INTRODUCTION

Your new humidifier adds invisible moisture to your home by moving dry inlet air through a saturated wick. As air moves through the wick, the water evaporates into the air, leaving behind any white dust, minerals, or dissolved and suspended solids in the wick. Because the water is evaporated, there is just clean and invisible moist air.

As the evaporative wick traps accumulated minerals from the water, its ability to absorb and evaporate water decreases. We recommend changing the wick at the beginning of every season. In hard water areas, more frequent replacement may be necessary to maintain your humidifier’s efficiency.

Use only AIRCARE® or Essick Air® / MoistAIR® brand replacement wicks and chemicals. To order parts, wicks and chemicals call 1-800-547-3888. This series of humidifiers uses wick # HDC12. Only AIRCARE® or Essick Air® / MoistAIR® evaporative wicks guarantee the certified output of your humidifier. Use of other brands of wicks voids the certification of output and may void your warranty.

NOTES ON LOCATION:

In order to get the most effective use from your humidifier, it is important to position the unit where the most humidity is needed or where the moist air will be circulated throughout the house such as near a cold air return. If the unit is positioned close to a window, condensation may form on the window pane. If this occurs, the unit should be repositioned in another location.

Place humidifier on a flat, level surface. Do NOT position the unit directly in front of a hot air duct or radiator. If placing on carpet, use caster pads to ensure level placement.

Due to release of cool, moist air from the humidifier, it is best to direct air away from thermostat and hot air registers. Place the unit on a level surface 2 inches from the wall.

Front of cabinet

Front caster

Caster pad

Carpet or uneven surface

If positioning on carpet or

uneven surface, place caster pads under front casters only to level (if necessary).

NOTE: The use of a buble level will ensure placement for proper bottle draining.

FILLING

WARNING: Disconnect power before filling, cleaning or servicing unit. Keep grille dry at all times.

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

NOTE: Fill unit with cool, fresh (preferably unsoftened) water. If you only have softened water available in your home, you can use it, but mineral buildup will occur more quickly.

NOTE: On initial fill up, it may take approximately 30 minutes for the wicks to become fully saturated.

CAUTION: Use only EPA Registered Bacteriostat. Under no circumstances should you use Water Treatment products intended for Rotobelt or Ultrasonic humidifiers.

We recommend using AIRCARE® or Essick Air® Bacteriostat Treatment P/N 1970 when you refill the water reservoir to eliminate bacterial growth. Add bacteriostat according to the instructions on the bottle. Call 1-800-547-3888 to order.

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, place the included caster pads under the front two casters of the humidifier only.

1. 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. When refilling the bottles ensure correct placement for proper function.

The water bottles should rest in the front of the cabinet. Each “Side-Fill Cap” must be facing the rear of the unit.

Each water bottle is designed with a “Side-Fill Cap” and bottom valve cap. Before filling each bottle check that the bottle valve cap is on securely.

NOTE: A fill hose, P/N 4400, that attaches to a faucet can be purchased by calling1-800-547-3888.

5

2.To fill, remove the “Side-Fill Cap” and place the opening under a water faucet (the bottle should fit under a four-inch clearance faucet). Fill with recommended mixture of cold water and Bacteriostat (if necessary) only. Solid debris could make the valve leak. Install the “Side-Fill Cap” by twisting clockwise. Hand tighten only.

NOTE: Both bottle caps have rubber washers in them. Do Not Remove.

3.Check for possible leaks by performing the following:

a.Grasp bottle handle and hold the bottle upright over a sink.

b.Inspect the bottom valve for leaks.

c.Press up on the valve cap plunger for about one second to let out a little water.

d.Release the plunger.

e.Listen for air bubbles. Look for leaks around the“Side-Fill Cap”.

f.If you hear air bubbles or see leaks, retighten the “Side-Fill Cap” and repeat Steps a-e.

4. Wipe off excess water from the bottle.

5. Position the water bottle back into the unit by grasping the water bottle handle and lowering it gently into the

cabinet until the bottle sits on pads at bottom of cabinet. The “Side-Fill Cap”

must be facing the rear of the cabinet. When positioned properly, the plunger

will open and water will flow into the cabinet. The water level will

automatically remain at approximately 1/2” until the bottles are empty. Allow

the wick to saturate for 30 minutes before operation.

ABOUT HUMIDITY

Where you set your desired humidity levels depends on your personal comfort level, the outside temperature and the inside temperature.

NOTE: Recent CDC tests show that the chances of flu transmission are greatly reduced at levels of 43% humidity or higher.

You may wish to purchase a hygrometer* to measure the humidity level in your home. The following is a chart of recommended humidity settings.

*Model 1990 digital hygrometer is available for purchase by calling 1-800-547-3888.

NOTE: External hygrometer readings and humidistat readings may differ. Humidity levels can vary significantly even in one room.

6

IMPORTANT: Water damage may result if condensation starts to form on windows or walls. Humidity SET point should be lowered until condensation no longer forms. We recommend room humidity levels do not exceed 50%.

30°	-1°	40 - 45%

* or higher

This unit has an humidistat located on the power cord. It

senses the percentage of humidity in the air and causes the humidifier to cycle on and off to maintain the selected humidity SET point. The fan will turn on if the

“ROOM” reading falls 3% below the SET point and will continue to run the humidifier until a reading of 1% above the SET point is achieved. The

fan will turn off until the ROOM reading falls 3% below the SET point again.

NOTE: Be sure the humidistat located on the power cord is at least two inches away from the wall, free from obstruction and away from any hot air source.

CONTROLS AND OPERATION

Where you set your desired humidity levels depends on your personal comfort level, outside temperature and inside temperature. A starting set point of 30%

to 40% ROOM humidity is recommended but there may be conditions that require a different setting.

NOTE: If excessive condensation occurs, reduce fan to a lower speed setting.

DIGITAL DISPLAY

Press the power button once to turn the unit on. Initially there is a slight delay while the electronics calibrate.Two bars (- -) appear during this time. Once calibration is complete a ROOM humidity reading between 20% - 95% will be displayed. A flashing 20 display indicates that the room humidity is less than 20%.

Digital Display

NOTE: The default settings at initial startup are (LOW) F1 fan speed and 65%

SET humidity. After desired settings are selected by the user, they remain as long as the unit remains plugged in and there is no power interruption. When the unit is unplugged, the original default settings are reinstated.

7

FAN SPEED

This humidifier is equipped with a 3-speed fan control. Initially pressing the speed button will display the current speed setting. Each push of the speed button advances the mode through the settings of

(HIGH) F3, (MEDIUM) F2 , (LOW) F1 and A (AUTO).

HUMIDITY CONTROL

This button allows you to adjust the humidity to suit your needs. This humidifier will automatically cycle on and off as required to maintain the selected setting.

The readout displays both actual (ROOM) and desired (SET)

humidity percentage (%) settings when humidity control button is pressed. The ROOM readout has a range of 20% to 95% RH. If the room humidity level is equal to or less than 20% RH the display will show a flashing 20.

The SET readout has a range of 25% to 65% RH and is adjusted in increments of 5%. Initially depressing the humidity button will display the current humidity setting. Each additional press of the button increases the setting by 5%. A SET point of 65% RH operates the humidifier continuously regardless of the ROOM reading. The humidistat that senses the readings is located on the power cord. Insure that it is free from obstruction.

REFILL DISPLAY

For maximum run time both the bottle and the base should be filled. When both the bottle and the base are empty, the display alternates the room humidity reading and “F” (FILL), indicating additional water is required.

CHECK FILTER INDICATOR

The ability of any humidifier to efficiently supply humidity output relies heavily on the condition of the wick (filter). As the wick loads with impurities it gradually loses its wicking capability. When this happens, moisture output is reduced and the humidifier has to work longer to satisfy the selected setting. This humidifier has a check

filter reminder timed to appear after 720 hours of operation. When the display shows an alternating “CF” and “room humidity” setting at 5 second intervals it is a reminder to check the filter (wick) condition.

NOTE: Some areas have high water mineral content causing the need for more frequent wick changes.

Reset the Check Filter “CF” function each time you replace a wick by unplugging the unit from the power source for 1-2 minutes, then plug it in again.

Refer to “Replacement of Wick” section below. If a build-up of deposits or severe discoloration is evident, replace the wick to restore maximum efficiency.

CONTROL LOCK FEATURE

To avoid unwanted tampering with the humidifier settings the controls can be locked.

CONTROL LOCK ACTIVATION PROCEDURE

After the humidifier functions have been set up, hold the power

button down for 5 seconds. The display will show “CL” for 2 seconds; release the power button and the control will resume the display of the room humidity. The humidifier will continue to function with the locked in settings. If buttons are operated while “CL” is active, the “CL” is displayed and settings are unaffected.

8

Float with retainer clip (reference)

For normal operation,

float retainer clip should be in bottom section of middle slot.

Fasten float retainer clip into top section of middle slot for manual dryout

CONTROL LOCK DEACTIVATION PROCEDURE

To deactivate the “CL” function simply press and hold the power button for 5 seconds. “CL” will flash at the rate of 1 second on and 1 second off for a period of 2 seconds and then resume the display of room humidity.

MANUAL DRY OUT
