SP6647.qxd 7/5/06 8:23 AM Page 4 How Your Humidifier Works Your new MoistAIR humidifier is designed to satisfy home humidity requirements through the principle of evaporation of water into the air. After water is added to the bottle, the filters begin to soak up the water and become totally saturated in approximately 30 minutes. Air is drawn in from the rear of the humidifier and through the filters by means of circulation fans.
SP6647.qxd 7/5/06 8:23 AM Page 5 Location Instructions next to an inside wall. Hot air registers and cold air from outside walls can affect the efficiencies of the controls. Unit should not be placed where warm air from a hot air register blows directly on unit. Moist air (humidity) produced will disperse into the whole house, but area closest to the unit will have the highest humidity. If the unit is positioned close to a window, condensation may form on the window pane.
SP6647.qxd 7/5/06 8:23 AM Page 6 Electrical Hook-Up If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Locate nearest 120V A.C. wall socket in the location desired, preferably on inside wall. With the humidifier in the desired location, route the electrical cord safely so no one will trip or upset the humidifier. Plug in the electrical cord.
SP6647.qxd 7/5/06 8:23 AM Page 7 Water Fill (continued) Each water bottle is designed with a “Side-Fill Cap” that is easily removable. Remove the “Side-Fill Cap” on the side of the water bottle by twisting counterclockwise. Turn Counterclockwise to Remove Cap Place the opening of the water bottle under a water faucet (the bottle should fit under a four-inch clearance faucet). Fill with recommended mixture of cold water and Bacteriostat (if necessary) only. Solid debris could make the valve leak.
SP6647.qxd 7/5/06 8:23 AM Page 8 Operating the Controls Function Buttons Where you set your desired humidity levels depends on your personal comfort level, outside temperature and inside temperature. A starting set point of 30% 40% ROOM humidity is recommended but there may be conditions that require a different setting. IMPORTANT: Water damage may result if condensation starts to form on windows or walls. Humidity SET point should be lowered until condensation no longer forms.
SP6647.qxd 7/5/06 8:23 AM Page 9 Operating the Controls (continued) The SET readout has a range of 25% to 65% and is adjusted in increments of 5%. Initially depressing the humidity button will display the current humidity setting. Each additional press of the button increases the setting by 5%. A SET point of 65% operates the humidifier continuously regardless of the ROOM reading. The humidistat that senses the readings is located on the power cord. Insure that this humidistat is free from obstruction.
SP6647.qxd 7/5/06 8:23 AM Page 10 Using Your Humidifier (continued) 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 motor operation.
