Humidifier Operation
Your new Emerson MoistAir humidifier is designed to satisfy home humidity requirements through the principle of evaporation of water in the air.
After water is added to the humidifier, the filter begins to soak up the water and will become saturated in approximately 30 minutes. Air drawn in through the openings in the lower housing passes through the filter by means of a circulation fan. As air passes through the filter, 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.
This natural process of evaporation helps eliminate the chance of white dust in the humidified output air.
CAUTION: Use only liquid EPA Registered Bacteriostat available from your local retail store. Under no circumstances should you use water treatment products designed for Roto belt or Ultrasonic humidifiers.
Humidified air is then released through the top
Dry air enters through the louvers in the housing
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.
Unpacking and Assembly
Your new Emerson MoistAir humidifier is supplied with four swivel casters for ease of maneuverability. Remove the casters from the top of the packing material inside the carton. The casters press into the bottom of the base at the locations shown. To make assembly easier remove the water bottle, housing assembly and filter and flip the base upside to install. See steps 2-4 of "Replacement and Care of Filters" section on page 12 for procedure. Take care not to damage the floats or base assembly if choosing this method of assembly. Press casters into location beside X.
Note: Casters should be installed manually. Do not use any tools to install them. Once installed return the unit to its original state and proceed to "Location Instructions.

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 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. Placing the unit level is very important. Special attention should be given to unit’s level if the humidifier is located on carpeting. Moist air (humidity) produced will disperse into the whole house, but the 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.
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) and left side, at least 2 inches away from the wall. Air needs to enter through all of the louvers in the housing assembly in order for the humidifier to operate at peak efficiency.
At least 2" from wall
Note: Be sure humidistat located approximately 4 inches outside humidifier body on power cord is free from obstruction and away from any hot air register.
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. |
5 |
|
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.

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 water bottle located to the right of the upper grill. The water bottle holds 1.9 gallons of water. The humidifier should be positioned where it will be operating.
To fill the whole house humidifier, grasp the bottle handle at the top of the bottle and lift it straight up and away from humidifier base. Take care not to bump or damage spring valve assembly on bottom of bottle.
NOTE: If it is desired to use approved bacteriostat, follow directions correctly. The bottle of the whole house humidifier will hold 1.9 gallons of water.
The water bottle is designed with a Side Fill Cap. Remove the “Side Fill Cap” on the side of the water bottle by twisting counterclockwise.
Place the opening of the water bottle under a water faucet and fill. If desired, add liquid bacteriostat to help control the build up of bacteria and algae. Do not use solid water treatments. Solid debris could make the lower valve leak.
Install the “Side Fill Cap” by twisting clockwise. Hand tighten only.
Check for possible leaks by performing the following:
1.Grasp bottle handle and hold the bottle upright over a sink.
2.Press up on valve plunger for about one second to let out a little water.
3.Release the plunger.
