NOTE: While the humidifier is operating, you will hear the fan
running but will not see the moisture output. This is normal for
an evaporative humidifier.
To check the humidity level in the room, use a humidity
monitor like the Honeywell HHM10 or H10C, available
at retailers or online at www.honeywellcomfort.com
To keep your humidifier running efficiently, clean it regularly. Weekly cleaning is
recommended. 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 a
dishwasher.
To properly clean your humidifier we recommend the separate processes of Scale Removal
and Disinfecting. These two processes must be done separately.

Step 1
1. Turn off and unplug humidifier. Never clean the humidifier when it is running.
2. Empty water from Water Tanks.
3. Remove Motor Housing, Wicking Filter and any other accessories from humidifier
and set aside.
Follow steps 1-3 under Before Cleaning, then follow the additional steps below.
NOTE: Filter must be removed from humidifier during cleaning; do not clean Filter with
vinegar.
1. Pour up to 2 cups of undiluted distilled white vinegar into each Water Tank. Swish vinegar
around in Tank to wet entire inside of Tank.
2. Place Tanks on Base. Vinegar solution will drain into Water Reservoir and loosen mineral
buildup (Scale) in Base, Reservoir and bottom of the two Water Tanks. Allow vinegar to
remain in the Tanks and Base for 15-20 minutes.
3. Empty vinegar from Tanks and Base and use a cloth or soft brush to help remove scale.
4. Rinse Base and Reservoir with clean water until the smell of vinegar is gone.
USING YOUR HUMIDIFIER (Continued)
To prolong the life of your Wicking Filter, turn it over each time you fill the
Water Tank. This will keep the top of the Filter from drying out and will
help the Filter to age more evenly.
If you notice the Filter getting hard, you may soak it in cool water to
loosen mineral buildup. This will temporarily improve performance of the
Wicking Filter until a replacement Filter is purchased.
Do not attempt to clean the Wicking Filter with vinegar, soap or any chemical solutions. Doing
so may damage the Filter.
Protec antimicrobial layers in the Wicking Filter help to prevent growth of mold on the Filter.
However, the Filter still needs to be replaced regularly. Humidifier Filters and accessories
require replacement and are not covered under warranty.

Before Cleaning
It is recommended you change your Wicking Filter every 30-60
days depending on water quality and usage. If you have hard
water you may need to replace your Filter more frequently.
Change your Filter if you notice:
• The Filter is hard and crusty
• The Filter starts to give off an odor
• Moisture output is decreased
Be sure to use only genuine Honeywell Replacement Filters
which are Protec
®
antimicrobially treated. It helps prevent
the migration of mold, algae and bacteria on the filter.
