Owner`s manual

CAUTION:
Use only EPA Registered Bacteriostat. Under no circumstances should
you use Water Treatment
products intended for Rotobelt or Ultrasonic
humidifiers.
NOTE:
We recommend using AIRCARE
®
or Essick Air
®
Bacteriostat Treatment PN
1970 when you refill the water reservoir to eliminate bacterial growth. Add bacteriostat
according to the instructions on
the bottle.
Place the water bottle back into the humidifier base.
When positioned properly, the
plunger will open and the
water will flow into the base. The base will hold the entire
contents of the water
bottle. Once the bottle is empty, remove it and repeat the filling
process.
The humidifier is now filled to capacity. To benefit from less frequent filling
let the
humidifier exhaust both the water from the bottle and the base before filling.
ABOUT HUMIDITY
Where you set your desired humidity levels dep
ends on your personal comfort level,
the
outside temperature and the inside temperature.
NOTE
: Recent CDC tests show that the chances of flu transmission are greatly
reduced at levels of 43% humidity.
You may wish to purchase a hygrometer* to measure the
humidity level in your
home. The following is a chart of recommended humidity settings.

*Model 1990 digital hygrometer is available for purchase by calling 1

NOTE:
External hygrometer readings and humidistat readings may differ. Humidity
levels can vary significantly even in one room.
OPERATION
Plug cord
into wall receptacle. Your humidifier is now ready for use. The humidifier
should be placed at least FOUR inches away from any walls and away from heat
registers. Unrestricted airflow into the unit will result in the best efficiency and
performance.
This
unit has an automatic humidistat located in the cord that senses the humidity
level around the immediate area of the humidifier. It causes the humidifier to cycle
on and off to maintain the selected humidity
SET point. The fan will turn on when the
humidit
y 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.
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%.
