DETAILED INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. INSULATE WATER TANK RESERVOIR

With insulation foil side down, remove adhesive backing. Align humidifier so that front side of unit meets long edge of insulation. Fold insulation up onto sides of humidifier and press firmly. Apply 5 continuous strips from the tape provided to seal the foil as shown. The tape will prevent the sharp duct edges from damaging the foil. Use additional foil tape to repair damage to the foil. The Insulation MUST be applied to the tank regardless of the mounting location.

3. WEIGHT - Required Criteria

Providing Adequate Structural Support for this unit is the responsibility of the Installer. It is recommended to reinforce the cut openings with folded lengths of sheet- metal to provide rigidity to the duct opening. Now the screws must pass through 3 layers of metal when inserted.

DO NOT install this unit into fiberglass duct without adequate structural support! Both models weigh approximately 9 lbs. empty and 15lbs. full of water.

USE TAPE TO SEAL THE FOIL

TO THE FRONT MOUNTING PLATE (3 PLACES-SIDES AND BOTTOM)

4. MOUNTING TEMPLATE

Two mounting templates are provided. Choose the correct template for your mounting method. Tape the mounting template to the duct. The template must be leveled using the top of the cutout on the template. The template should be located so that the bottom of the reservoir cut-out is flush with the inside of the bottom of the duct for horizontal duct. Since most ducts are insulated this additional space, about one (1) inch, must be accounted for when determining the location for the bottom of the reservoir cut-out. If you are mounting it under the duct, make sure the duct is level.

5. DRILLHOLESAND CUT OPENINGS

Use an electric drill, with grounded power cord, to drill eight

(8) mounting holes, 1/8" diameter, in the duct. These can be

drilled through the template at the locations indicated on the

template.

A saber saw or tin snips can be used to cut out the water

reservoir opening.

2. LOCATION-LOCATION - Required Criteria

DO NOT INSTALL this unit in an attic period. Do Not Install this unit in any area that may fall belowThe steam35 humidifierdegrees F.canDoingbe installedo willinvoeitherd yourthe warmarranty!air supply or the

cold air return ducts; however the location would be in the warm air supply duct of the systempreferred. This humidifier does not require warm air to evaporate the water in order to provide humidity, but it will operate more efficiently in the warm air duct and condensation is less likely to occur on the surrounding cold surfaces. Efficiency is lost in a return air duct location.

When selecting a location on the duct, be certain that there is enough room in the duct for the water reservoir. There should be at least five (5) inches above the reservoir and the reservoir should not occupy more than about 25 percent of the duct space. If this criteria can not be met, you should install the unit under the duct by means of the tank flange. See page 6.

If a suitable means of gravity draining the unit is not available or cannot be provided, the unit will work with the drain valve electrically disconnected. Call the Technical Support Hotline for Instructions.

It is highly recommended but not required that the use of Fiberglass duct-board with this product includes an anti-microbial treatment.

Insert and/or mount the Humidifier and secure it to the duct

with the provided screws.
