Honeywell HCM-890 - Manual (Page 4)

NOTE: We recommend that the humidifier be disinfected prior to first use.
Please see CLEANING instructions.
• Select a firm, level, flat location — at least six inches (15 cm) from any wall
for proper air flow (Fig. 1).
• Place the humidifier on a water-resistant surface, as water can damage
furniture and some flooring. Honeywell will not accept responsibility for
property damage caused by water spillage.
• Remove the water tank by grasping the handle and pulling straight up
(Fig. 1).
• Lift up on the Motor Housing to remove and set aside (Fig. 2). Remove the
Natural Cool Moisture™ filter from the base before filling the unit with
water. Soak in a sink full of cool water to help reduce mineral build up and
place back in the humidifier while wet. DO NOT SQUEEZE OR WRING
OUT THE NATURAL COOL MOISTURE™ FILTER. To help extend the life of
your filter repeat this step each time you fill your humidifier.
• Turn the water tank upside down so that the fill cap is facing up; unscrew
the fill cap by turning it counter-clockwise and set aside.
• Fill the water tank with COOL tap water (Fig. 3). Distilled water is not
necessary as the water is filtered by the Natural Cool Moisture™ filter.
DO NOT USE HOT WATER
. Doing so may damage the humidifier.
• Replace the fill cap by turning it clockwise . DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
Turn the water tank right-side up.
