OPERATING GUIDELINES
READ BEFORE USING
A Humidifier is quite useful in supplying necessary moisture to dry
air. It should be used with proper care to prevent over-humidification.
A good rule of thumb would be to gauge the condensation or frost
on windows. Adjust your Humidifier to a point where this condition
is at a minimum. These adjustments should be made when major
changes in outdoor temperatures occur. Humidifiers can be placed
in any living area that has a location that is convenient and provides
distribution of the moist air to the living area.
The measured output of a Humidifier is based upon continuous
operation at standard rating conditions. With normal variations of
indoor and outdoor conditions, the Humidistat controlled Humidifier
will not run continuously, at maximum output, unless the controls are
set to do so.
Initial Humidity requirements: When initially installed or when
placed in operation at the beginning of each season, the Humidifier
equipped with a Humidistat may run constantly for a day or so and
thus evaporate large quantities of moisture. When the home and its
furnishings have absorbed moisture and become stabilized at the
desired humidity level, the amount of water used will diminish and
the Humidifier operation will maintain the desired humidity level.
If you do not follow the recommended care and maintenance
guidelines, microorganisms may be able to grow in the water within
the Humidifier’s Reservoir and Base. (See CLEANING for care
instructions.).
OPERATING NOTES AND SUGGESTIONS
There are several things to be aware of as your Vornado® Evaporative
Humidifier is operating.
It is normal to hear a bubbling or gurgling sound as water is
dispensed into the Base.
If you operate your Humidifier continuously, it may need to be refilled
with water every day. Simply look through the Reservoir to be certain
that there is an adequate water supply for operation.
Protect the Water Reservoir from damage. Any holes or other
damage to the Reservoir may cause it to dispense water onto the
floor or other surfaces.
When installing the Filter, make certain it is in the proper position,
flush along the open Inlet Grill and resting flat on the Base.
On first use, the Filters may give off a mild odor. The odor is not
harmful and will go away after the first few hours of operation. If the
odor is exceptionally strong, you can help eliminate most or all of it
by soaking the Filters for 20 to 30 minutes in a solution of 1 gallon
water to 2 teaspoons white vinegar. Rinse thoroughly.
If you shut your Humidifier off with water in the unit and do not turn
it back on for 12 hours or longer, you may experience some growth
of algae or bacteria. If this happens, we recommend a thorough
cleaning of the unit. (See CLEANING instructions.)
We recommend you operate your Humidifier continuously. This helps
maintain humidity all day long, costs only pennies a day, and will not
harm the unit.
