II. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Automatic Humidifier Control: (Manual humidistat-see pg 5)

Your Automatic Humidifier Control is installed in the cold air return. During the first heating season, your Automatic Humidifier Control needs to be set initially to match your home’s condition. Please follow these steps when adjusting your control (refer to Figure A).

1.Turn the dial setting knob to “5,” which is within the normal range. During the next 24-48 hours it may be necessary to adjust the dial for more or less humidity, depending on your personal comfort and home’s requirements. Refer to the “Operation Guide” (Table 1).

2.During the coldest portion of the first heating season, minor adjustments may be necessary. This is dependent upon your individual home construction, refer to the “Operation Guide” (Table 1).
