2. Turn the mode knob to the High setting.
3. Turn the humidistat knob to the highest setting.
USING THE HUMIDISTAT
The humidistat feature allows you to set and maintain the humidity
level you wish for your room. The humidistat is designed to
operate between 30% and 65% relative humidity range. The
recommended setting is 40-45%.
For BCM4505: To maintain this
setting, position the humidistat
(figure 2) knob in the middle posi-
tion.
Turn the knob clockwise as far as
it will turn to achieve the highest
humidistat setting. In this setting,
the humidifier will run constantly.
To lower your desired humidity level, simply turn the knob counter
clockwise to choose your setting.
For BCM4509: To take advantage of the SmartTouch™ Electronic
Humidistat, press the MODE button until the speed is set in
either the HIGH or LOW setting, and the Desired Humidity is
set. When the humidity level rises above the set humidity, the
humidifier will stop. When the humidity level drops below the
set humidity, the humidifier will turn on automatically.
NOTE: When the SmartTouch™ Electronic Humidistat is set,
either the HIGH or LOW power light and the percent humidity
light will remain lit during operation. The SmartTouch™ Humidifier
has memory. This means that when you turn the unit back on,
it will be at the last setting the humidifier was set at.
For BCM4510: The auto setting is designed to operate between
30% and 65% relative humidity range. (The recommended set-
ting is 40-45%.) The auto setting may be used with any of the
three auto speed settings (High, Medium or Low).
To program a specific humidity level in the auto setting, follow
these instructions.
1. Use the mode button to scroll to either Auto/High,
Auto/Medium, or Auto/Low.
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 dis-
play 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 humidifi-
er 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

The length of cord used on this appliance was selected to
reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a
longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary an approved exten-
sion cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension
cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the humid-
ifier. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that
it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be
pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.
HOW YOUR COOL MOISTURE HUMIDIFIER WORKS
Your Bionaire ® Cool Moisture 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.
The resulting moist air is directed back into the room from the
top air grill.
☛ Tip: This humidification system provides a cool, invisible mois-
ture output. It is normal not to see the mist.
PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Be sure the humidifier is switched off and disconnect-
ed from the electrical outlet.
2. 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.
3. Remove the water reservoir,
by holding the reservoir
handle and lifting straight
upwards.
4. Remove the humidifier
housing by holding the
housing support handle
and lifting straight upwards.
Check to see that the wick
filter is properly in place.
Replace the humidifier
housing.
FILLING THE WATER RESERVOIR
5. Twist off the water reservoir cap located on the bottom
of the water reservoir by turning counter clockwise and
fill the water reservoir with cool, fresh water. Do not fill
with warm water as this may cause leaking.
6. After filling the water reservoir, replace the water reser-
voir cap by firmly turning clockwise and then replace
the water reservoir on the base. The water reservoir will
immediately begin to empty into the base.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Plug the power cord into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
