Controls
The humidifier RUN/DRAIN switch is located in the unit low voltage compartment for most Deluxe
models (in the humidifier assembly for models FH599, 600, 739, 740C). This switch should be in the
RUN position when the humidifier is in normal operation; it should be in the DRAIN position when a
manual drain for service is required. The electronic control board for the humidifier is located in the
same area as the humidifier RUN/DRAIN switch. When the main unit is energized, power is available
to the humidifier circuits.
