FILLING THE WATER TANK  
A
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS  
1. Remove the tank from the housing of the humidifier by  
grabbing the handle of the tank and pulling forward.  
Lift the tank out of the housing and bring to the faucet.  
Turn the tank upside down and twist off the tank cap  
by turning counter clockwise. Fill tank with cool, fresh  
tap water. DO NOT fill with warm water as this may  
cause leaking. Replace the cap on tank FIRMLY.  
2. When full, carry the tank to the humidifier and place it  
into the housing. There is a tab located on the tank  
base for easy guidance. The tank holds 1.3 gallons of  
water. The tank will immediately begin to empty into  
the base.  
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions  
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric  
shock, and injury to persons, including the following:  
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.  
2. To avoid fire or shock hazard, plug the appliance directly  
into a 120V AC electrical outlet.  
3. Keep the cord out of heavy traffic areas. To avoid fire  
hazard, NEVER put the cord under rugs or near heat  
registers.  
4. DO NOT place humidifier near heat sources such as  
stoves, radiators, and heaters. Locate your humidifier  
on an inside wall near an electrical outlet. The humidifier  
should be at least 4” away from the wall for best results.  
5. NEVER place humidifier in an area where it is accessible  
to children. 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).  
6. WARNING: Do not attempt to refill humidifier without  
first unplugging the unit from its electrical outlet.  
Failure to heed this warning may cause personal injury.  
Be sure to unplug the unit by pulling on the plug and  
not the cord.  
7. Never place anything over moisture outlet when the unit  
is running.  
8. NEVER drop or insert any object into any openings  
unless instructed in this manual.  
9. 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 by the manufacturer may cause hazards.

contact qualified personnel to install the proper outlet.  
NOTE: The Digital Humidistat Humidifier has memory.  
This means that when you turn the unit back on, it will be  
at the last setting the humidifier was set at.  
DO NOT DEFEAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE OF THIS  
POLARIZED PLUG IN ANY WAY  
If you do not plan to use the humidifier for two or more  
days, make sure any residual water is drained from the  
water tank, base and wick filter to prevent algae or bacteria  
growth.  
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE 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. 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.  
Humidifiers provide comfort by adding moisture to dry,  
heated indoor air. To get the most benefit from the  
humidifier and avoid product misuse, follow all instructions  
carefully, specifically the operation, care and maintenance  
guidelines. Please note that this is an electrical appliance,  
and requires attention when in use.  
REPLACING THE FILTERS  
3. Plug the power cord into a 120V AC electrical outlet.  
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.  
EXTENDED RUN TIME SETTING  
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
By setting you humidifier to a specific humidity level, you  
are actually also extending the run time. Since the unit will  
turn on and off to maintain the set humidity level, less  
water will be used, so you will need to fill the unit less  
than you would on manual setting.  
Your humidifier is equipped with a technologically  
advanced Digital Humidistat. You can set the humidifier to  
run continuously in manual mode or set the Digital  
Humidistat to your desired humidity setting. The Digital  
Humidistat will automatically turn the humidifier ON or OFF,  
depending on the preset comfort level. The comfort level  
ranges between 35% and 65% relative humidity.  
In addition, if you do not follow the recommended care  
and maintenance instructions, micro-organisms may be  
able to grow in the water within the humidifier’s water  
tank.You must routinely follow the cleaning procedures  
that follow in order to ensure proper, efficient operation of  
your humidifier. Proper maintenance and cleaning is  
essential to the continued performance of your unit and  
the avoidance of algae or bacteria build-up.  
This device complies with Part15 of the FCC Rules.  
Operation is subjected to the following two conditions: (1)  
this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)  
this device must accept any interference received,  
including interference that may cause undesired  
operation.  
You will be able to monitor the life of the filters in your  
humidifier by checking the Filter Monitor Indicator. After  
60 minutes of use, Filter Monitor Indicator will move and  
indicate your filters condition. New filters will register in  
the section reading GOOD filter. After frequent use of  
your humidifier, the Filter Monitor Indicator will let you  
know when the filters need to be changed (see Figure 2).  
USING THE PROGRAMMABLE TIMER  
Digital Humidistat allows the user to program the  
humidifier to come on at a preset time, or turn off after a  
set amount of time.  
MANUAL MODE INSTRUCTIONS  
HOW COOL MIST WORKS  
1. Plug the humidifier into a 120V AC electrical outlet.  
2. The display will show the current room humidity.  
3. To start the unit, push the MODE/OFF button once for  
the HIGH (3) manual setting.

DAILY MAINTENANCE  
Your Bionaire® Cool Mist humidifier draws dry air through  
the rear air intake grill area. This air is then passed  
through a moisture–laden wick filter, which retains the  
minerals and deposits in the water. The resulting moist air  
is directed back into the room from the top air grill.  
SETTING THE OFF TIMER  
When the needle is in the  
CHANGE section, this means the  
proper amount of moisture is not  
getting into your air due to the  
excessive minerals and sediment  
that have become trapped on  
your filters. At this point, you  
should replace your filters. It is important to change your  
filters as indicated to obtain stated performance level.  
1. Be sure the unit is OFF and is disconnected from the  
electrical outlet.  
2. Remove the housing and the reservoir from the  
humidifier and place in sink or tub.
