WARNING: For your own safety, do not
use humidifier if any parts are damaged
or missing.
Step 1
Place humidifier on a flat level surface in area
of house where most humidity is needed, or
one which would likely result in moist air
being circulated throughout the house such
as near a cold air return. Placing the unit
level is very important if the humidifier is
located on carpeting.
NOTE: The 13 gallon humidifier contains
water bottles. The weight of the bottles in
the front of the cabinet may sink the front
casters deeper in the carpet. This will
keep the water level forward in the cabi-
net. The water level float (located at the
rear of the cabinet) may not sense the
water and the fill light will be on and the
unit will not energize. If this happens, the
unit will need to be leveled in order for the
humidifier to be energized.
NOTE: It may be necessary to purchase lev-
eling coasters from your local hardware store.
The coasters should be positioned under the
front two casters of the humidifier.
Moist air (humidity) produced will disperse
into the whole house, but area closest to unit
will have the highest humidity. If the unit is
positioned close to a window, condensation
may form on the window pane. If this is not

appropriate the unit should be repositioned in
another location.
NOTE: Due to release of cool, moist air from
humidifier, it is best to direct air away from
home thermostat and hot air registers. It is
best to position humidifier next to an inside
wall. Hot air registers and cold air from out-
side walls can affect the efficiencies of the
controls. Unit should not be placed where
warm air from a hot air register blows directly
on unit.
Step 2
The humidifier should be positioned with the
back (cord exit side), at least 2 inches away
from the wall. Air needs to enter through lou-
vers in the back of the cabinet in order for the
humidifier to operate at peak efficiency.
