How Your Humidifier Works

Your new MoistAIR®Evaporative
humidifier is designed to satisfy home
humidity requirements through the
principle of evaporation of water in
the air.

Once the filter becomes saturated, air is
drawn in, passes through the filter and
moisture is absorbed into the air.
All evaporation occurs in the humidifier
so any residue remains in the filter.
This natural process of evaporation
virtually eliminates white dust.

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.

Step 1. Getting Your Humidifier Up and Running

Assembly

Remove casters, water bottle, housing
assembly, and filter from the box and
reverse the base. Press casters into the
bottom of the base manually. Do not use
tools. Set the base upright.

Replace the filter, housing assembly and
bottle (See “Replacement and Care of
Filters”, page 11 for reference).

Step 2. Location and Electrical Hook Up

WARNING: For your own safety, do

not use humidifier if any parts are
damaged or missing.

Selecting A Location

Place humidifier on a flat level surface,
take extra care in leveling when placing
the unit on carpet. Position the humidifier
where the most humidity is needed or
where the most air will be circulated
throughout the house such as near a
cold air return.

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 occurs
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 thermostat and hot air
registers and to position humidifier next
to an inside wall. Unit should not be
placed where cold air from outside walls
or warm air from a hot air register blows
directly on it.

Positioning The Unit

The humidifier should be positioned with
the back (cord exit side) and left side, at
least 2 inches(5cm) away from the wall.
Air needs to enter through all of the
louvres in the housing assembly in order
for the humidifier to operate at peak
efficiency.

NOTE: Be sure that the humidistat, which
is located on the power cord, is free from
obstruction and away from any hot air
source.

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.
