OPERATION
WARNING: DO NOT POUR WATER INTO THE GRILL ON THE TOP OF THE MOTOR HOUS-
ING. DOING SO MAY DAMAGE THE HUMIDIFIER OR CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.
• With the power switch in the OFF position, plug the filled humidifier into
a polarized 120V outlet.
WARNING: DO NOT FORCE THE POLARIZED PLUG INTO THE OUTLET; it will only
fit one way.
WARNING: DO NOT PLUG IN THE HUMIDIFIER WITH WET HANDS AS AN ELECTRIC
SHOCK COULD OCCUR.
• Keep the Moisture Control (Humidistat) on HIGH - the largest black dot before “+”
sign (Fig. 4).
• Set the speed control to the desired position:
– HIGH for fast humidifying, MED for everyday moisture control, or LOW for
night time operation.
NOTE: IF THE HUMIDIFIER FAN WILL NOT START OR RESTART WHEN YOU SELECT A
FAN SPEED, THE HUMIDISTAT MAY BE SET TOO LOW. MOVING THE HUMIDITY LEVEL
KNOB TO A HIGHER SETTING (THE LARGEST BLACK DOT BEFORE THE “+” SIGN)
SHOULD RESTART THE FAN.
• When a comfortable humidity level is reached, lower the Moisture Control
(Humidistat) setting slowly by turning the knob clockwise until the fan stops (Fig. 4).
The DESIRED HUMIDITY light will illuminate, indicating that the desired humidity set-
ting has been reached. The Humidistat will automatically restart the fan each time
the humidity level falls below this setting. This “ON/OFF” cycle will continue periodi-
cally while the humidifier is in use.
• ALWAYS be sure to discard any unused water in the base each time you refill the
Water Tank or finish using the humidifier (Fig. 5).
