instructions on the bottle.
6) Plug cord into wall receptacle and turn humidifier on. Note The outlet grille is
louvered and may be rotated 360 degrees to direct the airflow where you want
it.
**When excessive condensation exists, a lower speed setting is recommended.
CAUTION: Disconnect power before filling, cleaning or servicing unit. Keep
grille dry at all times.
OPERATION & CONTROLS –
1) The humidifier should be placed at least FOUR inches away from any walls and
away from heat registers. Do not place on soft carpet. Unrestricted airflow into
the unit will result in the best efficiency and performance. Set desired levels
and speed.
2) Model 736 200 only- has an automatic
humidistat. (The humidistat control knob is
located on the right). The humidistat will turn the
humidifier on when the relative humidity in your
home is below the humidistat setting and will turn
the humidifier off when the relative humidity
reaches the humidistat setting. For initial
operation, set the humidistat at its midpoint and
adjust up or down from there to achieve the
desired humidity level.
