How Your Humidifier Works
Your new NOMA® 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.
Humidified air is then released through the top 
Dry air enters through the louvres in the housing
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 5 cm (2”) 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.
At least 5 cm (2") from wall
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.

Step 3. Water Fill
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.
After the humidifier is positioned where it will be operating you are ready to fill the humidifier. The bottle lifts straight up and away from the base. Take care not to bump or damage fill valve assembly on the bottom of the bottle.
Remove the side fill cap and fill with water. Replace cap and twist by hand until secure. Hold the bottle upright over the sink. Press up on the valve plunger for one second to release a small amount of water. If you hear air bubbles or see leaks around the side fill cap or Spring Valve Assembly, retighten and recheck.
CAUTION: Use only EPA Registered Bacteriostat. Under no circumstances should you use water treatment products designed for Roto belt or Ultrasonic humidifiers.
Place the water bottle back into the humidifier base. When positioned properly, the plunger will open and the water will flow into the base. The base will hold the entire contents of the water bottle. Once the bottle is empty, remove it and repeat the filling process. The humidifier is now filled to capacity. To benefit from less frequent filling let the humidifier exhaust both the water from the bottle and the base before filling.

Step 4. 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%.

To Operate the Controls
Digital Display
Press the power button 
once to display the digital readout*. Initially there is a slight delay while the electronics calibrate.
Two bars (- -) flash 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 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 13 of this manual.

Operating the Controls (cont’d.)
Speed Button 
This humidifier is equipped with a 3-speed fan control. Each push of the speed button advances the mode through the settings of HIGH, MEDIUM, ULTRA QUIET, and AUTO. The selected setting is displayed on the digital readout. The higher the setting, the faster water is evaporated and released into the air. ULTRA QUIET is the quietest setting and is provided for conditions that do not require a rapid evaporation rate.

How Auto Control Works
The AUTO setting allows the humidifier to manage it’s speed range to maintain your desired humidity setting. It will automatically cycle to the most efficient speed to achieve the desired humidity. Here is how the fan will operate:
•HIGH speed if room humidity is 10% or greater RH (Relative Humidity) below the SET point.
•MEDIUM speed if room humidity is 10 - 5% RH below the SET point.
•ULTRA QUIET speed if room humidity is 5% or less RH below the SET point.
If the room humidity is not increasing at the current fan speed during a 15 minute period, the fan speed increases to the next higher speed until the humidity SET point is reached.
NOTE: The humidifier may run on HIGH for an extended period of time if the actual room humidity is extremely low.
Humidity Control
These buttons allow you to adjust the humidity to suit your needs. This humidifier will automatically cycle on and off as required to maintain the selected setting. Press the humidity buttons 
to cycle the SET humidity readout in 5% increments between 25% and 65%.RH Once you have set the desired humidity, after 5 seconds the readout will change to the actual room humidity.
NOTE: When the ROOM humidity is displayed, pressing the set humidity buttons once will display the current SET point. To increase or decrease the current SET point, press either the “+” or “-” button until the desired SET point is reached.
A SET point of 65% RH operates the humidifier continuously regardless of the ROOM reading. The humidistat that senses the readings is located on the power cord. Insure that it is free from obstruction.

Check Filter Indicator
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 operation. When the CK FILTER message is displayed, disconnect the power cord and check the condition of the filter.
If a build-up of deposits or severe discolouration is evident replace the filter to restore maximum efficiency. The CK FILTER message is reset when the humidifier is plugged back in.

Using Your Humidifier (cont’d.)
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 that the humidistat, which is located on the power cord, is free from obstruction and away from any hot air source.
