INTRODUCTION
Your new humidifier adds invisible moisture to your home by moving dry inlet air
through a saturated wick. As air moves through the wick, the water evaporates into
the air, leaving behind any white dust, minerals, or dissolved and suspended solids.
Because the water is evaporated, there is just clean and invisible moist air.
As the evaporative wick traps accumulated minerals from the water, its ability to
absorb and evaporate water decreases. We recommend changing the wick at the
beginning of every season. In hard water areas, more frequent replacement may
be necessary to maintain your humidifier’s efficiency.

HOW YOUR HUMIDIFIER WORKS
Your new evaporative humidifier is designed
to satisfy home humidity requirements
through the principle of evaporation of water
in the air.
Once the wick becomes saturated, air is
drawn in, passes through the wick and
moisture is absorbed into the air. All
evaporation occurs in the humidifier so any
residue remains in the wick.
This natural process of evaporation creates no white dust like some other humidifiers.

NOTES ON LOCATION
:
In order to get the most effective use from your humidifier, it is important to
position the unit where the most humidity is needed or where the moist air will be
circulated throughout the house such as near a cold air return. 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.
Do NOT position the unit directly in front of a hot air duct or radiator. Do NOT
place on soft carpet.
Due to release of cool, moist air from the humidifier, it is best to direct air away
from thermostat and hot air registers. Position humidifier next to an inside wall on
a level place at least 4 inches away from the wall or curtains.
