Humidifier Operations

Your new Emerson humidifier is designed to satisfy home humidity requirements through the principle of evaporation of water into the air.

After water is added to the bottles and positioned in the humidifier, the filters begin to soak up the water and become totally saturated in approximately 30 minutes. Air is drawn in from the rear of the humidifier and through the filters by means of two circulation fans. As air passes through the filters, moisture is absorbed into the air and then released through the top of the humidifier. This moist air is released in the form of vapor. No water droplets will enter the home. All evaporation into the air takes place in the humidifier, which means that the residue left by evaporating water is not passed into the home, but remains in the filter.

CAUTION: Use only liquid EPA Registered Bacteriostat available from your local retail store. Under no circumstances should you use water treatment products for Roto belt or Ultrasonic humidifiers.

inside your humidifier and follow the instructions of this owner’s manual for proper usage. The packaging material is located under the fan assembly. Remove the packaging material and discard.

CAUTION: Keep your humidifier clean. While humidifiers do not cause colds, some studies suggest that dirty humidifiers can cause cold-like symptoms in some people. To avoid this, clean your humidifier weekly with cleaners specifically recommended for evaporative humidifiers.

Unpacking & Assembly

Your new Emerson humidifier is completely assembled for you to use. Remove the bag pack containing two plastic caster pads from top of humidifier and retain for future use if required. See Step 1 on page 5 for instructions. Remove the packaging material from

Electrical Hook-Up

Locate nearest 120V A.C. wall socket in the location desired, preferably on inside wall. With the humidifier in the desired location, route the electrical cord safely so no one will trip or upset the humidifier. Plug in the electrical cord.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or shock hazard, humidifier should be plugged into a 120V A.C. outlet. Do not use extension cords.

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this humidifier has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way.

If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

WARNING: For your own safety, do not use humidifier if any parts are damaged or missing.

Step 1

Place humidifier on a flat level surface in area of house where humidity is needed most, or one which would likely result in moist air being circulated throughout the house such as near a cold air return. Placing the unit level is very important if the humidifier is located on carpeting.

NOTE: This console humidifier contains water bottles. The weight of the bottles in the front of the cabinet may sink the front casters deeper in the carpet. This will keep the water level forward in the cabinet. The water level float (located at the rear of the cabinet) may not sense the water and the fill light will be on and the unit will not energize. If this happens, the unit will need to be leveled in order for the humidifier to be energized.

To level the humidifier on carpeted surfaces place the included caster pads under the front two casters of the humidifier only. Moist air (humidity) produced will disperse into the whole house, but area closest to unit will have the highest humidity. If the unit is positioned close to a window, condensation may form on the window pane. If this is not appropriate the unit should be repositioned in another location.

Location Instructions

Water Fill

WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock, always unplug humidifier before filling, cleaning, or servicing.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or shock hazard, do not pour or spill water into control or motor area. Close the control cover. If controls get wet, let them dry completely and have unit checked by authorized service personnel before plugging in.

This humidifier is designed to be used with the two water bottles that are located under the pivoting lid.

NOTE: Due to release of cool, moist air from humidifier, it is best to direct air away from home thermostat and hot air registers. It is best to position humidifier next to an inside wall. Hot air registers and cold air from outside walls can affect the efficiencies of the controls. Unit should not be placed where warm air from a hot air register blows directly on unit.

Step 2

The humidifier should be positioned with the back (cord exit side), at least 2 inches away from the wall. Air needs to enter through louvers in the back of the cabinet in order for the humidifier to operate at peak efficiency.
