Honeywell HCM-2051 - Manual (Page 9)

Q: I hear the fan turning, but I don’t see any mist. Is my humidifier operating
properly?
A: Dry air is pulled through the Natural Cool Moisture ® system and a fan disperses invisible,
moisture balanced air. There is no “mist” emitted. When operating normally you will feel
only cool air coming from the unit. Monitor the water level in your Tank/ Base. If you
notice a decrease in the Water Tank over 24 hours then the unit is operating normally.
Q: My unit has been running for several hours. I hear the fan spinning, but I do not notice
the water level in the tank decreasing.
A: First, check the Natural Cool Moisture ® filter to ensure it is wet. If the pad appears dry,
remove it from the Base and gently rinse under cool water. Reposition wet filter in the
Base. You may also want to note the current moisture level in your home. If the humidity
level is over 60% the unit will not put out much moisture as your air is already saturated.
Q: The humidifier is not running (the fan is not even spinning), but all (or some) of the lights
are on.
A: If the Desired Humidity light is ON: The Moisture Control knob may be set too low. Moving
the Moisture Control knob to No. 9 should restart the unit.
If the Refill light is ON: The humidifier is out of water. Refill the Water Tank and the
humidifier should restart.
Q: The Moisture Control knob was set according to the manual, but the humidifier never
seems to turn back on. Is something wrong?
A: The Moisture Control knob may be set too low. Moving the Moisture Control knob to No. 9
should restart the unit. Reset the Moisture Control knob following the instructions under
FEATURES.
Q: The Moisture Control knob was set according to the manual, but the humidifier never
seems to turn off. Is something wrong?
A: The Moisture Control knob may be set too high. Reset the Moisture Control knob following
the instructions under FEATURES.
Q: My filter has changed color. Do I need a new filter?
A: Probably not. Since your filter has been made with AgION™ technology the change in
color indicates only a mineral deposit. Soak filter in a sink full of cool water to help break
up deposits. The discoloration may remain but will not affect the humidifier’s
performance.
