To Operate the Controls
Humidity Control:
Adjust the amount of humidity depending on
your needs. The humidifier will turn on and off
as required to maintain level of humidity
selected. A medium setting (half way between
and is recommended, but there are
times when a low or high amount of humidity
may be preferred. For constant operation of
humidifier, turning the control all the way
clockwise allows for the maximum amount of
humidity to be evaporated into the air
continuously.
IMPORTANT: Water damage may result if
condensation starts to form on windows or
walls. Humidity Control setting should be
lowered until condensation no longer forms.
Air Flow Control
The unit is adjusted from OFF “ ” to high
“ ” with a three speed rotary control.
The higher the air flow speed, the more water
is evaporated and released into the air. Low
speed “ ” is the quietest and is provided for
conditions that may not require as high an
evaporation rate.
Fill Light
When the unit has a small amount of water
left in it, the amber fill light will come on
and the unit will automatically shut off.

Manual Dryout
At the end of the humidification season or if
you do not plan to run the humidifier for one
week or more, you can override the auto-
matic shutoff function to completely dry the
humidifier cabinet out.
To do this, simply slide the float retainer locat-
ed at the back of the humidifier cabinet to the
top position of the slot it is located in. This will
hold the float in an upward position and the
fans will run until you turn the power off.
NOTE: Be sure to position float retainer to
the normal operating mode (lowest position
in slot) for normal operation.
Below is a diagram of the slot the float retain-
er is located in at the back of the cabinet.
