Due to release of cool, moist air from the humidifier, it is best to direct air away from
thermostat and hot air registers. Position humidifier next to an inside wall on a level
place at least 4 inches away from the wall or curtains.
ASSEMBLY
1) Unpack humidifier from carton.
2) Remove all packaging materials, wick, etc. from box.

WATER FILL AND WICK REPLACEMENT
CAUTION: Before filling, ensure unit is turned OFF and unplugged.
NOTE: Unit will continue running, even when out of water.
1) Lift chassis (top section) off base. Position wick in the notch at the back of
the base.
2) Before replacing the chassis, fill the base with unsoftened water. DO NOT POUR
WATER OVER THE ELECTRICAL CHASSIS. Fill the base (see illustration, next
page) to the level marked “MAX FILL” on the center bottom of the base.
3) If water spills on the chassis, it must be allowed to dry completely
before turning on the humidifier. If you have only softened water
available in your home, you can use it, but you will notice a build up of
minerals on the evaporative wick much sooner. Base capacity is 1.2
gallons. DO NOT OVERFILL.
