Thank you for purchasing a Honeywell Natural Cool Moisture®Humidifier. If you would like

more information on our full line of products, please visit our website at:

www.honeywell.com/yourhome.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Dry air is pulled through the Natural Cool Moisture®system and a quiet fan blows out

invisible, moisture-balanced air. Unwanted minerals from the water are collected inside the

Natural Cool Moisture®filter. When the unit is running, you will not see or feel a “mist”. You

will know your humidifier is putting moisture into the air as you watch the water level in your

tank decrease throughout the day.

WHAT IS AgION™ANTIMICROBIAL?

Your Honeywell Natural Cool Moisture®filter has been designed using new AgION™

technology which prevents surface growth and migration of mold, fungus, algae and bacteria

in the filter for its life - approximately one season. Keep in mind, depending on your water

quality, mineral deposits can still clog or discolor the filter, affect its life and that of the

humidifier.

MODEL - HCM-3060

Your humidifier is made up of these parts:

Water Tank

INTRODUCTION

HU4131.01 HCM-3060/3060C OM 8/6/01 3:59 PM Page 3

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 was spillage.

WEEKLY CLEANING

HU4131.01 HCM-3060/3060C OM 8/6/01 3:59 PM Page 7

NOTE: Do not attempt to clean the Natural Cool Moisture®filters with any chemical

solutions, doing so will damage the filters.

•AgION™prevents the surface growth and migration of mold, fungus, algae, and

bacteria. It is normal for a filter to discolor from mineral build-up. This will vary

depending on water quality.

•If a Natural Cool Moisture®filter appears to be clogged by hard water or mineral deposits,

soak it in a sink full of cool water for 10 minutes. DO NOT SQUEEZE OR WRING OUT THE

NATURAL COOL MOISTURE®FILTER. Always place filters back in the humidifier wet.

•To prevent mineral deposits use DuraFree®Humidifier Water Softener, part no. AC817, each

time the Water Tank is refilled.

•Treat the Natural Cool Moisture®filters with care. DO NOT squeeze or wring out.

DO NOT clean the filter using any chemical solution.

•Always purchase Honeywell Brand Natural Cool Moisture®filters as the fan motor of this

MAINTAINING A CLEAN HUMIDIFIER

END-OF-THE-SEASON CARE AND STORAGE

HU4131.01 HCM-3060/3060C OM 8/6/01 3:59 PM Page 8

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®filters to be sure they’re wet. If a 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 the HIGH setting should restart the unit.

Q: The humidistat was set according to the manual, but the humidifier never seems to turn

back on. Is something wrong?

A: The humidistat may be set too low. Moving the humidistat knob to the highest setting

should restart the unit. Reset the humidistat following the instructions under FEATURES.

Q: The humidistat was set according to the manual, but the humidifier never seems to turn

off. Is something wrong?

A: The humidistat may be set too high. Reset the Moisture Control knob following the

instructions under FEATURES.

Q: My Natural Cool Moisture®filter is Discoloring. Do I need a new one?

A: Probably not. Since your Natural Cool Moisture®filters have been made with AgION™

technology, the change indicates only a mineral deposit. Soak filters in a sink full of cool

water for 10 minutes and place back in humidifier wet. Some discoloration may remain but

should not affect the humidifier’s performance.

Q: Water only seems to be draining from one tank, is this normal?

A: Yes, water may drain from one tank completely or partially before the second tank starts to

drain. This is normal and does not reduce the ability of the humidifier to put out moisture.
