Your humidifier is engineered to give helpful and trouble-free humidification. For maximum efficiency the following cleaning procedures should be carried
out at the end of each heating season:
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The operating principle of the humidifier is based on an efficient and economical means of evaporating water to the air. The humidifier uses only 2.5 watts
of electrical power during operation, less than most household light bulbs. The heat necessary for evaporating water is produced by the furnace.
The water supply to the humidifier is controlled by the electric solenoid valve. The humidistat connected in series with the solenoid provides low voltage
control of the humidifier. The humidistat is designed for wall mounting in the living area or surface mounting on the return air duct.
ELECTRICAL RATING: 24 VAC / 60 Hz.
DO NOT SET RELATIVE HUMIDITY TOO HIGH DURING COLD WEATHER. EXCESSIVE HUMIDITY MAY CAUSE CONDENSATION ON WINDOWS
OR IN WALLS. REFER TO RECOMMENDED SETTINGS AS DESCRIBED IN THE HUMIDISTAT OWNERS MANUAL.
Water flows through a strainer, is metered through an orifice to provide the proper amount of water, and is supplied to the evaporator pad by the
distributor trough. Approximately 200 CFM of air is by-passed from the warm air plenum through the humidifier and returned to the cold air plenum.
Moisture is evaporated to the air passing through the evaporator pad.
Minerals are not blown into the air stream as occurs in atomizing humidifiers; they are left on the evaporator pad where a high percentage is carried off
with the waste water.
When the humidifier is installed and operating, no adjustments are necessary other than setting the control knob on the humidistat to the desired level of
humidification. When in operation, leave knob on the humidifier in "WINTER" position.
To turn the humidifier off, close water supply valve, switch electrical power off and turn humidistat off. If furnace is used for summer cooling or ventilating
set air damper to "SUMMER" position.

1. Turn off water supply and electrical power to humidifier.
2. Remove water cover, distributor trough, evaporator pad and drain pan. Clean excessive mineral deposits from the
distributor trough, drain pan, pad rails, and humidifier cabinet. A solution of 1/2 vinegar & 1/2 water will help loosen
mineral deposits.
3. If the evaporator pad has excessive mineral deposits, replace with a new evaporator pad (Model 229010).
Install trough and drain pan. Replace cover.
4. In heavy mineral areas or if the solenoid valve fails to function, disconnect the 1/4” water supply line from the
solenoid valve. Carefully pull the strainer screen (Model 229004) from the valve body. Clean the mineral deposits
from all parts. If the orifice is clogged, it may be opened by inserting a small pin. Reinsert the filter into the orifice
fitting and screw the brass strainer body into the solenoid valve.
5. Reconnect the 1/4” water line to the solenoid valve if necessary. Turn on the water supply and check all points for
leakage. The operation of the unit may be checked by starting the furnace. The humidifier operates only when the
furnace blower is running or the burner circuit is energized. The humidifier is now ready for operation.
6. During the summer, turn off water supply and electrical power to humidifier. Set air damper to summer position.
