OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

  • THIS APPLIANCE IS INTENDED FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY!
  • WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
  • NEVER ATTEMPT to disassemble or alter the product in any way not instructed by this manual. Shock, fire, or bodily injury may occur.

DO NOT OVER-HUMIDIFY

  • DO NOT OVER-HUMIDIFY. The suggested level for the best health benefit is 50%. Some units can be set for desired humidity ranges from 20 to 90%, but care should be taken not to over- humidify, which will be dependent on both the construction of your home and the outside weather conditions.
  • DO NOT ALLOW WATER TO CONDENSE ON WALLS, FLOORS, OR WINDOWS as water damage could result. If you see these conditions occur, lower the desired humidity level on the humidifier or turn the unit off. Graco Children’s Products Inc. will not be responsible for damage caused by water.

BEFORE FIRST USE

  • Be sure to remove all packing materials. Choose a flat, level, water-resistant location for the humidifier that will allow for good air circulation and that is not accessible to children.
  • DO NOT place the humidifier where it or its cord presents a tripping or stumbling hazard, or where the air vents are blocked.

Assembly

NOTE: Your Graco humidifier is designed for easy use and maintenance. Make sure that the water tray and filter are properly installed before filling the tank and operating the humidifier.

DO NOT USE THE HUMIDIFIER WITHOUT THE FILTER IN PLACE!

Selecting the Proper Location

To prevent the risk of injury or damage to the humidifier and furnishings and provide the best possible performance of your humidifier, follow the placement guidelines below:

FIG 3 Selecting the Proper Location.JPG

To Assemble

Insert the water tray into the humidifier base. Be sure that it is securely seated in the indent in the base.

Place the filter on the water tray as shown.

Filling Water Tank

Remove the filler cap on the bottom of the tank by turning it counterclockwise until the UNLOCK arrows line up with the ridges on the tank.

Filter Tip!
To prolong the life of the filter, it is recommended that you turn over the filter each time you fill the water tank. Replace the filter when it displays mildew or becomes stiff and non-absorbent.

Fill the tank with COOL tap water. DO NOT USE HOT WATER. Be sure to keep the tank free of debris.

NOTE: Using distilled or deionized water will prolong the life of the filter. Never place oils, scents, or perfumes in the water tank.

Replace the filler cap and turn clockwise until the LOCK arrows line up with the ridges on the tank opening.
Return the tank to an upright position. When carrying the tank, use the carry handle and support the tank from the other side.

NOTE: Always make sure the filler cap is locked and the gasket is in place before inverting water tank.

Attaching Water Tank to Base

Lower the tank into place until it is properly seated, using the fan enclosure and the base to align the tank.

IMPORTANT! Never pour water into or allow water to splash into air intake or exhaust grilles.

NOTE: Some water will flow out of the tank and into the water tray when the tank is in position.

CAUTION: Once the humidifier has been filled, do not attempt to tilt or move it. If it is necessary to move the humidifier, make sure it is unplugged and remove the water tank first.

Plugging in the Humidifier

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, never plug in the humidifier while your hands are wet!

Once the humidifier has been assembled and placed in its final location, and the tank has been filled, plug the humidifier into a wall outlet.

NOTE: The polarized plug will only fit in one direction—DO NOT try to force the plug! If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.

Setting the Controls

1. Fan Speed Knob
2. Power On Indicator – lights when unit is on.

Setting the fan speed:
Turn the fan speed knob to the desired setting. To increase the humidity in a room more quickly, set the knob to HIGH. For quiet, nighttime operation or for a more gradual increase, set the knob to QuietMist™.

Indicator light
The power on indicator will light to indicate that the humidifier is on.

Maintenance and Cleaning

The evaporative, wick-type humidifier adds moisture to the air in the form of water vapor by using a fan to force air through a moistened-filter medium.

To ensure the proper and efficient operation of your humidifier, the following cleaning and maintenance procedures must be followed.

Failure to follow the recommended care and maintenance instructions could lead to a buildup of micro-organisms, including algae, bacteria, and mildew, which may lead to respiratory or other ailments in some individuals.

To reduce the risk of electrical shock:

  • Always unplug before cleaning.
  • Do not immerse product in water or other liquid.

Daily Maintenance:

  1. Turn off the humidifier and unplug it from electrical outlet.

  2. Lift off water tank and remove filter.

  3. Remove the water tank and tray and carry them to the sink. Pour any remaining water into the sink.

  4. Rinse the water tray and tank thoroughly to remove any dirt or sediment. Wipe clean, then dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.

  5. Reinstall water tray and filter, and refill water tank with cool tap water as instructed on pages 16-19.
    NOTE: To prolong the life of the filter, it is recommended that you turn over the filter each time you fill the water tank.

  6. Wipe the fan enclosure, control panel, and cord with a damp cloth or sponge.

Weekly Cleaning:

  1. Turn off the humidifier and unplug it from electrical outlet.
  2. Lift off the fan enclosure and remove the filter.
  3. Remove the water tank and tray and carry them to the sink. Pour any remaining water into the sink.
  4. To remove scale caused by hard water deposits and to clean the tank and water tray, these parts can be either cleaned in a dishwasher or washed by hand.
  5. Inspect the filter each week. If it becomes hard to the touch, or shows discoloration (caused by mineral deposits or mold/mildew buildup), it should be replaced. See page 40 for information about ordering a replacement filter.
  6. After cleaning and drying all parts, follow the instructions on pages 16-20 to reassemble the humidifier.
    If the humidifier will not be used for at least two weeks, see the “Storing the Humidifier” section.

Preferred Cleaning Method

Tip!
If the water tank won’t stand up in your dishwasher, try moving the silverware basket to another area in the dishwasher and place the tank in the silverware basket recess.

(Cleaning in a dishwasher)
The parts shown on the left are dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning.
These parts are a transparent smoke color for easy identification.

NOTES:

  • Always wash humidifier parts separately from dishes.
  • Always use a heated water wash cycle.
  • If your dishwasher has a heated dry cycle, it should be turned OFF.
  • Do not use rinse aid while cleaning humidifier parts.
  • ALWAYS remove the filler cap from the water tank before placing the tank in the dishwasher.
  1. Place the filler cap in the dishwasher’s silverware basket.
    This small part must be secured in the silverware basket to prevent it from being damaged by the dishwasher.

  2. Place water tank in the dishwasher with the tank opening facing down if possible. This position will trap the least amount of water in the tank.

Alternate Cleaning Method

Cleaning by hand
To remove mineral deposits:

  1. Partially fill the water tray with a solution of one gallon water and 8 ounces undiluted white vinegar.

  2. Gently swirl around the tank every few minutes to wet all inside surfaces.
    Allow to stand for 20 minutes, then clean all interior surfaces with a soft brush.

  3. Dampen a soft cloth and wipe out entire tray to remove scale.

  4. Rinse thoroughly with clean warm water to remove any remaining scale and vinegar/water solution.

To clean the tank:

  1. Fill the tank with one gallon of water and one teaspoon of chlorine bleach.
  2. Replace the filler cap, and let the solution stand for 20 minutes, swirling it around the tank every few minutes to wet all inside surfaces.
  3. Empty the tank, rinse tank and filler cap thoroughly with water until no bleach smell is noticeable. Dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.

Storing the Humidifier

If the humidifier will not be used for at least two weeks:

  1. Unplug the humidifier.
  2. Empty the water tank and water tray.
  3. Discard the filter. DO NOT leave it in the humidifier. To order a new filter, see page 40.
  4. Follow the cleaning instructions for weekly maintenance.
  5. Make sure all parts are completely dry. DO NOT leave any water in the humidifier when storing it.
  6. Place the humidifier in the original box and store in a cool, dry place.
  7. Clean the humidifier and install the new filter before using it again.

Troubleshooting

The following section provides the solutions to many common problems and questions. If your humidifier is not working correctly, review these solutions first; it may save you a phone call. If your problem is still not solved after reviewing this guide, call our toll-free customer service number, listed on the back cover of this manual.

The Humidifier Will Not Turn On

  • Is the humidifier turned on?
  • Is the humidifier plugged into a powered outlet?

The Tank Leaks

  • Is the filler cap gasket in place? If not, press it into the groove around the tank fill opening. If the gasket seal is missing or damaged, call the customer service number on the back cover to order a replacement gasket. Do not use the humidifier without the gasket in place.
  • Is the filler cap locked tightly? Make sure that the “LOCKED” arrows line up with the ridges on the fill neck.
  • Is something trapped under the edge of the rubber seal in the center of the filler cap? Check for debris under the edge of the seal, or for damage to the seal. If the seal is damaged, a replacement seal can be ordered by calling the customer service number on the back cover.

FIG 12 The Tank Leaks.JPG

The Tank Is Full But the Tray Does Not Fill

  • Is the cord or another object trapped under the tank? Make sure that the tank is properly seated on the base and that the power cord is routed correctly. If the tank will not seat properly, see “Fan Enclosure or Tank Does Not Fit on Base.”

The Filler Cap Is Difficult to Remove

  • Sometimes a vacuum can form in the tank, especially if it has not been seated on the base for a long period of time. Press the button in the center of the filler cap to relieve the vacuum.
  • Apply 100% pure petroleum jelly to the filler cap gasket. Wipe off any excess.

Fan Enclosure or Tank Does Not Fit on Base
