Location Instructions
WARNING: For your own safety, do not use humidifier if any parts are damaged or missing.
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.
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.
