IMP ORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
When using electrical appliances, basic safety pre-  
cautions should always be followed to reduce the  
risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons,  
including the following:  
15. NEVER tilt, move, or attempt to empty unit while  
it is operating. Shut off and unplug before remov-  
ing the water tank and moving the unit.  
16. This humidifier requires daily and weekly mainte-  
nance to operate appropriately. Refer to daily and  
weekly cleaning procedures.  
17. NEVER use detergents, gasoline, glass cleaner, fur-  
niture polish, paint thinner, or other household  
solvents to clean any part of the humidifier.  
18. Excessive humidity in a room can cause water con-  
densation on windows and some furniture. If this  
happens, turn the humidifier OFF.  
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.  
2. To avoid fire or shock hazard, plug the appliance  
directly into a 120 V AC electrical outlet.  
3. Keep the cord out of heavy traffic areas. To avoid  
fire hazard, NEVER put the cord under rugs, near  
heat  
registers, radiator, stoves, or heaters.  
4. DO NOT place humidifier near heat sources such  
as stoves, radiators, and heaters. Do locate your  
humidifier on an inside wall near an electrical out-  
let. The humidifier should be at least 4" away  
from the wall for best results.  
19. DO NOT use humidifier in an area where humidi-  
ty level is in excess of 50%. Use a hygrometer,  
available at your local hardware store, to measure  
the humidity.  
20. DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust any electrical  
or mechanical functions on this unit. Doing so

Note: DO NOT block air grills.  
Cord and Plug Installation Safety Instructions  
The length of cord used on this appliance was  
selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tan-  
gled 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.

the wall. Moisture could cause damage, particular-  
ly to wallpaper.  
14. Humidifier should be unplugged when not in use.  
THIS PRODUCT IS EQUIPPED WITH A POLARIZED AC  
(Alternating Current)PLUG (a plug having one blade  
w ider than the other). This plug w ill fit into the power  
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into

How COOL Mist w orks  
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
Your GE Brand 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.  
1. Turn the Power Knob to the desired setting (HIGH,  
MED or LOW).  
2. Turn the Humidistat Knob to the highest setting.  
3. When the desired humidity level is reached the  
Humidistat Knob can be set to a lower setting to  
reduce the humidification rate.  
NOTE: Allow up to 30 minutes for the Wick Filter to  
fully absorb water and the unit to produce the maxi-  
mum moisture output.  
4. When the Water Tank is empty and the water in the  
Humidifier Base is almost empty, you need to refill the  
Water Tank. The fan will continue to run to help dry  
the humidifier. Switch off and unplug the unit. Please  
follow the Daily Cleaning instructions before refilling  
the Water Tank.  
5. Refill the Water Tank as directed in the Pre-Operating  
Instructions.  
IMPORTANT: If you do not plan to use the hum idi-  
fier for two or m ore days, m ake sure any residual  
water is drained from the Water Tank, Hum idifier  
Base and the Wick Filter to prevent algae or bacte-  
ria grow th.  
NOTE: This humidification system provides a cool,  
invisible moisture output. It is normal not to see the  
mist.  
NOTE: The recommended humidity level is between  
40%-50%.  
PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
1. Select a location for your humidifier, on a flat surface,  
about 4" away from the wall. Do not place your humid-  
ifier on furniture; a floor location that will not be dam-  
aged by moisture is best.  
2. Be sure the Power Knob is in the OFF position and the  
humidifier is disconnected from the electrical outlet.  
3. Remove the Water Tank by holding the Carry Handle  
and lifting straight upward (see figure 1).  
4. Remove the Humidifier Housing by lifting straight  
upward. Check to see that the Wick Filter is properly in  
place. Replace the Humidifier Housing.  
FILTER MONITOR  
(Located on the top of the Humidifier Housing) will  
let you know when the Wick Filter needs replacing (see  
Figure 1).  
You will be able to monitor the condition of the Wick  
Filter in your humidifier by checking the Filter Monitor  
Indicator. When the unit is off or empty of water the  
Filter Monitor will read in the OFF/FILL position.  
Within 60 minutes of use the Filter Monitor will move  
from the OFF position and indicate your Wick Filter  
condition. A brand new Wick Filter will register in the  
green section reading GOOD filter. After frequent use  
of your humidifier, the Filter Monitor indicator will let  
you know when the Wick Filter should be changed.  
When the needle is in the purple CHANGE section this  
means the proper amount of moisture is not getting  
into your air due to the large amount of minerals and  
sediment that have become trapped in your Wick Filter.  
At this point you should replace your Wick Filter. It is  
important to change your Wick Filter to get the best  
performance from your humidifier.  
FILLING THE WATER TANK  
NOTE:This hum idifier holds about 2.6 gallons of  
water in the Water Tank and Hum idifier Base. The  
hum idifier will produce up to 4 gallons of m ois-  
ture over a 24-Hour period, depending on the  
room hum idity and tem perature.  
1. Be sure the humidifier Power Knob is turned off and  
disconnected from the electrical outlet.  
2. Remove the Water Tank from the Humidifier Base by  
holding the Carry Handle and lifting straight up (see  
figure 1).  
3. Twist off the Tank Cap located on the bottom of the  
Water Tank by turning counter clockwise and fill the  
Water Tank with cool, fresh water.  
Do not fill with warm water as this may cause leaking.  
4. After filling the Water Tank, replace the tank cap by  
firmly turning clockwise and then replace the Water  
Tank on the base. The Water Tank will immediately  
begin to empty into the Humidifier Base.

ment become trapped in the Wick Filter. The harder

Wick Filter. In general, a brown Wick Filter indicates a  
need to replace the Wick Filter.

m oisture to dry indoor air. To get the m ost  
benefit from the hum idifier and avoid prod-  
uct failure, follow all m aintenance instruc-  
tions carefully. If the recom m ended care and
