Product Components
The Bionaire BUL827TGR Ultrasonic Humidifier consists of a base unit, a water tank, and a mist nozzle. The base houses the ultrasonic transducer and control button, while the transparent tank holds the water for mist generation.
Setup

- Fill the Water Tank: Remove the water tank from the base. Unscrew the tank cap and fill the tank with clean, cool tap water. Do not overfill. Securely replace the tank cap.
- Place Tank on Base: Carefully place the filled water tank back onto the humidifier base, ensuring it is seated correctly.
- Connect Power: Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet. The power indicator light will illuminate.

Operating Instructions

- Adjust Mist Output: The humidifier features three mist speed settings. Press the power button repeatedly to cycle through the low, medium, and high mist output settings. The indicator light may change color or intensity to reflect the selected setting (refer to product specific light indicators if available).
- Continuous Operation: The humidifier will operate continuously until the water tank is empty. When the water level is low, the unit will automatically shut off, and the indicator light may change to red or flash.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning is essential for optimal performance and to prevent mineral buildup and bacterial growth.
Daily Maintenance
- Empty the water tank and base daily.
- Rinse the tank and base with fresh water.
- Refill the tank with clean, cool tap water before each use.
Weekly Cleaning
- Unplug the Humidifier: Always disconnect the power before cleaning.
- Clean the Water Tank: Remove the tank and pour out any remaining water. Fill the tank with 1 cup of undiluted white vinegar and let it stand for 20 minutes. Shake vigorously, then empty. Rinse thoroughly with clean water until the vinegar smell is gone.
- Clean the Base: Pour 1 cup of undiluted white vinegar into the base reservoir. Let it stand for 20 minutes. Gently wipe the inside surfaces with a soft cloth or brush to remove mineral buildup. Do not immerse the base in water. Rinse the base reservoir thoroughly with clean water.
- Clean the Transducer: The small ceramic disc (transducer) in the base should be cleaned gently with a soft brush or cotton swab to remove mineral deposits. Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp objects.
- Air Dry: Allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling.
Storage
When storing the humidifier, ensure all parts are clean and dry. Store in a cool, dry place.
