Your new Moist AIR humidifier is designed
to satisfy home humidity requirements
through the principle of evaporation of
water into the air.
After water is added to the unit, the filter
begins to soak up the water and become
totally saturated in approximately 30 min­utes. Air is drawn in from the back of the
humidifier by means of a circulation fan
and drawn through the filter. As air passes
through the filter, moisture is absorbed by
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.

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

Step 1

Place humidifier in area of house where most
humidity is needed, or one which would likely
result in moist air being circulated throughout
the house such as near a cold air return. Moist
air (humidity) produced will disperse into the
whole house, but area closest to the unit will
have the highest humidity.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock,
always unplug humidifier before mov­ing it. Even turned off, a plugged in
humidifier still has electricity in it.

Use the bottom of the base to lift and carry the
humidifier as shown. Be sure the water reser­voirs are properly attached before moving.

IMPORTANT: Keep the reservoirs tight against
the housing between them. If you don’t, the
reservoirs may detach from the base. The

humidifier could come apart and fall.

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 rear panel in order for the humidifier to
operate at peak efficiency.
NOTE: Due to release of cool, moist air from
humidifier, it is best to direct air away from home
thermostat. 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.

Water Fill

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

Step 1

Remove water reservoir as shown. Pivot the
reservoir away from the unit by pushing in at
the bottom, and pulling the handle. This will
disengage two locking tabs at the base of
the reservoir.

Step 2

Lift the water reservoir vertically to remove
from the unit.

Location Instructions

4

Locate nearest 120V A.C. wall socket in the
location desired, preferably on inside wall.
Plug in the electrical cord.

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

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.
