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.
