Be sure to keep fireplace dampers closed when not in use. They provide
an excellent escape route for heat, as well as humidity.
On occasion, indoor moisture producing activities such as clothes drying,
cooking, showers, etc., may raise the humidity level higher than it should
be, even though the humidifier is not operating. Telltale indications are
condensation or frost on cold surfaces such as windows, doors, walls,
etc. If such condensation persists for several hours, your home should be
ventilated to dissipate the potentially damaging excess moisture.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
MAINTENANCE
Turn humidifier off and allow humidifier to drain. Disconnect
power before servicing.
Inspect Humidifier at approximately 500 hour intervals or several times
during the humidification season.
• Check system operation and inspect all plumbing connections and piping
for signs of cracks or leaks.
• Inspect drain line to make sure it is not blocked and has constant
downward slope. Clean or replace if necessary.

upward slope from humidifier to dispersion tube in duct. If dispersion
tube is mounted below humidifier, inspect drip tee drain.
