SET UP  
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 and convenient to an electrical outlet (Fig. 1).  
Place vaporizer where it is out of the reach of children. Make sure cord is  
not in an area where it can be tripped over or pulled on. Be sure that the  
steam outlet is pointed away from any person.  
Place the vaporizer on a water-resistant surface, as water can damage  
®
furniture and some flooring. Duracraft will not accept responsibility for  
property damage caused by water spillage.

FILLING  
1. To remove the Steam Assembly, hold the Base and turn the Steam Assembly  
counter-clockwise then pull up.  
2. Fill the Base with COOL tap water to the indent marked Full Levellocated on  
the back of the unit (Fig. 2). DO NOT USE HOT WATER. Doing so may  
damage the vaporizer.  
3. Replace the Steam Assembly back onto the Base. Turn it clockwise  
to lock in place. Once the Steam Assembly has been positioned, do not  
attempt to move vaporizer. If it has to be moved, unplug it and empty the  
Base first.  
CAUTION: DO NOT PLUG IN THE HUMIDIFIER WITH WET HANDS AS AN  
ELECTRIC SHOCK COULD OCCUR.  
4. Plug the filled vaporizer into a polarized 120V outlet. DO NOT FORCE THE  
POLARIZED PLUG INTO THE OUTLET; it will only fit one way.  
 
OPERATION  
IMPORTANT: When your vaporizer is plugged in, it is ON - however it will take  
time (20-25 minutes) for the vaporizer to heat the water and produce steam.  
The heating process is silent, so the vaporizer will not make any noise until  
the water comes to a boil, at which time you may hear a gentle bubbling or  
boiling sound.  
1. If the Vaporizer does not start producing steam within 25 minutes…  
Your waters mineral content is too low to allow for electrical current flow and  
the water will not come to a boil.  
Unplug and remove the Steam Assembly.  
Add 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda per gallon of water (or 1 packet of  
Duracrafts DuraStart following the directions on the package) to help the  
water come to a boil. Be sure to thoroughly mix the Baking Soda or  
DuraStart with the water in the Base.  
NOTE: Adding too much baking soda or DuraStart can cause boiling and/or  
hot water spurting, which may cause burns.  
2. If the Vaporizer boils excessively, spurts hot water or blows fuses…  
Your waters mineral content is too high.  
Make sure no chemicals have been added to the water. If any chemicals  
were added, turn off and unplug the vaporizer. Empty Base and refill with  
tap water only.  
If no chemicals have been added, turn off and unplug the vaporizer.  
CLean per the cleaning instructions.  
Refill using 1/2 tap water and 1/2 distilled water, which will lower the  
mineral content of your water and prevent excessive boiling.  
When you are finished using the vaporizer, unplug it and clean after  
each use.  
ALWAYS be sure to discard any unused water in the base before storing  
or refilling.  
 
FEATURES  
A U T O - S H U T O F F F E AT U R E :  
The vaporizer will shut off when the water level drops below the bottom of  
the Steam Assembly.  
Refill the Base per the FILLING instructions.  
Once filled, the vaporizer will automatically turn back on.  
M E D I C I N E C U P :  
A medicated vapor can be distributed into the air by using the Medicine Cup at  
the top of the Steam Assembly.

To add medicine to the Medicine Cup:  
1. Unplug the vaporizer and allow at least 10 minutes for the unit to cool.  
2. Carefully add liquid medication; fill cup only halfway (Fig. 3).  
3. After use, clean any residue from the cup.  
WARNING: DO NOT use any liquid medicine other than those specifically rec-  
ommended for use with a steam vaporizer. DO NOT pour medicine directly  
into the water as this may cause excessive boiling or spurting of hot water.  
Honeywell assumes no responsibility for consequences resulting  
from the uses of medication in this vaporizer.

TROUBLE SHOOTING  
Q: I set up the vaporizer, but it isnt making any noise. Is it working?  
A: The heating process is silent, so the vaporizer will not make any noise until  
the water comes to a boil (20-25 minutes), at which time you may hear a  
bubbling or boiling sound.  
Q: I used the vaporizer last night. When I went to refill it this morning, I  
noticed black flecks in the base. Is this normal?  
A: It is normal for mineral deposits to collect at the bottom of the Base. It may  
appear as black flecks and should be rinsed out after every use. This is nor-  
mal and will not affect the operation of the vaporizer if cleaned out daily.  
Q: My vaporizer has been plugged in for 30 minutes and still is not  
producing steam, whats wrong?  
A: It means that your waters mineral content is too low to allow for electrical  
current flow and the water will not come to a boil.  
Unplug and remove the Heating Assembly  
Add 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda per gallon of water (or 1 packet of  
Duracrafts DuraStart following the directions on the package) to help the  
water come to a boil. Be sure to thoroughly mix the Baking Soda or  
DuraStart with the water in the Base.  
Q: My vaporizer is over boiling and spurting hot water, whats wrong?  
A: It means that your waters mineral content is too high.  
Make sure no chemicals have been added to the water. If any chemicals  
were added, turn off and unplug the vaporizer. Empty the water tank and  
refill with tap water only.  
If no chemicals have been added, turn off and unplug the vaporizer.  
Clean per the cleaning instructions.  
Refill using 1/2 tap water and 1/2 distilled water, which lower the  
mineral content of your water and prevent excessive boiling.
