be careful not to pressurize them by over filling. Bottle damage can result from this. A fill hose is provided with your humidifier which will fit most faucets. The faucet connector can be rolled back over itself to better fit small diameter or short faucets. Place water bottles into the humidifier with the valve cap end down and to the back of the humidifier so that the valve cap enters the water channel.
9)We recommend using Bemis by Essick Air Bacteria treatment whenever you refill the water bottles to eliminate bacterial growth. Add bacteriostat according to the instructions on the bottle and then tighten the valve caps on your water bottles.
10)Place the top frame onto the cabinet. NOTE: The top frame has hinge pins along the back edge which engage into the hinge brackets along the top back of the cabinet. This feature allows you to lift the top frame off vertically for easy cleaning, and also allows the top frame to pivot up for easy access to the control panel and water bottles.
11)Plug cordset into interlock receptacle on back of unit.
12)Plug cordset into wall receptacle. Humidifier is now ready for use.
13)Open the top frame by lifting along the front edge. The variable speed fan control allows you to use a low setting for the most quiet operation or a high setting for maximum output.
14)All models have an automatic humidistat. The humidistat will turn the humidifier on when the relative humidity in your home is below the humidistat setting and will turn the humidifier off when the relative humidity reaches the humidistat setting. For initial operation set the humidistat in the "comfort zone" and adjust up or down from there to achieve the desired humidity level.
