SP6599-1 MoistAIR 3/29/06 1:13 PM Page 4 How Your Humidifier Works Your new MoistAIR humidifier is designed to satisfy home humidity requirements through the principle of evaporation of water in the air. Humidified air is then released through the top Once the filter becomes saturated, air is drawn in, passes through the filter and moisture is absorbed into the air. All evaporation occurs in the humidifier so any residue remains in the filter.

Location and Electrical Hook Up Positioning The Unit The humidifier should be positioned with the back (cord exit side) and left side, at least 2 inches (5 centimetres) away from the wall. Air needs to enter through all of the louvers in the housing assembly in order for the humidifier to operate at peak efficiency.

SP6599-1 MoistAIR 3/29/06 1:13 PM Page 9 Check Filter Indicator The ability of any humidifier to efficiently supply humidity output relies heavily on the condition of the filter. As the filter loads with impurities it gradually loses its wicking capability. When this happens, moisture output is reduced and the humidifier has to work longer to satisfy the selected setting. This humidifier has a check filter reminder timed to appear after 720 hours of operation.
