HUMIDISTAT
The Advanced Mist

preference. Your humidifier will turn on and off throughout the day and night to maintain the desired
humidity level you have selected.
HOW TO SET THE HUMIDISTAT
First, turn the humidifier on and select your output/speed level.
Set the Advanced Mist
™
Humidistat on High by turning the knob
clockwise to the end (Fig. 4).
• Let the humidifier run on high for a least one hour
or until
your room has reached a comfortable humidity level.
• At this point, slowly turn your Humidistat knob counter-
clockwise until the humidifier shuts off and the Desired
Humidity light illuminates (Fig. 5).
• Now that your Humidistat knob is set, the humidifier will
automatically turn back on when your room drops below
your comfort setting and will
automatically turn off again
when the setting is reached.
NOTE: If the humidifier fan will not start or restart when you select a fan speed, the Advanced Mist
™
Humidistat may be set too low. Turn the dial clockwise to the end (Fig. 4). The Desired Humidity light
will turn Off when the unit is producing moisture.
When the Desired Humidity light turns ON,
you ha
ve
