Location

Mount on a suitable wall or vertical surface. Do not sit the unit on the floor to allow
clearances required for plumbing and electrical connections.

Clearance dimensions shown are for reference only and are the minimum required for
maintenance of the humidifier. Consult local and national codes before final location and
installation. NORTEC does not accept responsibility for installation code violations.

Install only in areas with ambient temperature 41-104 °F (5 – 40 °C) relative humidity 5 -
95% (non condensing).

When possible install the humidifier below the steam distributor. Take care to provide proper
steam line routing and proper condensate traps.

DO NOT locate the humidifier any further than absolutely necessary from the steam
distributor location. Net output will be reduced as a result of heat loss through the steam
line.

When possible, mount the NH-EL humidifier at a height convenient for servicing.
