How Y our Humidifier Works

Your new MoistAIR humidifier is designed
to satisfy home humidity requirements
through the principle of evaporation of
water into the air.
After water is added to the bottle, 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 circulation fans.As air
passes through the filters, moisture is
absorbed into the air and then 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 EPA Registered
Bacteriostat. Under no circumstances
should you use water treatment
products designed for Roto belt or
Ultrasonic humidifiers.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of
injury, fire or damage to humidifier,
use only cleaners specifically
recommended for humidifiers.Never
use flammable, combustible or
poisonous materials to clean your
humidifier.

To reduce the risk of scalds and
damage to humidifier, never put hot
water in humidifier.

Assembly

Your new MoistAIR 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
the following Step 1 for instr uctions.

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

Location Instructions

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
an area of your house where humidity is
needed most, or in an area which would
likely result in moist air being circulated
throughout the house, such as near a
cold air return.

Placing the unit level is ver y important if
the humidifier is located on carpeting.

NOTE: The humidifier contains water
bottles.The weight of the bottles in the
front of the cabinet may cause the front
casters to sink deeper into the carpet. If
this happens, the water level will be
higher towards the front of the humidifier,
and lower towards the back.The water
level float (located at the rear of the
cabinet) may not sense the water so the
flashing “F” will be displayed 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 when located on carpet, place
the included caster pads under the front
two casters of the humidifier only.

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.

Moist air (humidity) produced will
disperse into the whole house, but area
closest to the 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.

Step 2:

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

Operating Tips for Best Performance

(5 cm) from any wall and away from
any heat registers.

Electrical Hook-Up

Locate nearest 120V A.C. wall socket in

he 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.

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

This humidifier is designed for use with
the two water bottles that are located
under the pivoting lid.

Open the pivoting lid of the humidifier.
Remove the water bottles by lifting them
straight up and out of the cabinet.

Notice the water bottles are designed as
right and left hand units. Position them in
the correct location so the humidifier can
function properly. The water bottles
should rest in the front of the cabinet.
