Instruction Manual

Your Humidifier is engineered to give helpful and trouble-free humidification. For maximum efficiency the following cleaning procedures should be carried
out at the end of each heating season:
1. Turn off water supply and electrical power to humidifier.
2. Remove cover, water distributor trough, evaporator pad, pad rails and drain pan. Clean excessive mineral
deposits from the distributor trough, drain pan, pad rails and humidifier cabinet. A solution of 1/2 vinegar & 1/2
water will help loosen mineral deposits. Inspect drain hose, clean or replace as necessary.
3. If the evaporator pad has excessive mineral deposits, replace with a new evaporator pad (229019) . Install
trough, pad rails and drain pan. Replace cover, reconnect electrical plug.
4. In heavy mineral areas or if the solenoid valve fails to function disconnect the 1/4” water supply line from the
solenoid valve. Carefully pull the strainer screen (229004) from the valve body. Clean the mineral deposits
from all parts. If the orifice is clogged, it may be opened by inserting a small pin. Reinsert the filter into the
valve body.
5. Reconnect the 1/4” water line to the solenoid valve if necessary. Turn on the water supply and check all points
for leakage. The operation of the unit may be checked by starting the furnace. The humidifier operates only
when the furnace blower is running or the burner circuit is energized. The humidifier is now ready for operation.
6. During the summer, turn off water supply and electrical power to humidifier.

SETTING
The operating principle of the humidifier is based on an efficient and economical means of evaporating water to the air. The heat necessary for
evaporating water is produced by the furnace.
The water supply to the humidifier is controlled by the electric solenoid valve. The solenoid valve and humidifier fan are controlled by a humidistat
connected through an isolation relay. The humidistat is designed for wall mounting in the living area or surface mounting on the return air duct.
ELECTRICAL RATING: 24 VAC/ 60 Hz.
DO NOT SET RELATIVE HUMIDITY TOO HIGH DURING COLD WEATHER. EXCESSIVE HUMIDITY MAY CAUSE CONDENSATION ON WINDOWS
OR IN WALLS. REFER TO RECOMMENDED SETTINGS AS DESCRIBED IN THE HUMIDISTAT OWNERS MANUAL.
Water flows through a strainer, is metered through an orifice to provide the proper amount of water, and is supplied to the evaporator pad by the distributor
trough. Air from the warm air plenum is pulled through the wetted evaporator pad by the humidifier fan and returned to the warm air plenum to be
circulated through the living area. Moisture is evaporated to the air passing through the evaporator pad.
Minerals are not blown into the air stream as occurs in atomizing humidifiers; they are left on the evaporator pad where a high percentage is carried off
with the waste water.
When the humidifier is installed and operating, no adjustments are necessary other than setting the control knob on the humidistat to the desired level of
humidification.
To turn the humidifier off, close water supply valve, switch electrical power off and turn humidistat off.
