Safety Precautions
IMPORTANT:
Please read these precautions before
installing the Skuttle Under Duct Humidifier. Skuttle Mfg.
Co. assumes no responsibility under warranty if the user
and/or installer do not follow directions found in this
manual.
Do not install a humidifier where the heating temperatures will exceed
180°F (82°C). Excessively high temperatures will damage your
humidifier, possibly resulting in humidifier overflow and water damage
to the home.
Do not install a humidifier where the surrounding temperature may be
32°F (0°C) or colder. Freezing water will damage the humidifier and
burst the supply pipe, resulting in damage to the home.
Do not cut or drill into any air conditioning or electrical accessories
during installation of the humidifier.
DANGER:
Blindness can occur if refrigerant comes in
contact with your eyes; electrocution is possible if you
touch a live electrical wire.
When the humidifier is in a finished basement or any area where water
damage could occur, be sure to connect the overflow assembly to an
adequately sized drain.
For above-ceiling installation, always install a drain pan plumbed to a
suitable drain.
Although you may prefer a humidity level which is in the “high” range
—particularly when colder outdoor temperatures create drier indoor
conditions—it’s possible that you cannot maintain this setting in your
home. For example, upper levels of humidity cannot be maintained in
homes which do not have reasonably well insulated walls, windows
and doors. In a poorly insulated home, these areas may accumulate
condensation, eventually resulting in damage to the home.
See “How to Operate Your Humidifier” (page 16) and “FAQs about
IAQ” (page 24).
The installation, wiring and plumbing of your humidifier must comply
with local codes, ordinances and regulations.
