Introduction of Honeywell Cool Mist Humidifier HEV355C

HOW DOES IT WORK? GERM FREE COOL MIST SYSTEM
Once the filled water tank is in place, water is delivered to the UV and wicking systems. When the unit is on, the water moves very slowly past the UV system. This is ample time to destroy germs, fungus and mold that may be present in the water. The water is then delivered to the filter/wick. This saturated wick not only filters the air, but also provides moisture to the humidifier fan, which in turn, delivers germ free* moisture to the room.

Your humidifier is made up of these parts:

Honeywell Cool Mist Humidifier HEV355C Troubleshooting

I hear the fan turning, but I don’t see any mist. Is my humidifier operating properly?
Dry air is pulled through the 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.
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.
First, check the 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. Also verify the upper enclosure and water tank are properly seated.
My filter has turned light brown and rust colored. Do I need a new filter?
Probably not. Since your filter has been made with Protec™ antimicrobial 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.
