Humidifier Operations
Your new Emerson humidifier is designed to
satisfy home humidity requirements through
the principle of evaporation of water into the air.
After water is added to the tank the filters
begin to soak up the water and become
totally saturated in approximately 30 min-
utes. Air is drawn in from the rear of the
humidifier, then passes through the filters
by means of two circulation fans. As air
passes through the filters, moisture is
absorbed into the air and then released
through the top of the humidifier. This
moist air is released in the form of vapor.
No water droplets will enter the home. All
evaporation into the air takes place in the
humidifier, which means that the residue
left by evaporating water is not passed
into the home, but remains in the filter.
CAUTION: Use only EPA Registered
Bacteriostat available from your local
retail store. Under no circumstances
should you use water treatment prod-
ucts for Roto belt or Ultrasonic
humidifiers.

CAUTION: Keep your humidifier
clean. While humidifiers do not cause
colds, some studies suggest that
dirty humidifiers can cause cold-like
symptoms in some people. To reduce
the risk of this, we recommend you
clean your humidifier weekly with
cleaners specifically recommended
for humidifiers and use EPA recom-
mended bacteriostat.
Assembly
Your new Emerson humidifier is complete-
ly assembled for you to use. Remove the
packaging material from inside your
humidifier and follow the instructions of
this owner's manual for proper usage. The
packaging material is located below the
fan assembly. Remove all of the packag-
ing material and discard.
NOTE: The filters may have shifted
during shipping. Ensure that they are
properly seated in the bottom of the
cabinet below the top filter housings
before filling. Refer to “Replacement
and Care of Filters” section on page 9.
Locate nearest 120V A.C. wall socket in
the location desired, preferably on inside
wall. Plug in the electrical cord.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or
shock hazard, do not use extension
cords. Humidifier should be plugged
directly into a 120V A.C. outlet.
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 qual-
ified electrician to install the proper outlet.
Do not change the plug in any way.
