installed either on an interior wall in the living area, or on the return air duct. Choose the humidity control setting using the combination relative humidity/ outdoor temperature setting scale on your humidity control dial. Match the dial setting to the outdoor temperature for optimizing the humidity level while reducing the moisture condensation on your windows. The table below can also be used to adjust the humidity control to the recommended setting.

NOTE: As the outside temperature drops, the recommended humidity control setting

is lowered to accommodate for effects of dewpoint. These settings should reduce the accumulation of moisture and ice on your windows and in other areas of your home.

Some indoor activities such as cooking, showering and clothes drying can cause excessive levels of humidity and start the accumulation of moisture on your windows.

NOTE: If this condition persists for more than a few hours, set the humidity control to

the lowest setting to turn off the humidifier. If the condition does not improve, ventilate your home to remove the moisture.

HE365B

Your Enviracaire Elite™ HE365B Humidifier is controlled by the Honeywell H1008 Automatic Humidity Control with HumidiCalc+™. The automatic humidity control is mounted in the return air duct where it can be exposed to the air stream of the return air.

HE365A,B POWERED FLOW-THROUGH HUMIDIFIER WITH

The HumidiCalc+™ software inside your automatic humidity control is designed to measure or infer outdoor temperature and automatically adjust the humidity based on the frost factor setting that the homeowner sets to allow for variances in furnace size, window type and insulation.

The Automatic Humidity Control with HumidiCalc+™ requires some initial adjustments when you first install your HE365B. For maximum humidification, set the H1008 to 10 and run the fan continuously. Check for condensation on windows after a cold night. If there is no condensation, leave the setting at 10. If there is condensation, lower the frost factor dial one setting. Continue to check for condensation on cold mornings until the correct humidity setting is reached for your home. Allow two days between adjustments to determine if further adjustment is necessary. Once you have tuned in the proper setting, you should never have to adjust it again. HumidiCalc+™ takes over and makes any future adjustments caused by varying outdoor temperatures, thus reducing moisture build-up on windows while maintaining the optimal humidity level.

Humidity Level Recommended Setting

Insufficient humidity Increase the frost factor dial by one setting.

Condensation on windows Decrease the frost factor dial by one setting.

HOW YOUR HUMIDIFIER WORKS

Your Enviracaire Elite™ humidifier uses the principle that vapor (evaporated water) is created when warm air blows over a water soaked area. As the vapor circulates, the relative humidity rises.

Your humidity control monitors the relative humidity and activates the humidifier accordingly. The humidifier has a water supply that dispenses water evenly over the AgION™ antimicrobial humidifier pad. The warm dry air, from the furnace, passes over the humidifier pad and picks up the moist air to circulate it throughout your home.

Humidified air feels warmer and more comfortable so you may be able to lower your thermostat heating setpoint, which saves money on your heating fuel bills. The end result is that your humidifier gives you a cleaner, more comfortable environment that is also energy efficient.

MAINTAINING YOUR HUMIDIFIER

.A regular maintenance program prolongs the life of your humidifier and provides a more comfortable home. Frequency of cleaning depends on the condition of your water. You can use either hard or soft water in your humidifier, but hard water mineral deposits are more difficult to clean than soft water deposits. For optimum performance, Honeywell recommends replacing the AgION™ antimicrobial pad once a year. Use the following procedure to clean your Honeywell humidifier.
