Operation
This 465-C1 humidifier operates on the silent principle of
evaporation. When your unit is operating properly, you may
observe the drum turning freely by looking through the
observation window. Evaporation takes place as the air passes
through the moistened evaporator pad held in place by the
specially engineered rotating drum assembly. Operation is
completely automatic. Working in conjunction with the
heating system blower, a portion of the warm air is bypassed
through the humidifier for quiet and economical
humidification of the air in your home. The humidifier is
designed for use with either hard or softened water.
Set the humidistat in the recommended range of 30-50%
Relative Humidity for automatic humidity control during the
heating season (a lower setting may be used to control
condensation on single pane windows). During the first
heating season, check for mineral build-up on the evaporator
pad every month to establish the proper cleaning schedule.
Clean the unit at the end of each heating season or whenever
mineral deposits appear to clog the openings in the
evaporator pad
You can easily check your humidifier to be sure it is in working
condition. Simply turn the humidistat to a higher setting and
look through the observation window (a flashlight may be
needed). If the unit is working properly, the evaporator pad
will be rotating. Be sure to set the humidistat back to the
desired level.
Summer
When shutting the humidifier down for the summer months,
start with cleaning any mineral accumulation from the unit.
Leave the water turned off and the unit dry. If the furnace fan
is to be used for cooling purposes, disconnect power to the
humidifier or turn the humidistat to the OFF position and
remove the entire evaporator pad and cage assembly.
Winter
At the beginning of the heating season, return the entire
evaporator pad and cage assembly to their original location. It
is recommended that the evaporator pad be replaced before
each heating season. Turn on the water, check the water level
within the humidifier and return the humidistat to the desired
level.
