INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing a HONEYWELL COOL MOISTURE HUMIDIFIER. Before using your humidifier, we would like to explain the benefits of maintaining your home or office at the proper humidity level. H E A LT H Your body needs moisture to stay healthy and comfortable. Dry air can be damaging and irritating. The Honeywell Cool Moisture Humidifier may help relieve: • Dry, itchy skin and chapped lips. • Cold symptoms and congestion. • Dry, scratchy throat and coughs.
FILLING • We recommend that the humidifier be disinfected prior to first use. Please see CLEANING instructions. • Remove the water tank by grasping handle and pulling straight up. Set aside (Fig. 1). • Lift off the motor housing. Remove the Cool Moisture filter pad from the base before filling the unit with water (Fig. 2). Run it under cold water; this will help reduce residue build-up. Turn the filter upside down before repositioning it in the humidifier. Place it back in the humidifier wet.
OPERATION WARNING: DO NOT POUR WATER INTO THE GRILL ON THE TOP OF THE MOTOR HOUSING. DOING SO MAY DAMAGE THE HUMIDIFIER OR CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY. • With the power switch in the OFF position, plug the filled humidifier into a polarized 120V outlet. WARNING: DO NOT FORCE THE POLARIZED PLUG INTO THE OUTLET; it will only fit one way. WARNING: DO NOT PLUG IN THE HUMIDIFIER WITH WET HANDS AS AN ELECTRIC SHOCK COULD OCCUR.
OTHER FEATURES • If you have the HCM-2000 series models, your humidifier will have the Auto-Shut off feature. • When your water tank is empty, your humidifier will automatically shut itself off as an added safety feature. • The Refill/Restart light will illuminate indicating it is time to refill your water tank. CLEANING • We recommend that you clean the humidifier once a week, or more often if you: • have hard water, • notice a build-up of impurities, or • detect unpleasant odours.
CLEANING CONTINUED • Fill the Reservoir Base with one 8-oz. (250ml) cup of undiluted white vinegar. Let solution stay for 20 minutes. • With vinegar still in the unit, clean all interior surfaces of the base with a soft brush or cloth to remove scale. • Rinse Reservoir Base thoroughly with clean, warm water to remove scale and cleaning solution. S T E P T W O : W E E K LY D I S I N F E C T I N G ( W A T E R T A N K , RESERVOIR BASE) • Empty the water tank.
END-OF-SEASON CARE AND STORAGE • Follow weekly CLEANING instructions at end of humidification season or when humidifier will not be used for at least one week or more. Remove and throw away the filter; do not store with a used filter. • Let humidifier dry completely before storing. Do not store with water inside the Reservoir Base or water tank. • Pack the unit in its original carton and store in a cool, dry location.
