Safety Precautions
IMPORTANT: Please read these precautions before installing the
Skuttle Under Duct Humidier. Skuttle Mfg. Co. assumes no responsibility
under warranty if the user and/or installer do not follow directions
found in this manual.
Do not install a humidifier where the heating temperatures will exceed
180°F (82°C). Excessively high temperatures will damage your humidifier,
possibly resulting in humidifier overflow and water damage to the home.
Do not install a humidifier where the surrounding temperature may be 32°
F (0°C) or colder. Freezing water will damage the humidifier and burst the
supply pipe, resulting in damage to the home.
Do not cut or drill into any air conditioning or electrical accessories during
installation of the humidifier.
Do not install U V lights near unit will deteriorate pad.
When the humidifier is in a finished basement or any area where water
damage could occur, be sure to connect the overflow assembly to an
adequately sized drain.
For above-ceiling installation, always install a drain pan plumbed to a
suitable drain.
Although you may prefer a humidity level which is in the “high” range —
particularly when colder outdoor temperatures create drier indoor
conditions—it’s possible that you cannot maintain this setting in your
home. For example, upper levels of humidity cannot be maintained in
homes which do not have reasonably well insulated walls, windows and
doors. In a poorly insulated home, these areas may accumulate
condensation, eventually resulting in damage to the home.
See “How to Operate Your Humidifier” (page 16) and “FAQs about
IAQ” (page 24).
The installation, wiring and plumbing of your humidifier must comply with
local codes, ordinances and regulations.
DANGER: Blindness can occur if refrigerant comes in contact with
your eyes; electrocution is possible if you touch a live electrical wire.
