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 approxi-mately 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: 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.

CAUTION: Use only EPA Registered
Bacteriostat. Under no circumstances should
you use water treatment products designed
for Roto belt or Ultrasonic humidifiers.

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.

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.

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 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.

6

QUARKSP6647 HD14070:SP6647 .qxd 12/10/2009 3:39 PM Page 7

Water Fill (continued)

Each water bottle is designed with a “Side-Fill
Cap” that is easily removable. Remove the “Side­Fill Cap” on the side of the water bottle by twisting
counterclockwise.

Place the opening of the water bottle 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.

Check for possible leaks by performing the
following:

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

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

3. Release the plunger.

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

5. If you hear air bubbles or see leaks, retighten
the “Side-Fill Cap” and repeat Steps 1-4.

Wipe off excess water from the bottle.
Position the water bottle back into the unit by

grasping the water bottle handle and lower it 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 filter to saturate for 30 minutes before
operation.

Operating the Controls

Where you set your desired humidity levels
depends on your personal comfort level, outside
temperature and inside temperature. A starting set
point of 30% - 40% ROOM humidity is
recommended but there may be conditions that
require a different setting.

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%.

Speed Button

This humidifier is equipped with a
3-speed fan control. Initially depressing 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,
and (Ultra Quiet) F1.
The selected setting is displayed on the digital
readout. The higher the setting, the faster water is
evaporated and released into the air. F1 (Ultra
Quiet) is the quietest setting and is provided for
conditions that do not require a rapid evaporation
rate.

To Operate the Controls

Digital Display

Press the power/speed 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%.

NOTE: The default settings at initial startup are
(Ultra Quiet) 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. If the unit is
unplugged the original default settings are
employed.

* Humidifier fan should operate at initial start up. If it

does not, refer to, “Fan not operating (digital display is
illuminated)” in the “Trouble Shooting” section on page

14.

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%. If the
room humidity level is equal to or less than 20% the
display will show a flashing 20.

8

QUARKSP6647 HD14070:SP6647 .qxd 12/10/2009 3:39 PM Page 9

Operating the Controls (continued)

The SET readout has a range of 25% to 65% 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% operates the humidifier continuously
regardless of the ROOM reading. The humidistat
that senses the readings is located on the power
cord. Insure that this humidistat is free from
obstruction.

Using Your Humidifier

Refill Display Function

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

Manual Dry Out

At the end of the humidification season or if you do
not plan to run the humidifier for one week or
more, a manual dry out mechanism is provided to
completely dry out the humidifier cabinet.

To do this, simply slide the float retainer located at
the back of the humidifier cabinet to the top
position of the slot it is located in. This will hold the
float in an upward position and the fan will run until
you turn the power off.

NOTE: Be sure to position float retainer to the
normal operating mode (lowest position in slot) for
normal humidifier operation.

Below is a diagram of the slot the float retainer is
located in, at the back of the cabinet.

Using Your Humidifier (continued)

Check Filter

The ability of any humidifier to efficiently supply
humidity output relies heavily on the condition of the
filter. As the filter 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 motor operation. When the
display shows an alternating “CF” and “room
humidity” setting at 5 second intervals it is a
reminder to check the filter condition.

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

Refer to “Replacement and Care of Filter” on page

11. If a build-up of deposits or severe discoloration is
evident replace the filter to restore maximum
efficiency.

Indicator

Humidistat

The humidistat located on the power cord senses
the percentage of humidity in the air. It 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 humidistat, which is located on
the power cord, is free from obstructions and is
away from any hot air source.
