REFILL INDICATOR
(
)
- When illuminated, the water tanks need refilling.See the
section “Filling the Water Tank”. If still illuminated a few minutes after full tank is placed
on base, reposition water tanks. (Unit will operate with only one water tank.) Each
time you fill tanks, rinse tanks, hot water reservoir and cold water reservoirs. Clean
them according to CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS if minerals or film are present.
RELATIVE HUMIDITY CONTROL ( )
- This controls the humidity level. If moderate
humidity is desired, the control should be turned counterclockwise toward “LO”; and if
higher humidity is desired, clockwise toward “HI”.
NOTE: When you unpack your humidifier, you may find it has droplets of water on
some surfaces. This is normal as every unit is tested prior to shipping. Carefully unpack
humidifier and remove all packing material.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place the base of the unit on a firm, flat, level and water resistant surface.
2. Fill the water tanks according to the instructions below and place on humidifier base.
3. Plug the power cord firmly and completely into the wall outlet.
4. Turn the power switch to either the LO or HI position (Lights may flicker
momentarily). Then turn the relative humidity knob clockwise until you hear a faint
click and the power light comes on. It will be normal for the humidifier to take a
few minutes to warm up and begin to mist.
5. When the water tanks are empty, (after approximately 36 hours running time), the
“REFILL WHEN LIT” lamp will go on, and the unit will stop heating. Refer to the
“FILLING THE WATER TANKS” section.
6. Whenever the water falls below the level of the probes during operation, the
heating element will shut off and stop heating, and the REFILL indicator will light.
7. The unit will operate as long as there is water in either tank and unit will operate
with either one or both tanks.
FILLING THE WATER TANKS
1. Before filling the water tanks, turn the POWER switch to the “OFF” position and
unplug unit. Refer to cleaning instructions.
2. Remove water tanks from base, turn each tank upside down and remove tank cap
by turning counterclockwise. Fill tank with clean cold tap water.
If using distilled water, add a few grains of table salt to each tank.
Replace the tank cap by turning clockwise. Tighten firmly.
3. Carefully pick up tank, since it will be heavy when full, and slippery if wet.
4. Place water tanks on base. Make sure tanks are properly placed, otherwise, the
humidifier will not work correctly.
