DO NOT OVER - HUMIDIFY 

MAINTENANCE 

Cold air cannot hold as much moisture as warm air.  
Any cold drafts or cold-faces such as windows and 
doors (including frames and jams) may cause water 
vapor  to  condense  at  these  points.    Also,  if  your 
home  is  well-insulated  and  weather-stripped  but 
lacks  effective  vapor  barriers,  water  may  seep 
through  the  walls  and  ceilings.   This  moisture  may 
condense either inside or outside the walls or in the 
attic.    If  any  of  these  conditions  are  observed,  the 
humidity  level  should  be  reduced  before  water 
damage occurs.

All  power  humidifiers  require  some  mainte-
nance  to  keep  them  operating  at  peak  perfor-
mance.  The BestAir PRO model GH2500 humidi-
fier  has  been  designed  to  simplify  required 
maintenance.

 

1.  Semi-annual or annual replacement of the
     evaporator pad.
2.  An annual cleaning, general inspection, and shut
     down of the unit at the end of the heating season.
3.  The evporative pad should be replaced when it
     starts to look white and chalky.  Replace it with a
     catalog #SC-EP pad.
