To avoid fire or shock hazard, plug the appliance directly into a 120V AC electrical outlet. To avoid fire hazard, NEVER put the cord under rugs or near heat registers. DO NOT place humidifier near heat sources such as stoves, radiators, and heaters. 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 place hands, face or body directly over or near Moisture Outlet while unit is in operation. 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. Return appliance to manufacturer for examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment, or repair. 10. 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 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. 13. DO NOT allow the Moisture Outlet to directly face the wall. Shut off and unplug before removing the water tank and moving the unit. If you have a warm mist humidifier, DO NOT attempt to remove the water tank within 15 minutes after the humidifier is turned off and unplugged. 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 3 moisture laden wick filters, which retains the minerals and deposits in the water. The resulting moist air is directed back into the room from the top air grill. [. . . ] Once 16 hours is reached, the next push of the timer button will cycle back to 00 hours. REPLACING THE FILTERS Through normal use, waterborne minerals and sediment become trapped in the wick filters. The harder your water, the greater the amount of minerals in the water, and the more often you will be able to monitor the life of your filters in your humidifier. You will be able to monitor the life of the filters in your humidifier by checking the FilterCheck® Indicator. [. . . ]
