How COOL Mist works
Your GE Brand Cool Mist humidifier draws dry air
through the rear air intake grill area. This air is then
passed through a moisture–laden Wick Filter, which
retains the minerals and deposits in the water. The
resulting moist air is directed back into the room from
the top air grill.
NOTE: This humidification system provides a cool,
invisible moisture output. It is normal not to see the
mist.
NOTE: The recommended humidity level is between
40%-50%.
PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Select a location for your humidifier, on a flat surface,
about 4" away from the wall. Do not place your humid-
ifier on furniture; a floor location that will not be dam-
aged by moisture is best.
2. Be sure the Power Knob is in the OFF position and the
humidifier is disconnected from the electrical outlet.
3. Remove the Water Tank by holding the Carry Handle
and lifting straight upward (see figure 1).
4. Remove the Humidifier Housing by lifting straight
upward. Check to see that the Wick Filter is properly in
place. Replace the Humidifier Housing.
FILLING THE WATER TANK
NOTE: This humidifier holds about 2.6 gallons of
water in the Water Tank and Humidifier Base. The
humidifier will produce up to 4 gallons of mois-
ture over a 24-Hour period, depending on the
room humidity and temperature.
1. Be sure the humidifier Power Knob is turned off and
disconnected from the electrical outlet.
2. Remove the Water Tank from the Humidifier Base by
holding the Carry Handle and lifting straight up (see
figure 1).
3. Twist off the Tank Cap located on the bottom of the
Water Tank by turning counter clockwise and fill the
Water Tank with cool, fresh water.
Do not fill with warm water as this may cause leaking.
4. After filling the Water Tank, replace the tank cap by
firmly turning clockwise and then replace the Water
Tank on the base. The Water Tank will immediately
begin to empty into the Humidifier Base.
5. Plug the power cord into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Turn the Power Knob to the desired setting (HIGH,
MED or LOW).
2. Turn the Humidistat Knob to the highest setting.
3. When the desired humidity level is reached the
Humidistat Knob can be set to a lower setting to
reduce the humidification rate.
NOTE: Allow up to 30 minutes for the Wick Filter to
fully absorb water and the unit to produce the maxi-
mum moisture output.
4. When the Water Tank is empty and the water in the
Humidifier Base is almost empty, you need to refill the
Water Tank. The fan will continue to run to help dry
the humidifier. Switch off and unplug the unit. Please
follow the Daily Cleaning instructions before refilling
the Water Tank.
5. Refill the Water Tank as directed in the Pre-Operating
Instructions.
IMPORTANT: If you do not plan to use the humidi-
fier for two or more days, make sure any residual
water is drained from the Water Tank, Humidifier
Base and the Wick Filter to prevent algae or bacte-
ria growth.
FILTER MONITOR
(Located on the top of the Humidifier Housing) will
let you know when the Wick Filter needs replacing (see
Figure 1).
You will be able to monitor the condition of the Wick
Filter in your humidifier by checking the Filter Monitor
Indicator. When the unit is off or empty of water the
Filter Monitor will read in the OFF/FILL position.
Within 60 minutes of use the Filter Monitor will move
from the OFF position and indicate your Wick Filter
condition. A brand new Wick Filter will register in the
green section reading GOOD filter. After frequent use
of your humidifier, the Filter Monitor indicator will let
you know when the Wick Filter should be changed.
When the needle is in the purple CHANGE section this
means the proper amount of moisture is not getting
into your air due to the large amount of minerals and
sediment that have become trapped in your Wick Filter.
At this point you should replace your Wick Filter. It is
important to change your Wick Filter to get the best
performance from your humidifier.
