Frequently Asked Questions Question Answer The estimated run time for this humidifier is based on average room conditions. The actual run time of your humidifier is dependent on numerous variables such as: Air exchange in the room where the humidifier is placed. Room construction of the room where the humidifier is placed. Temperature of the room where the humidifier is placed. Humidity levels in the room where the humidifier is placed. Movement of occupants and the opening and closing of doors in the room where the humidifier is placed. Home furnishings in the room where the humidifier is placed. • How do I remove film See Daily Maintenance instructions. on water tank? Regular cleaning is recommended. • What are the variables that affect run time? • How can I extend the run time? Run your unit on the lowest setting. If your unit has electronics, set it to your desired humidity level. The unit will turn on and off, which will extend the run time. Fill the tank all the way full, place it on the base, let the water empty into the base until it stops bubbling, then refill the tank full again. This ensures maximum water capacity and will extend run time.

HOW YOUR WARM MIST HUMIDIFIER WORKS Your Bionaire® Warm Mist Humidifier is designed to allow the proper amount of water to flow out of the tank and into the Heating Chamber where the Electronic Thermal Control Heating Element warms the water. Air is drawn in through the grill openings located in the back of the unit and mixed with steam in the misting chamber. The warm mist is then dispersed out of the top of the misting chamber through the outlet grill and into the room. NOTE: A humidity level below 20% can be unhealthy and uncomfortable. The recommended humidity level is between 40%-50%. the humidifier.
