USING YOUR HUMIDIFIER
Step 1
1. With Power Knob in the OFF position, plug humidifier into a polarized 120V outlet.
CAUTION: To avoid electric shock, do not plug humidifier into outlet with wet hands.
2. Turn the Power Knob to high (
High (
) setting will provide quicker moisture output. The fan will push more
moisture off the Wicking Filter and into the air. The water level will go down faster than
on the low ( ) setting since more moisture is going into the air.
Low ( ) will provide less moisture output. The fan will run quieter and the Water Tank
will not have to be filled as frequently since less moisture is going into the air.
3. When the Tank is empty, turn off the humidifier and refill it. NOTE: if the humidifier will not
be used for more than a few days, empty the water from the Water Tank and Reservoir and
dry out the filter to prevent growth of bacteria or mold.
NOTE: While the humidifier is operating you will hear the fan running but will NOT see the
moisture output. This is normal for an evaporative humidifier. You may hear a gurgling
sound. This is the water flowing from the Water Tank into the Reservoir and indicates your
humidifier is working properly.
CARING FOR YOUR FILTER
It is recommended you change your Wicking Filter every 30-60 days depending on water
quality and usage. If you have hard water you may need to replace your filter more frequently.
Change your filter if you notice:
• The filter is hard and crusty
• The filter starts to give off an odor
• Moisture output is decreased
Be sure to use only genuine Honeywell Replacement Filters
which are Protec
antimicrobially treated. This helps
®
prevent the migration of mold, algae and bacteria
on the filter.

To check the humidity level in the room, use a humidity monitor
