Holmes HM1700 사용자 설명서

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions

should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric

shock, and injury to persons, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. To avoid fire or shock hazard, plug the appliance 

directly into a 120 V AC electrical outlet.

3. Keep the cord out of heavy traffic areas.  To avoid 

fire hazard, NEVER put the cord under rugs, near 

heat registers, radiator, stoves, or heaters.

4. DO NOT place humidifier near heat sources such as

stoves, radiators, and heaters.  Do locate your humidifier

on an inside wall near an electrical outlet.  The humidifier

should be at least 4" away from the wall for best results.

5. NEVER place humidifier in an area where it is accessible

to children.  NEVER use humidifier in a closed room, 

particularly where a child may be sleeping, resting, or

playing (a closed room may result in excessive humidity).

6. WARNING: Do not attempt to refill humidifier without first

unplugging the unit from it’s electrical outlet.  Failure to

heed this warning may cause personal injury.  Be sure to

pull the plug and not the cord.

7. Never place anything over moisture outlet when 

the unit is running.

8. NEVER drop or insert any object into any openings.
9. DO NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cord 

or plug, after the appliance malfunctions, or if it has 

been dropped or damaged in any manner.  Return 

appliance to manufacturer for examination, electrical 

or mechanical adjustment, or repair.

10. Use appliance only for intended household use 

as described in this manual.  Any other use not 

recommended by the manufacturer may cause 

fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.  The use 

of attachments not recommended or sold by The 

Holmes Group, Inc. may cause hazards.

11. DO NOT use outdoors.
12. Always place humidifier on a firm, flat, level surface. 

A waterproof mat or pad is recommended for under 

the humidifier.  NEVER place it on a rug or carpet, 

or on a finished floor that may be damaged by 

exposure to water or moisture.

13. DO NOT allow the Moisture Outlet to directly face 

the wall.  Moisture could cause damage, particularly 

to wallpaper.

14. Humidifier should be unplugged when not in use.

15. NEVER tilt, move, or attempt to empty unit while it is

operating.  Shut off and unplug before removing the

water tank and moving the unit.

16. This humidifier requires daily and weekly maintenance 

to operate appropriately.  Refer to daily and weekly

cleaning procedures.

17. NEVER use detergents, gasoline, glass cleaner, furniture

polish, paint thinner, or other household solvents to clean

any part of the humidifier.

18. Excessive humidity in a room can cause water 

condensation on windows and some furniture.  

If this happens, turn the humidifier OFF.

19. Do not use humidifier in an area where humidity 

level is in excess of 50%.  Use the included 

hygrometer, or purchase one at your local 

hardware store or through Holmes, to measure 

the humidity.

20. DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust any electrical or

mechanical functions on this unit.  Doing so will void 

your warranty.  The inside of the unit contains no user

serviceable parts.  All servicing should be performed 

by qualified personnel only.

21. Never place housing under water flow or immerse 

in liquids.

22. Do not plug in the cord with wet hands: electric shock

could result.

23. Do not pour water in any openings other than 

the water tank.

24. To prevent damage to surfaces, do not place humidifier

under overhanging surfaces.

Consumer Safety Information
Note:  This is an electrical appliance and requires attention

when in use.
Note:  If moisture forms on the walls or windows of the 

room, turn off the humidifier.  The room already has plenty

of humidity and additional moisture may cause damage.
Do not block air inlet or outlet.
Cord and Plug Installation Safety Instructions
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 extension cord may be used.  The electrical 

rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater 

than the rating of the humidifier.  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.

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 filter.
You will be able to monitor the life of the filter in your humidifier by

checking the Filter Check™ Indicator.  When the unit is off, the Filter

Check™ Indicator will read in the OFF position.  After 60 minutes of

use, Filter Check™ Indicator (refer to fig. 3 for close-up of indicator)

will move from the OFF position

and indicate your filter condition.  

A brand new filter will register in

the blue section reading GOOD 

filter.  After frequent use of your

humidifier, the Filter Check™

Indicator will let you know when

the filter needs to be changed.
When the needle is in the red (CHANGE) section, this means the

proper amount of moisture is not getting into your air due to the

excessive minerals and sediment that have become trapped on your

filter.  At this point, you should replace your filter.  It is important to

change your filter as indicated to obtain stated performance level.
To replace the filter, follow the steps below.
1. Push the 1 Touch button for 2 seconds to turn the unit OFF 

and disconnect from the electrical outlet.

2. Remove the tank and main housing to access the base tray.
3. Discard the old filter and follow weekly cleaning instructions.
4. Insert a new filter into the filter support in the base.
5. Replace the main housing and then the tank.
6. Repeat Operating Instruction steps.
It will take about 30 minutes for the humidifier to reach 

maximum output.
You can obtain a new filter by calling 1-800-5-HOLMES in the USA 

or by visiting your nearest retailer or authorized service center.

Humidifiers provide comfort by adding moisture to dry indoor 

air.  To get the most of the benefit from the humidifier and 

avoid product failure, follow all maintenance instructions

are not followed, micro-organisms may be able to grow in the 

water within the humidifier.

1. Be sure the humidifier is switched OFF and disconnected from 

the electrical outlet.

2. Lift off the tank and the housing of the humidifier. Remove filter

and place in sink or tub as the filter will release water when not 

in the humidifier. 

3. Carry the base and the tank to the sink, remove the wick filter,

then drain and rinse the base and tank thoroughly to remove 

any sediment and dirt. Wipe clean and dry with a clean soft cloth

or paper towel. (DO NOT use metal cleaning utensils or abrasive

cleaners)

4. Put the filter back in the filter supports, replace the housing, then

refill the tank with cool tap water as instructed in filling the water

tank instructions.

Your Holmes Cool Mist 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 in the water.  

The resulting moist air is directed back into the room from the 

top air grill.  
NOTE: This humidification system provides a cool, invisible moisture

output.  It is normal not to see the mist.
NOTE: A humidity level below 20% can be unhealthy and 

uncomfortable.  The recommended humidity level is between 

40%-50%.

1. Be sure the humidifier is switched OFF and disconnected 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 humidifier on furniture;

a floor location that will not be damaged by moisture is best.

3. Remove the water tank by holding the tank handle and lifting

straight upward (see figure 2). 

4. Remove the main housing by lifting straight upward. Check 

to see that the wick filter is properly in place. Replace the 

humidifier housing.

FILLING THE WATER TANK

NOTE: This humidifier holds about 1 gallon of water in the tank 

and humidifier base. The humidifier will produce up to 2.0 gallons 

of moisture over a 24-Hour period, depending on the room humidity

and temperature.
1. Be sure the humidifier is switched OFF and disconnected from 

the electrical outlet.

2. Remove the tank from the base by holding the handle 

and lifting straight up (see figure 2).

3. Twist off the tank cap located on the bottom of the tank 

by turning counter clockwise and fill the water tank with 

cool, fresh water. 

4. After filling the tank, replace the tank cap by firmly turning 

clockwise and then replace the water tank on the base.  

The tank will immediately begin to empty into the base.

5. Plug the power cord into a 120V AC electrical outlet.  

1. Move the Humidity Control Knob to the HI position.  Move the 

Humidity Control knob to the LO setting to lower the humidification 

rate.  Allow up to 30 minutes for the filter to fully absorb water 

and the unit to produce the maximum moisture output.

NOTE: We recommend the use of the hygrometer which you can 

purchase by calling 1-800-5-HOLMES.  A humidity level below 20%

can be unhealthy and uncomfortable.  The recommended humidity

level is between 40% and 50%.
2. When the water tank is empty, and the base is almost empty,

you need to refill the tank.  The fan will continue to run to help 

dry the humidifier.  Shut off and unplug the unit.  Please follow 

the Daily Cleaning Instructions.  Refill the tank as directed in 

Pre-operating Instructions.

3. Make sure the unit is switched OFF, then plug into the electrical 

outlet.  Turn the power ON.

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.

If your humidifier will not be in use for two days or more, or at the 

end of the season follow these instructions.
1. Clean and dry the humidifier thoroughly as per the Weekly

Maintenance instructions above.

2. Let the humidifier dry completely before storing.  

Do not store with water inside the base. 

3. Do not store with the reservoir cap in place.
4. Throw away the wicking filter.  Do not store with wick filter in place.
