Console Humidifier HM3500 FILTER# HWF75 FILTER TYPE: WICK Owner's Guide PLEASE READ AND SAVE THESE IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS PLEASE READ AND SAVE THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WHEN USING ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES, ESPECIALLY WHERE CHILDREN ARE PRESENT, YOU SHOULD ALWAYS FOLLOW THESE BASIC PRECAUTIONS TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK AND INJURY TO PERSONS: 1. Read all instructions before using the appliance. To avoid fire or shock hazard, plug the appliance directly into a 120 V AC electrical outlet. Keep the cord out of heavy traffic areas. [. . . ] Two of the 4 wheels are stationary wheels and two are swivel type wheels. The stationary wheels are identified by a flat top surface, while the swivel type are curved and include a small plastic piece on the shaft. See figure 1 for installation location for each type of wheel. DO NOT use any tools to install the wheel because tools may damage the base of the unit. Return the base to the upright position. Choose a location out of reach of children. DO NOT place the humidifier on a finished floor or near furniture which can be damaged by moisture or water. FILLING THE WATER TANKS 1. Remove the two tanks from the base of the humidifier and bring each tank to the faucet. Turn the tanks upside down and twist off the tank caps by turning counter-clockwise. Fill each tank with cool, fresh tap water. NOTE: Adding a water softening agent like Holmes Water Treatment (Model S-1705) to the water will soften mineral deposits and prevent lime and scale build-up. It will also help prolong the life of the wick filter and make cleaning easier. When full, carry each tank to the humidifier and place onto the base (use both hands when carrying each tank). Each tank holds 2. 2 gallons of water, and the base holds 2 gallons of water. WHEN THE TANKS ARE FULL AND PLACED INTO THE BASE, YOU CAN HEAR THE WATER SLOWLY EMPTY INTO THE BASE. When the water stops emptying, remove the tanks and refill each again. The WATER LIMITING feature on the tank cap will prevent the tanks from overflowing into the base. YOU NOW HAVE 2. 2 GALLONS OF WATER IN EACH TANK AND 2 GALLONS OF WATER IN THE BASE OF THE HUMIDIFIER FOR A TOTAL OF 6. 4 GALLONS OF WATER. Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet.
