Step 2. Location and Electrical Hook Up
WARNING: For your own safety, do not use humidifier if any parts are damaged or missing.
Selecting A Location
Place humidifier on a flat level surface, take extra care in leveling when placing the unit on carpet. Position the humidifier where the most humidity is needed or where the most air will be circulated throughout the house such as near a cold air return.
Moist air (humidity) produced will disperse into the whole house, but the 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 occurs the unit should be repositioned in another location.
NOTE: Due to release of cool, moist air from humidifier, it is best to direct air away from thermostat and hot air registers and to position humidifier next to an inside wall. Unit should not be placed where cold air from outside walls or warm air from a hot air register blows directly on it.
Positioning The Unit
The humidifier should be positioned with the back (cord exit side) and left side, at least 2 inches (5 centimetres) away from the wall. Air needs to enter through all of the louvers in the housing assembly in order for the humidifier to operate at peak efficiency.
At least 2 inches (5 cm) from wall
NOTE: Be sure that the humidistat, which is located on the power cord, is free from obstruction and away from any hot air source.
Electrical Hook-Up
Locate nearest 120V A.C. wall socket in the location desired, preferably on inside wall. With the humidifier in the desired location, route the electrical cord safely so no one will trip or upset the humidifier. Plug in the electrical cord.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or shock hazard, humidifier should be plugged into a 120V A.C. outlet. Do not use extension cords.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this humidifier has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
