Honeywell HUL535 Series Manual

HUL535 Series HUMIDIFIER COMPONENTS

How it Works:
The Honeywell Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier (Model HUL535) Series is designed to quietly provide visible cool moisture. Water is released from the Water Tank into Water Reservoir where a small disk vibrates at a high frequency to break the water into tiny droplets. A small, ultra quiet fan propels the droplets into the air.

HUL535 SERIES ACCESSORIES

The following optional accessory works great with your humidifier.
Protec Cleaning Cartridge, PC-1, PC-1C or PC-2

Helps keep your humidifier cleaner, longer. It also continuously cleans and protects humidifiers against bacteria & mold. Keeps cleaning for 30 days.

SETTING UP YOUR HUMIDIFIER

1. Remove packaging materials. Keep instructions.
   
2. Remove twist tie and extend power cord.
   
3. Place on a firm, level, water resistant surface a minimum of 12" (30cm) from any walls.
   

FILLING/REFILLING

NOTE: Water Tank should be carried using two hands. One hand using carrying handle located on tank top and other hand supporting the base of the tank.
Kaz will not accept responsibility for property damage caused by water spillage.

1. Remove Tank and turn upside down.
2. Turn Tank Cap in the direction of the open lock symbol to remove cap.
3. Fill Tank with cool water. Do not fill with warm or hot water.
4. Securely replace Tank Cap, aligning arrow to lock symbol. Be sure that black Cap Seal is securely in place.
5. Place Tank back on base.

Use care when handling Water Tank to avoid unnecessary impact. Banging or dropping the Water Tank could result in damage to the tank that will cause leaking.

OPERATING

1. Power: With the Power Knob in the off position, plug humidifier into a polarized 120V outlet.
   
   To avoid electric shock do not plug humidifier into outlet with wet hands.
2. Output: Turn the Power Knob to highest setting.
3. Direct mist output away from walls, furniture and bedding.
4. Humidity Level: When a comfortable humidity level is reached turn Power Knob to a lower setting. A comfortable humidity level is between 40-60%.
   To monitor your humidity level use a humidity monitor such as the Vicks V70 or V70-CAN model or the Honeywell H10C model.
   If you notice condensation on the walls, windows or around unit, your humidity level is too high. Turn humidifier off.
   
   Before moving humidifier, turn off, unplug and empty the humidifier.

WEEKLY CLEANING

To properly clean your humidifier we recommend the separate processes of Scale Removal and Disinfecting shown below. These two processes MUST BE performed separately.
All maintenance should be done in the kitchen or bathroom on a water resistant surface near a faucet. Do not wash any components of this humidifier in the dishwasher.

Instructions for Scale Removal

1. Turn off and unplug the humidifier.
2. Remove Water Tank from Base. Remove Mist Outlet from top of Water Tank and set aside. Remove Tank Cap, taking care that black rubber Cap Seal does not come off. Empty water from Water Tank and Base.
3. If accessory is installed, remove accessory and set aside. Do not clean accessory. This will damage the accessory.
4. Add 2 cups of undiluted distilled white vinegar to Water Tank. Replace Tank Cap and swish vinegar solution around in Tank. Place Tank on Base. Vinegar solution will drain into Water Reservoir and loosen mineral buildup (scale) on Nebulizer and Float as they soak in the solution. It will also loosen scale on bottom of Water Tank.

5. Soak for 15-20 minutes.
6. After soaking, unlock Tank Cap and pour solution out in sink. Use solution from Water Reservoir to wipe the underside of the Mist Outlet with a clean cloth.
7. Pour solution from Water Reservoir out in sink. Wipe Nebulizer and Float with soft cloth to remove loosened mineral deposits.
8. Rinse Water Reservoir and Water Tank until smell of vinegar (for Scale Removal process) or bleach solution (for Disinfecting process) is gone. Make sure water does not enter the fan opening (vented opening in back of base) or Power Knob.

Do not submerge base in water. Doing so will damage the humidifier and void the warranty.

Instructions for Disinfecting

Follow Steps 1-3 in Scale Removal Instructions in previous section.
For Step 4: Add 1 tsp of bleach to 1 gallon (3.8L) of water and add to Water Tank. Replace Tank Cap. Swish solution around in Tank. Place Tank on Base. Bleach solution will drain into Water Reservoir and will disinfect Water Reservoir and other components as they soak.

NOTE: Using more than 1 tsp. of bleach per gallon of water may result in damage to your humidifier.
See steps 5-8 in Scale Removal Instructions in previous section to complete Disinfecting process.
NOTE: Do not mix vinegar and bleach solutions together. Scale Removal and Disinfecting must

WATER QUALITY AND YOUR HUMIDIFIER

High mineral content in your water, also known as "hard water" may cause a white mineral residue to accumulate on surfaces in the room near the humidifier. This mineral residue is commonly referred to as "White Dust." The higher the mineral content or hardness of your water, the greater the potential that you may have white dust.
White dust is not a result of a defect or flaw in the humidifier. It is a result of the amount of minerals suspended in the water you are using.
If you live in a hard water area the use of distilled water will minimize the production of white dust.

END-OF-SEASON CARE AND STORAGE

Follow the CLEANING instructions when the humidifier will not be used for at least one week, or it is the end of the season.
At the end of the season, remove any accessories used with the humidifier and allow the humidifier and accessories to dry completely before storing.
Do not store with water inside the Base, Water Reservoir or Water Tank.
Pack unit safely and store in a cool, dry location.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If your humidifier is not working properly, refer to the following:

NOTE: Failure to keep this unit clean from mineral deposits normally contained in any water supply will affect the efficiency of operation of this unit. Customer failure to follow these instructions may void the warranty.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS HUMIDIFIER
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to people or property, including the following:

1. The appliance should always be placed on a firm, flat, waterproof surface at least four feet (1.2 m) away from bedside, 12 inches (30 cm) from the wall and out of reach of patients, children and pets. Be sure the appliance is in a stable position and the power cord is away from heated surfaces and out of the way to prevent the humidifier from being tipped over.
2. The appliance should not be left unattended in a closed room since air could become saturated and leave condensation in front of unit, on walls and furniture. Leave room door partly open. Do not aim mist nozzle directly at children, walls or furniture.
3. Before using the appliance, extend the cord and inspect for any signs of damage. Do not use the unit if the cord has been damaged. Do not operate with power cord coiled or twist tie in place.
4. The appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) as a safety feature. This plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
5. 
   To avoid fire or shock hazard, plug the appliance directly into a 120V AC electrical outlet. To avoid risk of fire, shock or personal injury do not use an extension cord.
6. The appliance should always be unplugged and emptied when not in operation or while being cleaned. Shut off and unplug humidifier before moving. Do not move or tilt humidifier while it is in operation. Plug and unplug unit with dry hands. Never pull by cord.
7. Do not operate the appliance without water. Turn off and unplug unit when tank is empty.
8. Appliance requires regular cleaning. Refer to, and follow, cleaning instructions.
9. Do not operate outdoors; this appliance is intended for indoor residential use only.
10. Do not cover or insert objects into any openings on the unit.
11. Do not attempt to repair or adjust any electrical or mechanical functions on this appliance. Doing so will void your warranty.
12. Do not place in direct sunlight, high temperature areas or near computers or sensitive electronic equipment.
