THIS PRODUCT IS EQUIPPED WITH A POLARIZED AC (Alternating Current) PLUG (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact qualified personnel to install the proper outlet. DO NOT DEFEAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE OF THIS POLARIZED PLUG IN ANY WAY FEATURES - OPERATION HOW COOL MIST WORKS Your Holmes 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. The resulting moist air is directed back into the room from the top air grill. NOTE: This humidification system provides a cool, invisible moisture output. NOTE: A humidity level below 20% can be unhealthy and uncomfortable. The recommended humidity level is between 40%-50%. CLEANING/MAINTENANCE R E P L A C I N G T H E F I LT E R REPLACING THE FILTER Through normal use, waterborne minerals and sediment become trapped in the wick filter. The harder your water, the greater the amount of minerals in the water, and the more often you will need to change your filter. You will be able to monitor the life of the filter in your humidifier by checking the FilterCheck® Indicator. [. . . ] Let the solution stand for 20 minutes, swishing every few minutes. Empty the tank after 20 minutes, and rinse well with water until the bleach smell is gone. Refill the water tank with cool water; replace the housing and the water tank.
