How Your Warm Mist Humidifier Works
Your Bionaire
®
Warm Mist Humidifier is designed
to allow the proper amount of water to flow out
of the tank and through the water purification
filter. The filter takes most of the minerals and
sediment out of the water before the water
enters 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 45%-55%.
PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Be sure the humidifier is disconnected from
the electrical outlet and the power dial is in
the 0 - off position.
2. Select a location for your humidifier, on a flat
surface, about 10cm 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 (see Figure 1).
Remove the Water Purification Filter (In some
circumstances the filter may be contained
within a bag. Please remove the bag.). Soak
thoroughly by immersing filter in water for 5
minutes. Then replace in the water tray and
wait 15 minutes for water to pass through
the filter before turning on the unit.
4. Make sure the water tray is free of foreign
objects by removing the Mist Chamber. To
remove this stack you must move the Safety
Lock (M) that secures both parts in place.
(Replace the Mist Chamber over the heating
element and make sure that the Safety Lock
dial is in the "Lock" position).
Filling the Water Tank
NOTE: This humidifier holds about 5.5 litres of
water in the tank and humidifier base. The
humidifier will produce up to 11.5 litres of
moisture over a 24-hour period.
1. Be sure the humidifier is disconnected from
the electrical outlet and the power dial is in
the 0 - off position. Remove the water tank.
2. Twist off the tank cap located on the bottom
of the reservoir by turning counter clockwise
and fill the water tank with cool, fresh water.
Do not fill with warm water as this may
cause leaking.
3. After filling the tank, replace the tank cap by
firmly 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 (See Fig 2)
IMPORTANT
When using the water purification filter in the
humidifier for the first time, or after a period of
non-use (i.e. 48 hours), pre-soak the Water
Purification Filter thoroughly by immersing filter
in water for 5 minutes. Then replace in the
water tray and wait 15 minutes for water to pass
through the filter before turning on the unit.
Then, carefully lift the water tank and check if the
water tray (I) is 2/3 full of water. If not, replace
the water tank and wait a further 5 minutes until
the water reaches the desired level.
DO NOT switch on the humidifier until the water
tray is 2/3 full of water.
1. Turn the power dial to the I position. It is
normal for the humidifier to take about 2-3
minutes to warm up and begin to mist.
2. The Medicine Cup (B) is located on the top of
the Mist Chamber (A). To use, pour designated
humidifier medication into the groove.
DO NOT add medication to the water tank
DO NOT add medication to the medicine cup
when the unit is already operating.
Nightlight
1. To activate nightlight( ), move the dial to
the on (I) position.
2. To maximize bulb life, turn the nightlight
( ) off (O) during the day.
RESET PROCEDURE
NOTE: When the water tank is empty and the
water in the Heating Chamber is almost empty,
the re-fill light (red) will illuminate and the
Automatic Shut-off will activate. The unit will not
operate again until you refill the water tank and
reset the humidifier.
1. Turn the power dial to the O - off position.
2. Unplug the unit.
3. Remove and refill the water tank.Replace the
tank onto the base.
