TOOLS NEEDED
1) This Humidifier is intended for use on forced air circulation warm
air furnaces, as well as multi-fuel furnaces where the temperatures do
not exceed 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Excessive temperatures will
damage your Humidifier and possibly cause an overflow condition
and water damage to your home.
2) Do not install a Humidifier where surrounding temperatures may be
32°F or colder. Freezing water will damage your Humidifier and
burst the supply pipe, resulting in home damage.
3) The installation, wiring and plumbing of the humidifier must comply
with local codes, ordinances and regulations.
) 4) Do not cut or drill into any air conditioning or electrical accessories
during installation.
5) Make sure all water connections are properly installed or water
damage could occur.
6) Do not allow the Drain Tubing or Water Supply Tubing to touch any
heated surface or sharp edges. Make certain the Drain Tubing is
placed in a drain so there is no resistance to the flow of the
discharged water.
7) Below are the recommended settings for your humidity control.
Setting your humidistat higher than the listed setting could cause
condensation that would damage your home. If excessive moisture
appears on windows or walls, reduce humidity setting enough to
eliminate condensation. If the situation continues, turn off water
valve until condensation is gone.
READ ENTIRE INSTRUCTIONS
CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING
1) Reference the back page for the names and descriptions of
each part and component mentioned in the instructions.
2) The Humidifier can be installed on either the arm air supply
plenum
or
the cold air return plenum.
When the humidifier is activated, the solenoid valve opens and
allows the water supply into the Distribution Tray at the top of
the humidifier. The water is then evenly channeled onto the
evaporative pad inside the cabinet, where the heated air passes
through and becomes humidified. This moist air is then
distributed throughout your home by the air circulation of your
central heating system. Any unevaporated water from the pad,
then flows through the drain tube into a floor drain. This self -
cleaning design washes away any minerals left behind and
reduces the maintenance on the unit itself.
NOTES:
GENERAL INFORMATION
The lOHF Flow- Thru Humidifier is designed to humidify the
heated air that your furnace produces based on your selected
humidity level for your home. When your furnace blower
comes "on", the humidifier is activated and remains "on" until
your furnace blower turns "off”, or your home reaches its
desired humidity level.
3) The installation instructions are for the 10 HP Humidifier,
which comes fully assembled, with the outlet to the
RIGHT.
Conversion so the outlet is to the LEFT, can simply be made
by inverting the Humidifier, and reversing the positions of the
a) Solenoid Valve connection, b) Distribution Tray, c) the
Drain Pan and d) Evaporator Pad (so black mark is at top).
4)
The initial adjustment period for the desired humidity level
in your home can take up to 3 weeks since furniture, drapes,
carpeting, houseplants, woodwork etc., will absorb the newly
produced moisture as well.
