How Your Humidifier Works
Your new humidifier is designed to satisfy home humidity requirements through the
principle of evaporation of water in the air.
Once the filter becomes saturated, air is drawn in, passes through the filter and
moisture is absorbed into the air. All evaporation occurs in the humidifier so any
residue remains in the filter. This natural process of evaporation virtually eliminates
white dust.
Once removed from its carton,
remove all packing materials.
Verify the filter is properly installed
(See page 10).
Step 1. Location
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk
of injury, fire or damage to
humidifier, use only cleaners
specifically recommended for
humidifiers. Never use
flammable, combustible or
poisonous materials to clean
your humidifier. To reduce the
risk of scalds and damage to
humidifier, never put hot water
in humidifier.
WARNING
: For your own safety, do not use humidifier if any parts are
damaged or missing.
Selecting a Location
Place humidifier on a flat level surface;
take extra care in leveling when placing
the unit on carpet. Position the humidifier
where the most humidity is needed or
where the most air will be circulated
throughout the house such as near a cold
air return.
Getting Your
Humidifier Up
and Running
Moist air (humidity) produced will
disperse into the whole house, but
the area closest to the unit will
have the highest humidity. If the
unit is positioned close to a
window, condensation may form
on the window pane. If this occurs
the unit should be repositioned in
another location.

Fan running
continuously.
•
SET humidity level is 65%.
•

reached 1% or more above SET
humidity level.
•
A Set humidity percentage of 65%
operates fan continuously. Adjust
SET level between 25%-60%.
•
Continue to run until desired
humidity level is achieved. This
may take up to 48 hours initially.
Poor evaporation of
water.
•
CHECK FILTER message
flashing.
•
Mineral buildup on filter.
•
Change to a fresh new filter.
•
NOTE: Local water purity varies
from area to area.
