American Lung Association® Health House® Program and Honeywell Working Together For Better Air

Did you know that the average person breathes 3400 gallons(12,870 liters) of air each day * and spends 90% of that day inside?**

Indoor air quality products from Honeywell are designed to help make your home more comfortable—from zoning products that allow you to control the temperature in individual areas of the home to humidifiers and comfort control centers that help balance the moisture content of your indoor air.

Honeywell is proud to be a partner of the American Lung Association® Health House® program that provides guidelines for constructing homes with improved air quality and ventilation.

OPERATING YOUR HUMIDIFIER

Your Honeywell HE220A and HE260A Humidifiers are controlled by the H8908A Convertible Humidity Control installed on either an interior wall in the living area or on the return air duct. Choose the humidity control setting using the combination relative humidity/outdoor temperature setting scale on your humidity control. Match the dial setting to the outdoor temperature for optimizing the humidity level while reducing the moisture condensation on your windows. Use the table below to adjust the humidity control to the recommended setting.

NOTE: As the outside temperature drops, the recommended humidity control setting

is lowered to accommodate for dewpoint effects. These settings should reduce the accumulation of moisture and ice on your windows and in other areas of your home.

Some indoor activities such as cooking, showering and clothes drying can cause excessive levels of humidity and start the accumulation of moisture on your windows.

NOTE: If this condition persists for more than a few hours, set the humidity control to

the lowest setting to turn off the humidifier. If the condition does not improve, ventilate your home to remove the moisture.

Your Honeywell HE220B and HE260B Humidifiers are controlled by the Honeywell H1008 Automatic Humidity Control with HumidiCalc+ Software. The automatic humidity control is mounted in the return air duct where it can be exposed to the return air airstream.The HumidiCalc+ Software inside your automatic humidity control is designed to automatically adjust the humidity level based on indoor temperature and humidity, inferred or measured outdoor temperature, and the frost factor dial setting. The frost factor allows for variations in furnace size, window insulation and average daily

climate temperature.

The Automatic Humidity Control with HumidiCalc+ Software requires an initial adjustment period. Set the frost factor dial on 5 and use the following table to adjust the frost factor—only one setting at a time—increasing the dial setting if you feel you need more humidity, or reducing the setting if you see moisture on the inside of your windows. For more precise humidity adjustment, set the frost factor between dial settings. Allow two days for the humidity level to subside before making further adjustments. Once you have tuned in the proper setting, you should never have to adjust it again. HumidiCalc+ Software takes over and makes any future adjustments caused by varying outdoor temperatures, thus reducing moisture build-up on windows while maintaining the optimal humidity level.

Humidity Level Recommended Adjustment

Insufficient humidity Increase the frost factor dial by one setting.

Condensation on windows Decrease the frost factor dial by one setting.

HOW YOUR HUMIDIFIER WORKS

Your Honeywell humidifier uses the principle that vapor (evaporated water) is created when warm air blows over a water soaked area. As the vapor circulates, the relative humidity rises.

Your humidity control monitors the relative humidity and activates the humidifier accordingly. The humidifier water supply disburses water evenly over the humidifier pad. The warm dry air from the furnace passes over the humidifier pad and picks up the moist air to circulate it through your home.

Humidified air feels warmer and more comfortable so you may be able to lower your thermostat heating setpoint and save money on your heating fuel bills. The end result is that your humidifier gives you a comfortable environment that is also energy efficient.

MAINTAINING YOUR HUMIDIFIER

A regular maintenance program prolongs the life of your humidifier and provides a more comfortable home. Frequency of cleaning depends on the condition of your water.

You can use either hard or soft water in your humidifier, but hard water mineral deposits are more difficult to clean than soft water deposits.

7. Carefully scrape any mineral deposits from the tray and frame. Be sure the frame drain

hole has nothing blocking it.

8. Clean the humidifier pad with a putty knife.

NOTE: If excessive mineral deposits are present, replace with a new pad.

9. Disconnect the drain hose from the drain fitting on the bottom of the humidifier housing.

10. Clean the drain fitting, if necessary.

11. Bend the drain hose to loosen any mineral deposits.

12. lush the drain hose with pressurized water (a running tap) to clean the hose.

13. Reattach the drain hose to the drain fitting.

14. Slide the humidifier pad back into the frame.

15. Snap the water nozzle back onto the tray.

16. Reattach the tray to the frame.

17. Place the humidifier pad assembly in the humidifier housing and press until the assembly

is completely seated. Be careful not to pinch or kink the water feed tube.

18. Replace the humidifier cover.

19. Verify the humidifier operation by following the steps in the Checking the

Humidifier for Proper Operation section.

End of Humidification Season

Clean the humidifier and shut it off at the end of the heating season. Use the Every 1 to 3 Months section, steps 1 through 18 to shut down for the season.

IMPORTANT

Be sure the humidifier power is off.

Vacation

When leaving on vacation, turn off the humidfier water supply and your humidity control. Turn on the water supply and reset your humidity control when you return.

CHECKING YOUR HUMIDIFIER OPERATION

After winter startup or servicing, check the humidifier operation:

1. Turn on the humidifier power and water supply.

2. Turn the H908A Convertible Humidity Control to the highest setting, or the H1008A Automatic Humidity Control to the test position, and set the thermostat to 10°F (6°C) above the room temperature.
