HOW YOUR WARM MIST HUMIDIFIER
WORKS
A humidity level below 30% can be unhealthy and
uncomfortable. The recommended humidity level is between
40%-60%.
Your Bionaire™ 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 heating element warms
the water. Air is drawn in through the 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 moisture outlet and into
the room.
