HM700A1000

ELECTRODE STEAM HUMIDIFIER

INTRODUCTION

The HM700 is the most advanced residential steam humidifier 

available and provides steady and reliable humidification for a 

home. The humidifier is designed for connection to a steam 

distributor installed in a supply air duct for humidity on 

demand.

IMPORTANT

Read and save these instructions. This guide should 

be kept by the installer, and the Homeowner’s Guide 

should be left with the equipment owner.

Included in the Box

— Steam Humidifier (HM700)

— Distribution Remote Mount Kit (HM700ADISTKIT)

— HumidiPRO Humidistat (H6062A1000)

— Steam Cylinder (one HM700ACYL2 included)

— Rubber drain hose

— Installation Instructions, Homeowner’s Guide and 

Quick Start Guide

Tools Needed

— Screwdriver

— Wrench

— Pliers

— Shut-off water valve

— Water line (LDPE or Copper)

Humidifier Configuration

The HM700 is configured at the factory to operate under most 

conditions without the need to change its configuration.

NOTE: Because the humidifier is factory configured for 

optimal performance, Honeywell strongly 

discourages changes to the jumpers or the 

potentiometer; doing so will void the warranty 

and could damage the humidifier. Contact 

Honeywell Customer Care for further 

information.

Before Installation

1.

Ensure that available voltage and phase corresponds 

with humidifier voltage and phase as indicated on 

humidifier’s specification label.

2.

Ensure that the dedicated external fuse disconnect is of 

sufficient size to handle the rated amps as indicated on 

the specification label. Refer to local codes.

3.

Ensure sufficient clearances will be available as 

described in the Location section on page 5.

4.

Ensure steam lines can be routed to duct distributor as 

described in Steam Lines and Condensate Return 

Instructions on page 8.
