Cord and Plug Installation Safety Instructions:
The length of cord used on this appliance was selected to
reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping
over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary an
approved extension cord may be used. The electrical
rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater
than the rating of the humidifier (refer to the rating
information placed on the humidifier). Care must be
taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not
drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be
pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.
HOW WARM MIST WORKS
Your Bionaire Warm Mist humidifier is designed to allow
®
the proper amount of water to flow out of the tank. Air is
drawn in through the grill openings located in the back of
the unit and mixed with steam in the misting chamber.
The warm mist is then dispersed out of the top of the
misting chamber through the outlet grill and into the
room.
NOTE: A humidity level below 20% can be unhealthy
and uncomfortable. The recommended humidity level is
between 40%-50%.
PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

2. Select a location for your humidifier, on a flat level
surface about 4 inches (10cm) away from the wall.
DO NOT place the humidifier on a finished floor or
near furniture, which can be damaged by too much
moisture or water. Place on a moisture resistant surface.
3. Remove the tank from the main housing.
4. Bring the tank to the sink, turn upside down and
twist off the tank cap by turning counter clockwise.
Fill tank with cool, fresh tap water. DO NOT fill with
warm water as this may cause leaking. Replace the
cap on tank FIRMLY. The tank will hold 1 gallon of water.
