Using Your Humidifier
Step 1
Be sure unit is full of water and plugged in.
Step 2
Set the Fan selection switch to “2”. This will
allow both fans to operate if the humidistat
senses humidity is needed.
Step 3
Set air flow control to desired setting.
Step 4
Set Humidity Control to medium position (half
way between MIN and MAX.)
NOTE: Humidifier should operate with humid-
ity control on the recommended medium set-
ting. If it does not, the humidity is at a rela-
tively high level. To test the unit under this
condition, turn Humidity Control all the way to
MAX and unit should begin to operate. After
the unit has been tested, set Humidity Control
to medium or desired level.
Allow 24 hours for humidifier to adjust.
If humidity level in home is sufficient, the
humidifier will only operate with Humidity
Control set on maximum.
IMPORTANT: Water damage may result if
condensation starts to form on windows
or walls. Humidity Control setting should
be lowered until condensation no longer
forms.
Step 5
If humidifier stops running and the Fill Light is
not illuminated, the humidity level is at the
normal requirements for that setting or it is
adjusting to the home conditions. The table
below shows recommended indoor humidity
levels. The figure below shows approximate
relative humidity percentages which corre-
spond to the various settings of the Humidity
Control.
