NOTE: If only softened water is available, it can be
used; however you will notice a build-up of minerals on
the evaporative wick much sooner.
2) While the bottle is removed from the unit, make sure
wick is resting all the way into the water channel.
3) Return bottle to its upright position using the
handle on the top of the bottle. Set the bottle in
the recessed area with the top of the bottle flush
with the top of the humidifier. When positioned properly, the valve will open
and water will flow into the water channel.
CAUTION: Do not spill water on fan motor. Electrical components must be
kept dry.
NOTE: We recommend using AIRCARE
®
or Essick Air
®
Bacteriostat Treatment
when you refill the water reservoir to eliminate bacterial growth. Add
bacteriostat according to the instructions on the bottle.
Under no circumstances should you use Water Treatment products intended
for Rotobelt or Ultrasonic humidifiers.
ABOUT HUMIDITY
Where you set your desired humidity levels depends on your personal comfort
level, the outside temperature and the inside temperature.
NOTE: Recent CDC tests show that the chances of flu transmission are greatly
reduced at levels of 43% humidity.
You may wish to purchase a hygrometer* to measure the humidity level in your
home. The following is a chart of recommended humidity settings.

*Model 1990 digital hygrometer is available for purchase by calling 1-800-547-3888.
NOTE: External hygrometer readings and humidistat readings may differ.
Humidity levels can vary significantly even in one room.
OPERATION
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.
NOTE: This unit has an automatic humidistat located on the cord that senses the humidity
level around the immediate area of the humidifier. It turns the humidifier on when the
relative humidity in your home is below the humidistat setting and will turn the humidifier off
when the relative humidity reaches the humidistat setting.
IMPORTANT: Water
damage may result if
condensation starts to form
on windows or walls.
Humidity SET point should
be lowered until
condensation no longer
forms. We recommend
room humidity levels do not
exceed 50%.
