Occasionally some indoor activity may cause the humidity to rise to excess and begin to accumulate on windows. Such activities as cooking, showers, and clothes drying, etc. If this condition persist for more than a few hours the humidifier should be turned off and if this condition still continues, the home should be ventilated to remove the moisture.
CHECKING THE HUMIDIFIER FOR PROPER OPERATION
To check the humidifier for proper operation, winter start up, and after ser- vicing follow this recommended procedure.
1.Turn the water on at the saddle valve to the humidifier.
2.Check the water level in the humidifier, water level setting should be
3.Turn the humidistat to its highest setting and observe the humidifier evaporator pad for rotation. If the unit is not rotating turn the furnace on by setting the thermostat higher until the furnace starts and the blower is running.
NOTE: Wiring the unit to operate independent of or in conjunction with the furnace blower is left to the discretion of the installer. On installa- tions where the unit might be closely sized, independent operation allows the unit to operate
4.Reset thermostat and humidistat to their correct positions for auto- matic operation.
WATER HARDNESS AND MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Your humidifier will accumulate minerals such as calcium and lime after operating for a short period (accumulation of minerals is a sure sign the humidifier is producing humidity). The amount of accumulation is dependent on the hardness of the water supply in your area. Therefore the time between cleaning is unpredictable. In areas with hard water where cleaning becomes frequent we suggest installation of a White- Rodgers Automatic Flushing Timer to increase time between cleaning intervals.
NOTE: Excessive buildup of these minerals is detrimental to internal parts as well as evaporative efficiency.
