CORD AND PLUG INSTALLATION SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. To turn the humidifier on, switch the Slider Wheel (C) to
produce the highest moisture level ( ). A lower setting
will produce lower moisture level but with longer run
time (for BU5000 and BU5100 only). The detailed
settings for each model are shown as below:
This appliance has a POLARIZED AC PLUG (one blade is
wider than the other). To reduce the risk
of electric shock, this plug is intended to
fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician to install
the proper outlet.

will automatically shut off and the fan will keep running
to dry any residual water out of the base and chamber.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MODIFY THIS PLUG OR
DEFEAT THIS SAFETY FEATURE IN ANY WAY.
The length of cord used on this appliance was selected to
reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping
over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary an
approved extension cord may be used. The electrical
rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater
than the rating of 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.
3. Once the tank is empty, turn the the Slider Wheel to the
Off position ( ) and unplug the unit.

humidifier base. This may cause the humidifier to function
intermittently, or stop emitting mist. Should this occur,
simply remove the excess water from the humidifier base.
3. Rinse clean with warm water to remove cleaning
solution before disinfecting the tank.
To Disinfect Tank
1. Fill humidifier tank 1/2 full with water and 1/2
tablespoon of chlorine bleach.

two or more days, make sure any residual water is drained
from the water tank and base to prevent any algae or
bacteria growth in stagnant water. Make sure the tank is dry.
2. Let the solution stand for 20 minutes, swishing every
few minutes. Wet all surfaces.
3. Carefully empty the tank after 20 minutes, and rinse
with warm water until you can not detect any bleach
smell. Dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.
