HOW COOL MIST WORKS
Your Holmes 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: A humidity level below 20% can be unhealthy and uncomfort-
able. The recommended humidity level is between 40%-50%.
PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Push the 1 Touch™ (MODE/OFF) button for 2 seconds to turn the
unit OFF and disconnect from the electrical outlet.
2. Select a location for your humidifier, on a flat surface, about 4"
away from the wall. Do not place your humidifier on furniture;
a floor location that will not be damaged by moisture is best.
3. Remove the water tank by holding the tank handle and lifting
straight upward (see figure 1).
4. Remove the main 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 1 gallon of water in the tank and
humidifier base. The humidifier will produce up to 2.5 gallons of
moisture over a 24-Hour period, depending on the room humidity
and temperature.
1. Push the 1 Touch™ (MODE/OFF) button for 2 seconds to turn the
unit OFF and disconnect from the electrical outlet.
2. Remove the tank from the base by holding the handle and lifting
straight up (see figure 1).
3. Twist off the tank cap located on the bottom of the 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 tank, replace the tank cap by firmly turning clock-
wise and then replace the water tank on the base. The tank will
immediately begin to empty into the base.
5. Plug the power cord into a 120V AC electrical outlet.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Your humidifier is equipped with a technologically advanced 1 Touch™
Electronic Humidistat. You can set the humidifier to run continuously
in manual mode or set the 1 Touch™ Electronic Humidistat to your
desired temperature setting. The 1 Touch™ Electronic Humidistat will
automatically turn the humidifier ON or OFF, depending on the preset
comfort level. The comfort level ranges between 35% and 55% rela-
tive humidity.
Manual Mode Instructions:
1. Plug the humidifier into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
2. To start the unit, push the MODE/OFF button once for the HIGH
manual setting. (See figure 3.)
3. Press the button again for the LOW manual setting. (See figure 3.)
4. To stop the unit, press and hold the MODE/OFF button for two
seconds, or keep pressing the button until all the humidity
indicators are OFF.
NOTE: In Manual Mode, only the LOW or HIGH power light will be lit.
1 Touch™ Humidistat Instructions
To take advantage of the 1 Touch™ Electronic Humidistat, press the
MODE/OFF button until the speed is set in either the HIGH or LOW
setting, and the Desired Humidity is set. When the humidity level
rises above the set humidity, the humidifier will stop. When the
humidity level drops below the set humidity, the humidifier will turn
on automatically.
NOTE: When the 1 Touch™ Electronic Humidistat is set, either the
HIGH or LOW power light and the percent humidity light will remain
lit during operation. (See figure 3.)
NOTE: Allow up to 30 minutes for the filter to fully absorb water and
for the unit to produce moisture.
NOTE: The 1 Touch™ Humidifier has memory. This means that when
you turn the unit back on, it will be at the last setting the humidifier
was set at.
If you do not plan to use the humidifier for two or more days, make
sure any residual water is drained from the water tank, base and wick
filter to prevent algae or bacteria growth.
