HCM-300T_HCM-310T_OM.qxd 5/22/06 5:56 PM Page 2 HOW IT WORKS HCM-300T HCM-310T / HCM-315T Quiet Care Technology - Dry air is pulled through the humidifier and the   QuietCare™ fan blows out invisible, moisture- balanced air. Unwanted minerals and bacteria from the water are trapped inside the 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 the water level decreases in the tank throughout the day. Protec™ Antimicrobial Treated Filter - Your filter has been treated with Protec™   antimicrobial which helps prevent surface growth and migration of mold, mildew, algae, fungus and odor-causing bacteria in the filter for its life - approximately 1-3 months*. Keep in mind, depending on your water quality, mineral deposits can still clog or discolor the filter, affecting its life and that of the humidifier. Air Washing Technology - Unique air washing system which helps "wash the  air as it humidifies." The unique pre-filter in combination with an ionizer helps capture dust, dirt, and pollen while freshening the air**. UV Water Sanitizing Technology - The UV germicidal bulb located inside the main   housing of the humidifier shines on the water passing through the chamber. This technology reduces the likelihood of harmful microorganisms***. ** The antimicrobial agent contained in the filter is intended to prolong filter life only by inhibiting the growth of unsightly mold, mildew and algae, as well as controlling odor from odor causing bacteria. The antimicrobial in the filter does not protect the user or others against bacteria, germs, viruses or other disease causing organisms. Always follow manufacturer's instructions regarding cleaning, maintenance and service of your humidifier. ** From the air that passes through the pre-filter. Also note the pre-filter may slightly decrease humidity output. *** Based on independent testing, report 3095045-01. Results are based on microbial reduction rate testing performed using tap water in the water tray. The following listed microorganism growth reduction was maintained after 2 hours of continuous exposure to the ultraviolet light in the humidifier. Bacteria: Escheria Coli - 99% Pseudomonas fluorescens - 99% Mold: Aspergillus niger - 99% Fungus: Penecillium pinophilum - 99% Virus: MS2 - 99% 2
