Humidifier Operations
Your new Emerson humidifier is designed to
satisfy home humidity requirements through the
principle of evaporation of water into the air.
After water is added to the bottles and posi-
tioned in the humidifier, the filters begin to
soak up the water and become totally saturat-
ed in approximately 30 minutes. Air is drawn
in from the rear of the humidifier and through
the filters by means of two circulation fans. As
air passes through the filters, moisture is
absorbed into the air and then released
through the top of the humidifier. This moist air
is released in the form of vapor. No water
droplets will enter the home. All evaporation
into the air takes place in the humidifier, which
means that the residue left by evaporating
water is not passed into the home, but
remains in the filter.
