How Your Warm Mist Humidifier Works
Your Bionaire
TM
Warm Mist Humidifier is
designed to allow the proper amount of water to
flow out of the tank and into the heating
chamber where the Electronic Thermal Control
heating element warms the water. 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 30% can be
unhealthy and uncomfortable. The
recommended humidity level is between 40%-
60%.
PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Be sure the humidifi er is disconnected from
the electrical outlet and the Control Knob is
in the Off (
) position.
2. Select a location for your humidifi er, on a
fl at surface, about 10cm away from the wall.
Do not place your humidifi er on furniture.
A fl oor location that will not be damaged by
moisture is best.
3. Remove the water tank (see Fig. 1).
4. Make sure the humidifi er base (E) is free
of foreign objects by removing the main
housing (B). To remove this stack you
must move the Safety Lock located in the
humidifi er base, counter clockwise until the
main housing can freely move away from
the base. To replace the main housing and
chamber back to the base line up and then
rotate the safety lock clockwise.
Filling the Water Tank
NOTE: This humidifier holds about 3.4 litres of
water in the tank and humidifier base. The
humidifier will produce up to 11.7 litres of
moisture over a 24-hour period.
1. Be sure the humidifi er is disconnected from
the electrical outlet and the Control Knob is
in the Off ( ) position. Remove the water
tank.
2. Twist off the tank cap located on the bottom
of the tank by turning counter clockwise and
fi ll the water tank with cool, fresh water. Do
not fi ll with warm water as this may cause
leaking.
3. After fi lling the tank, replace the tank cap
by fi rmly turning clockwise and then replace
the water tank on the base. The tank will
immediately begin to empty into the base.
4. Plug the power cord into a convenient and
suitable power supply.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. To turn the unit on, switch the control knob
to the High (2) position. High will produce
the maximum moisture and Low (1) will
produce the longest run time and quieter
performance. The Power light (
) will be
on. It is normal for the humidifi er to take 10
minutes to boil the water and produce a mist.
2. To turn the unit to low, switch the knob to
the Low (1) position. To turn the unit off turn
switch the knob to Off (
).
3. The Medication cup (F) is located on the
top of the mist chamber. To use pour a few
drops of aromatherapy oils or medicinal
drops that have been prescribed by your
doctor into the Medication cup. DO NOT add
medication to the water tank. DO NOT add
medication to the Medication cup when the
unit is already operating.
RESET PROCEDURE
NOTE: When the water in the tank is empty
and the water in the heating chamber is almost
empty, the automatic shut off will activate. The
Reset Light ( ) will illuminate and the unit will
not operate again until you refill the water tank
and reset the humidifier as outlined below:
1. Turn the control knob to Off (
).
2. Unplug the unit.
3. Remove, empty and refi ll the water tank, being
sure to follow the maintenance instructions.
then replace the water tank onto the base.
4. Allow 30 minutes for the automatic shut off
to reset.
5. After the 30 minutes, plug the unit into the
socket and turn the control knob to High
(2). The Reset Light (
) should now be off.
In about 10 minutes the unit will begin to
produce moisture.
