wick filter. Filter Monitor (after replacing the wick section) you will be
able to check the life of the filter on your humidifier by checking the
Filter Monitor located on the moisture outlet. When the unit is not in
operation, the Filter Monitor (BCM4505/4509) will also read as OFF.
When the unit is turned on, the Filter Monitor needle will need 60
minutes to read the current filter condition. If the needle reads change
after 60 minutes, then filter replacement is needed. Regular filter
replacement is necessary to ensure optimal humidifier performance.
To replace the wick filter, follow the steps below.
1. Turn the mode knob off and unplug the humidifier from
the electrical outlet.
2. Remove the water reservoir and humidifier housing to access
the base tray.
3. Discard the old wick filter and insert a new wick filter into
the filter brackets found in the base.
4. Replace the humidifier housing and then the water reservoir.
5. Repeat “Operating Instructions” steps listed within.
It will take about 30 minutes for the humidifier to reach maximum
output.
You can obtain your filter model by calling 1-800-253-2764 in North

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Humidifiers provide comfort by adding moisture to dry, heated
indoor air. To get the most benefit from the humidifier and avoid
product misuse, follow all instructions carefully, specifically the
operation, care and maintenance guidelines. Please note that
this is an electrical appliance, and requires attention when in use.
In addition, if you do not follow the recommended care and
maintenance instructions, micro-organisms may be able to
grow in the water within the humidifier’s reservoir.
Daily Maintenance
1. Before cleaning, set the mode to the OFF position and unplug
the unit from the electrical outlet.
2. Lift off the water reservoir and the humidifier housing.
3. Carry the base and the water reservoir to the sink, remove the wick
filter, then drain and rinse the base and water reservoir thoroughly to
remove any sediment and dirt. Wipe clean and dry with a clean cloth
or paper towel.
2. Set the humidifier to the desired room humidity level by pressing the
(+) or (–) buttons, in increments of 5%. If you scroll past the maximum
setting of 65%, the display will automatically loop back to 30%.
3. Now the desired room humidity level is set.
NOTE: When the humidity in the room is less than the level you have
programmed, the humidifier will continue to produce moisture. Once the
room humidity level has been achieved, the humidifier will turn off. When
the room humidity drops below your set level, the unit will automatically
begin producing moisture again.
☛ Depending on the size of your room and your personal comfort,
you will set your humidistat at different levels. If condensation forms
on your windows or walls, or your measured room humidity is above
50%, then turn off your humidifier, or lower your humidistat level.
(Humidity can be measured by the use of a hygrometer, such as
Bionaire ® BT254 or BT400 Digital humidity and temperature monitor.
NOTE: Allow up to 30 minutes for the filter to fully absorb water
and for the unit to produce moisture.
If you do not plan to use the humidifier for two or more days, make
sure any residual water is drained from the water tank, base and wick
filter to prevent algae or bacteria growth.
NIGHTLIGHT INSTRUCTIONS (For BCM4510 Only)
the BCM4510 is equipped with a nightlight which illuminates the control
panel screen in a dark room setting. This nightlight operates on a sensor,
and will illuminate when the room becomes dark. When the room
becomes light, the nightlight feature will automatically turn off. To inacti-
vate the nightlight, simply press the nightlight button on the control
panel. To re-activate the nightlight feature, simply press the light button
again (to see if light is on, place finger over sensor).
REFILLING THE WATER RESERVOIR
When the water reservoir runs out of water, the refill light will illuminate
on the control panel. The fan will continue to run to help dry out the
humidifier. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet, and follow
steps under "Filling the Water Reservoir."
If you do not plan to use the humidifier for two or more days, make
sure any residual water is drained from the water reservoir, base
and wick filter to prevent algae or bacteria growth.
REPLACING THE WICK FILTER
Through normal use, waterborne minerals and sediment become
trapped in the wick filter. The harder your water, the greater the amount
of minerals in the water, and the more often you will need to change your
