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:

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.

5. NEVER place humidifier in an area where it is

accessible to children. NEVER use humidifier in a

closed room,

particularly where a child may be sleeping, resting,

or playing (a closed room may result in excessive

humidity).

6. WARNING: Do not attempt to refill humidifier

without first unplugging the unit from it’s electri-

cal outlet. Failure to heed this warning may cause

personal injury. Be sure to pull the plug and not

the cord.

7. Never place anything over moisture outlet when

the unit is running.

8. NEVER drop or insert any object into any open-

ings.

9. DO NOT operate any appliance with a damaged

cord or plug, after the appliance malfunctions, or

if it has been dropped or damaged in any manner.

Return appliance to manufacturer for examina-

tion, electrical or mechanical adjustment, or

repair.

10. Use appliance only for intended household use as

described in this manual. Any other use not rec-

ommended by the manufacturer may cause fire,

electric shock, or injury to persons. The use of

attachments not recommended may cause hazards.

11. DO NOT use outdoors.

12. Always place humidifier on a firm, flat, level sur-

face. A waterproof mat or pad is recommended for

under the humidifier. NEVER place it on a rug or

carpet, or on a

finished floor that may be damaged by exposure to

water or moisture.

13. DO NOT allow the Moisture Outlet to directly face

the wall. Moisture could cause damage, particular-

ly to wallpaper.

14. Humidifier should be unplugged when not in use.

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.

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.

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

will void your warranty. The inside of the unit con-

tains no user serviceable parts. All servicing

should be performed by qualified personnel only.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

INSTRUCTIONS

Humidifiers provide comfort by adding

moisture to dry indoor air. To get the most

benefit from the humidifier and avoid prod-

uct failure, follow all maintenance instruc-

tions carefully. If the recommended care and

How COOL Mist works

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.

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.

FILLING THE WATER TANK

NOTE: This humidifier holds about 2.6 gallons of

water in the Water Tank and Humidifier Base. The

humidifier will produce up to 4 gallons of mois-

ture over a 24-Hour period, depending on the

room humidity and temperature.

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.

5. Plug the power cord into a 120V AC electrical outlet.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

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 humidi-

fier for two or more days, make sure any residual

water is drained from the Water Tank, Humidifier

Base and the Wick Filter to prevent algae or bacte-

ria growth.

STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

If your humidifier will not be in use for two

days or more, or at the end of the season

follow these instructions.

1. Clean and dry the humidifier thoroughly as per the

Weekly Maintenance instructions.

2. Let the humidifier dry completely before storing.

Do not store with water inside the Humidifier Base.

3. Do not store with the Tank cap in place.

4. Throw away the Wick Filter. Do not store with Wick

Filter in place.

5. Store in a cool dry location.

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.
