Water Fill (continued)
Open the pivoting lid of the humidifier.
Remove the water bottles, by lifting them
straight up and out of the cabinet.
Notice the water bottles are designed as right
and left hand units. Position them in the cor-
rect location so the humidifier can function
properly. The water bottles should rest in the
front of the cabinet. Each Side Fill Cap must
be facing the rear of the unit
Each water bottle is designed with a Side Fill
Cap that is easily removable. Remove the
Side Fill Cap on the side of the water bottle
by twisting counterclockwise. Each bottle will
hold 2-3/8 gallons (9 litres) of water.
Place the opening of the water bottle under a
water faucet (the bottle should fit under a
four-inch clearance faucet). Fill with cold
water. If necessary, add recommended
amount of EPA registered liquid bacteriostat.
Do not add solid debris as this could make
the valve leak. Install the Side Fill Cap by
twisting clockwise. Hand tighten only.
Check for possible leaks by performing
the following:
1. Grasp bottle handle and hold the bottle
upright over a sink.
2. Press up on valve cap plunger for about
one second to let out a little water.
3. Release the plunger.
4.Listen for air bubbles. Look for leaks
around Side Fill Cap.
5.If you hear air bubbles or see
leaks, retighten Side Fill Cap and repeat
steps 1-4.
NOTE: Repeat for other bottle. If either fill
cap leaks, water may overflow and leak
out of the rear vents of the cabinet.
Wipe off excess water from the bottle.
Position the water bottle back into the unit.
Grasp the water bottle handle, and lower into
the cabinet until the bottle sits on pads at bot-
tom of cabinet. The Side Fill Cap must be
facing the rear of the cabinet. When posi-
tioned properly, the plunger will open and
water will flow into the cabinet. The water
level will automatically remain at approxi-
mately 1/2" until the bottles are empty.
The unit is now ready for operation.
