IMPORTANT: Water damage may result if condensation starts to form on windows or walls. Humidity SET point should be lowered until condensation no longer forms. We recommend room humidity levels do not exceed 50%.
Filter Replacement
1.Unplug humidifier. Before removing the filter, move the humidifier to an area not susceptible to water damage. (i.e. kitchen or bath areas).

Once calibration is complete a ROOM humidity reading between 20% – 95% will be displayed. A flashing 20 display indicates that the room humidity is less than 20%.
NOTE: The default settings at initial startup are (LOW) F1 fan speed and
65% SET humidity. After desired settings are selected by the user, they remain as long as the unit remains plugged in and there is no power interruption. If the unit is unplugged the original default settings will be restored.
*Humidifier fan should operate at initial startup. If it does not, refer to “Fan not operating (digital display is illuminated)” in the “Troubleshooting” section on page 13 of this manual.
