How Does It Work - Honeywell QuietCare HCM-6011WW Owner's Manual

Introduction
H O W D O E S I T W O R K ?
COOL MOISTURE SYSTEM:
Dry air is pulled through the humidifier and the QuietCare
Unwanted minerals and bacteria from the water are trapped inside the Filter. When the unit is running you
will not see or feel a "mist". You will know your humidifier is putting moisture into the air as you watch the
water level in your tank decrease throughout the day.
AIR WASHING TECHNOLOGY:
Your new console humidifier comes with a unique Air Washing system which helps "wash the air as it
humidifies". The unique pre-filter in combination with an ionizer helps capture dust, dirt and pollen while
freshening the air.
Ionizer: Your console humidifier has an independently controlled ionizer, which, when turned on, releases
negative ions into outgoing humidified air. Negative ions attach themselves to very small airborne particles
in the room. These particles take on a negative charge and may join with positively charged particles, such
as dust, pollen, smoke and pet dander to form larger particles that are then more readily captured by the
filter system. They may also be attracted to positively charged surfaces like floors or walls.
You may sometimes notice after extended use, that dust may have collected around the grilles of your
humidifier. This is from the ionization effect caused by the negative ions existing from the air outlet. This
is additional evidence of the air cleaning effectiveness of negative ions. The dust can be easily removed
with a clean, damp cloth or soft brush.
Pre-filter: The Filter in your humidifier also includes a specially formulated "pre-filter" which helps capture
some dust, dirt, pollen and other small particles. The addition of this pre-filter layer in conjunction with the
ionizer helps capture some of the unwanted particles that move through your household air.
