up of impurities or detect unpleasant odors.
NOTE: THE USE OF OTHER WATER TREATMENT PRODUCTS MAY DAMAGE THE FILTER OR
HUMIDIFIER.
Cleaning involves two steps SCALE REMOVAL and DISINFECTING. Be sure to perform these in the
proper order to avoid harmful chemical interactions.
• First, turn off and unplug the humidifier.
• Remove the Water Tank and Motor Housing.
• Remove the cool moisture filter from the Base.
• Discard any residual water from the Base.
• Clean all outside surfaces with a dry, soft cloth. DO NOT USE WATER. THIS MAY DAMAGE THE
HUMIDIFIER OR CAUSE ELECTRIC SHOCK.
