NOTE: During this time the room humidity level will continue to be monitored and the humidifier will cycle the fan on and off until the filter is completely dry. The fan will shut off leaving you with a dry humidifier that is less prone to mold and mildew growth. If DRY OUT MODE is not desired, refill the humidifier with water and the fan will return to the set speed.
NOTE: Fan automatically switches to lowest speed during DRY OUT MODE.
Check Filter indicator
The ability of any humidifier to efficiently supply humidity output relies heavily on the condition of the filter. As the filter loads with impurities it gradually loses its wicking capability. When this happens, moisture output is reduced and the humidifier has to work longer to satisfy the selected setting. This humidifier has a check filter reminder timed to appear after 720 hours of operation. When the display shows an alternating "CF" and "room humidity" setting at 5 second intervals it is a reminder to check the filter condition.
NOTE: Some areas have high water mineral content causing the need for more frequent filter changes.

Humidistat
The humidistat located on the power cord senses the percentage of humidity in the air. It causes the humidifier to cycle on and off to maintain the selected humidity SET point. The fan will turn on if the
"ROOM" reading falls 3% below the SET point and will continue to run the humidifier until a reading of 1% above the SET point is achieved. The fan will turn off until the ROOM reading falls 3% below the SET point again.
Control Lock Out
To avoid unwanted tampering with the humidifier settings the controls can be locked.
Activation Procedure
After the humidifier functions have been set up, hold the power button down for 5 seconds. The display will show "CL" for
2 seconds; release the power button and the control will resume the display of the room humidity. The room humidifier will continue to function with the locked in settings. If buttons are operated while "CL" is active, the "CL" is displayed and settings are unaffected.
Deactivation Procedure
To deactivate the "CL" function simply press and hold the power button for 5 seconds. "CL" will flash at the rate of 1 second on and 1 second off for a period of 2 seconds and then resume the display of room humidity.
NOTE: Be sure humidistat located
approximately 4 inches outside humidifier body on power cord is free from obstruction and away from any hot air register.
