INTRODUCTION
Your new humidifier adds invisible moisture to your home by moving dry inlet air through
a saturated wick. As air moves through the wick, the water evaporates into the air,
leaving behind any white dust, minerals, or dissolved and suspended solids. Because
the water is evaporated, there is just clean and invisible moist air.
As the evaporative wick traps accumulated minerals from the water, its ability to
absorb and evaporate water decreases. We recommend changing the wick at the
beginning of every season. In hard water areas, more frequent replacement may be
necessary to maintain your humidifier’s efficiency.

HOW YOUR HUMIDIFIER WORKS
Your new evaporative humidifier is designed
to satisfy home humidity requirements
through the principle of evaporation of water
in the air.
Once the wick becomes saturated, air is
drawn in, passes through the wick and
moisture is absorbed into the air. All
evaporation occurs in the humidifier so any
residue remains in the wick.
This natural process of evaporation creates no white dust like some other humidifiers

NOTES ON LOCATION:
In order to get the most effective use from your humidifier, it is important to position
the unit where the most humidity is needed or where the moist air will be circulated
throughout the house such as near a cold air return. If the unit is positioned close to
a window, condensation may form on the window pane. If this occurs the unit should
be repositioned in another location.
Do NOT position the unit directly in front of a hot air duct or radiator. Do NOT place
on soft carpet.
Due to release of cool, moist air from the humidifier, it is best to direct air away from
