OPERATION
1) Plug cord into wall receptacle. Your humidifier is now ready for use. The
humidifier should be placed at least FOUR inches away from any walls and
away from heat registers. Unrestricted airflow into the unit will result in the
best efficiency and performance.
2) The digital control allows you to use the low setting for the quietest operation
or a high setting for maximum output.
3)
For initial operation
, push the speed button once for the sleep setting and
continuously press the button to increase desired speed.
TO STOP the unit
,
press the speed button for two seconds, or keep pressing button until
display reads OFF.
4) To take advantage of the digital humidistat, press the speed button to any
setting other than OFF. Then adjust the set humidity by using the up and
down buttons. Humidity will increase in increments of 5%. When the room
humidity level rises above the set humidity, the humidifier will stop. When
the humidity level drops below the set humidity, the humidifier will turn on
automatically.
5) The refill light will indicate when the unit is completely out of water in both bottles. The motor will also shut off. To refill, refer
back to Step 4 – Important Filling Information.
NOTE:
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.
