the tank upright and place it on the humidi-
fier. Be sure that the tank is seated properly

Using Your Humidifier
Only for models with an Adjustable Humi-
distat
9. You can choose the desired humidity out-
put by adjusting the Adjustable Humidis-
tat knob. In a very dry room, the “HI”
setting should be used to quickly achieve
a comfortable level of humidity. Once the
room is comfortable, you can turn the
Adjustable Humidistat down. Selection
of your desired humidity level is a per-
sonal choice and you may have to adjust
the dial to find the level where you feel
most comfortable. To begin with, we sug-
gest you try a middle location between
the lowest and the maximum setting.
Then, adjust the level to suit your needs.
10.When the humidity reaches the level you
have set, the “Desired Humidity” light will
be illuminated. The humidifier will not
output humidity while the humidity in the
room is at the selected humidity level. The
“Desired Humidity” light will stay on un-
til the humidity changes. When the hu-
midity in the room drops below the se-
lected level, the humidifier will cycle on
again and the “Desired Humidity” light
will go off.
Only for models with Automatic Shut-off
11. When the water tank is empty, the humidi-
fier will automatically shut itself off. The
red light will be illuminated, indicating that
the water tank needs to be refilled.
12. Follow REFILLING THE WATER TANK di-
rections. Once the water tank is refilled,
the Refill Light will not be illuminated.
Only for models with a NiteGlo™ Night Light
13. Use the control to turn the night light off
and on. The night light can be operated
even if the humidifier fan is turned ‘OFF’.
