Location Instructions
Step 1:
Place humidifier on a flat level surface in an area
of your house where humidity is needed most, or
in an area 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 humidifier contains water bottles. The
weight of the bottles in the front of the cabinet
may cause the front casters to sink deeper into
the carpet. If this happens, the water level will be
higher towards the front of the humidifier, and
lower towards the back. The water level float
(located at the rear of the cabinet) may not sense
the water so the flashing “F” will be displayed and
the unit will not energize. If this happens, the unit
will need to be leveled in order for the humidifier to
be energized. To level the humidifier when located
on carpet, place the included caster pads under
the front two casters of the humidifier only.
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 outside 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.
WARNING
: For your own safety, do not use
humidifier if any parts are damaged or
missing.
Moist air (humidity) produced will disperse into the
whole house, but area closest to the 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.
Step 2:
The humidifier should be positioned
with the back (cord exit side), at least
5 centimeters away from the wall.
Air needs to enter through the louvers in the rear
panel in order for the humidifier to operate at peak
efficiency.
Operating Tips for Best Performance
1. Position the humidifier at least 2 inches (5 cm)
from any wall and away from any heat
registers.
2. Do not restrict airflow from entering or exiting
the humidifier.
3. Use only EPA registered bacteriostat to retard
bacteria growth that may cause odors and may
be harmful to your health.
4. Perform regular cleaning as instructed in
“Cleaning and Maintenance” section of this
manual.
5. Replace the evaporative wicking filters at least
once per humidification season or more
depending on water conditions in your area.
