Carefully remove the humidifier and all
other contents from the carton.
There is a black strip that contains six
pads for the bottom of the humidifier.
Remove each pad and place one on
each of the six legs on the bottom of the
base as shown, by the solid dots.
Once installed return the humidifier to
it’s original state and proceed to
“Locations Instructions

Your new 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 local Retail store. Under no cir­cumstances should you use water
treatment products designed for
Roto belt or Ultrasonic humidifiers.

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.

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.

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 directly 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.
