User manual BIONAIRE BCM7205

[. . . ] Answer The estimated run time for this humidifier is based on average room conditions. The actual run time of your humidifier is dependent on numerous variables such as: Air exchange in the room where the humidifier is placed. Movement of occupants and the opening and closing of doors in the room where the humidifier is placed. Fill the tank all the way full, place it on the base, let the water empty into the base until it stops bubbling, then refill the tank full again. [. . . ] DO locate your humidifier on an inside wall near an electrical outlet. The humidifier should be at least 4 inches (10 cm) away from the wall for best results. NEVER use humidifier in a closed room, particularly where a child may be sleeping, resting, or playing (a closed room may result in excessive humidity). WARNING: Do not attempt to refill humidifier without first unplugging the unit from its electrical outlet. DO NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, after the appliance malfunctions, or if it has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Use appliance only for intended household use as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may cause hazards. NEVER place it on a rug or carpet, or on a finished floor that may be damaged by exposure to water or moisture. Shut off and unplug before removing the water tank and moving the unit. NEVER use detergents, gasoline, glass cleaner, furniture polish, paint thinner, or other household solvents to clean any part of the humidifier. Excessive humidity in a room can cause water condensation on windows and some furniture. Do not use humidifier in an area where humidity level is in excess of 50%. Use a hygrometer, available at your local retailer or through the manufacturer, to measure the humidity. DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust any electrical or mechanical functions on this unit. NOTE: If moisture forms on the walls or windows of the room, turn off the humidifier. The room already has plenty of humidity and additional moisture may cause damage. 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. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the humidifier (refer to the rating artwork 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 COOL MIST WORKS Your Bionaire® Cool Mist humidifier draws dry air through the rear air intake grill area. This air is then passed through a moisture­laden wick filter, which retains the minerals and deposits in the water. [. . . ] Drain the water from the tank into the sink and rinse tank thoroughly. Put filter back in, replace the housing, then refill tank with cool tap water as instructed earlier in the Filling Instructions. Clean the base by partially filling the base with one 8-oz cups of undiluted white vinegar, or by using Clean-AwayTM (model DMS216) by the manufacturer. Leave this solution in the base for 20 minutes, while cleaning the all interior surfaces with a soft brush. [. . . ]
