How Your 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.
Humidified Air is Then Released Through the Top

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 instructions.
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 very 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.

NOTE: If positioning on carpet, place caster pads under front casters only to level (if necessary).
Operating Tips for Best Performance
1.Position the humidifier at least 2 inches (5 cm) from any wall and away from any heat registers.
2.Do not restrict airflow from entering or exiting the humidifier.
3.Use only EPA registered bacteriostat to retard bacteria growth that may cause odors and may be harmful to your health.
4.Perform regular cleaning as instructed in “Cleaning and Maintenance”section of this manual.
5.Replace the evaporative wicking filters at least once per humidification season or more depending on water conditions in your area.

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.
Water Fill
WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock, always unplug humidifier before cleaning or servicing.
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. Each “Side-Fill Cap” must be facing the rear of the unit.
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.
