PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Be sure the humidifier is switched OFF and the unit is disconnected from
the electrical outlet.
2. Remove housing, filter and tanks (see fig1).
3. TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL MOBILITY AND CONVENIENCE TO YOUR CONSOLE
HUMIDIFIER, install the wheels. Remove the four wheels located in a small
pouch in the box. Turn the base upside down, and locate the holes at each
of the four corners on the underside.
NOTE: You will notice that there are two different shaped wheels. Two
of the 4 wheels are stationary wheels and two are swivel type wheels. The
stationary wheels are identified by a flat top surface, while the swivel type
are curved and include a small plastic piece on the shaft. See figure 1 for
installation location for each type of wheel. DO NOT use any tools to install
the wheel because tools may damage the base of the unit. Return the base
to the upright position.
4. Replace filter, housing and tanks.
5. Choose a location out of reach of children. DO NOT place the humidifier
on a finished floor or near furniture which can be damaged by moisture
or water.
FILLING THE WATER TANKS
1. Remove the two tanks from the base of the humidifier and bring each
tank to the faucet. Turn the tanks upside down and twist off the tank
caps by turning counter-clockwise. Fill each tank with cool, fresh tap
water. Replace the cap on each tank FIRMLY.
NOTE: Adding a water softening agent like Holmes Water Treatment
(Model S-1705) to the water will soften mineral deposits and prevent lime
and scale build-up. It will also help prolong the life of the wick filter and
make cleaning easier.
2. When full, carry each tank to the humidifier and place onto the base
(use both hands when carrying each tank). Each tank holds 2.2 gallons of
water, and the base holds 2 gallons of water. WHEN THE TANKS ARE FULL
AND PLACED INTO THE BASE, YOU CAN HEAR THE WATER SLOWLY EMPTY
INTO THE BASE. When the water stops emptying, remove the tanks and
refill each again. Replace the tanks into the base. The WATER LIMITING
feature on the tank cap will prevent the tanks from overflowing into the
base. YOU NOW HAVE 2.2 GALLONS OF WATER IN EACH TANK AND
2 GALLONS OF WATER IN THE BASE OF THE HUMIDIFIER FOR A TOTAL
OF 6.4 GALLONS OF WATER.
3. Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
With housing placed properly onto the base, the filter installed correctly, the
tanks filled and the plug correctly inserted in the outlet, you are now ready
to operate the humidifier.
NOTE: The HM3500 produces clean, cool, INVISIBLE moisture.It is normal
not to see the moisture.
1. Switch the Humidity Control Switch to the HI position and slide the
humidistat to HI.
2. Allow up to 30 minutes for the filter to fully absorb water and the unit
to produce the maximum moisture output.
3. Adjust the 3-speed Humidity Control Knob and the Humidistat as desired.
4. The Automatic Humidistat Control is designed to operate between 25%
and 60% Relative Humidity range. The recommended setting is between
40% and 50%. When the humidity level in the room is below the level
you have set, the humidifier will operate to produce moisture. When the
set humidity level in the room is reached, the humidifier will stop. When
the humidity again drops below the set level, the unit will automatically
start and produce moisture again.
A humidity level below 20% can be unhealthy and uncomfortable.
The recommended humidity level is between 40% and 50%.
5. When the water level is low, the refill light will illuminate to indicate
the unit needs refilling. Shut off and unplug the unit.
NOTE: THE FAN WILL CONTINUE TO RUN TO ALLOW THE
HUMIDIFIER TO DRY OUT AND PREVENT ALGAE GROWTH.
6. Before refilling, follow Daily Maintenance Instructions.
7. Refill water tanks.
8. Plug into the electrical outlet. Turn the Humidity Control Knob to the
HI, MED, or Low setting.
NOTE: If moisture forms on the walls or windows, turn off the humidifier.
