IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS  
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 120V AC electrical outlet.

hazard, NEVER put the cord under rugs or near heat  
registers.  
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).

unplugging the unit from its electrical outlet. Failure to  
heed this warning may cause personal injury. Be sure to  
unplug the unit by pulling on the plug and not the cord.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
MODEL BCM655-CN  
Your humidifier is equipped with a technologically  
advanced Digital Humidistat. You can set the humidifier to  
run continuously in manual mode or set the Digital  
Humidistat to your desired humidity setting. The Digital  
Humidistat will automatically turn the humidifier ON or  
OFF, depending on the preset comfort level. The comfort  
level ranges from 30% and 65% relative humidity.  
NOTE: When setting the Digital Humidistat, there will be  
a 2-minute delay before the unit turns on. This allows for  
the most accurate humidity reading.  
NOTE: DO NOT block air inlet or outlet.  
Cord and Plug Installation Safety Instructions  
NOTE: There is a delayed reaction in the motor designed  
to prevent the motor from turning on and off frequently  
due to changing humidity levels. There is a 2-minute  
delay after the unit reaches its set humidity level before it  
will turn on again. It may be longer if the humidity level  
remains above the set humidity, but there will always be  
at least a 2-minute delay when the humidity level reaches  
the desired setting.  
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.  
MANUAL MODE INSTRUCTIONS  
1. Plug the humidifier into a 120V AC electrical outlet.

Frequently Asked Questions  
By setting your humidifier to a specific humidity level, you  
are actually also extending the run time. Since the unit  
will turn on and off to maintain the set humidity level, less  
water will be used, so you will need to fill the unit less  
than you would on manual setting.  
Question  
What are the variables that  
affect run time?  
Answer  
The estimated run time for this humidifier is based on average  
room conditions. The actual run time of your humidifier is  
dependent on numerous variables such as:
