Limited Warranty

This product comes with a two (2) year limited warranty on parts. The warranty provides that
a replacement will be furnished for any part of the product that fails in normal use and service
during the applicable warranty period specified, in accordance with the warranty’s terms. The
replacement part is warranted for only the unexpired portion of the original warranty.

All parts are warranted for a period of TWO (2) YEARS after the effective date. The effective
date is the date of installation if properly documented. Otherwise, it is the date of
manufacture plus twenty four (24) months.

STANDARD PROVISIONS AND CONDITIONS

The following terms are common to all of PROSTOCK’S individual product warranties.

THIS WARRANTY WILL NOT APPLY: a) to defects or malfunctions resulting from failure to
properly install, operate or maintain the unit in accordance with the manufacturer’s printed
instructions; b) to damage from abuse, accident, fire, flood, and the like; c) to parts used in
connection with normal maintenance, such as cleaning or replacing air filters; d) to units that
are not installed in the United States of America or Canada; e) to units that are not installed
in accordance with applicable local codes, ordinances and good trade practices; or f) to defects
or damage caused by the use of any attachment, accessory or component not authorized by
PROSTOCK.

SHIPPING COSTS: You will be responsible for the cost of shipping warranty replacement parts
from our factory to our PROSTOCK distributor and from the distributor to the location of your
product. You also are responsible for any shipping cost of returning the failed part to the
distributor. (If in Alaska, Hawaii, or Canada, you also must pay the shipping cost of returning
the failed part to the port of entry into the continental U.S.)

SERVICE LABOR RESPONSIBILITY: This Warranty does not cover any labor expenses for service,
nor for removing or reinstalling parts. All such expenses are your responsibility, unless a service
labor agreement exists between you and your contractor.

HOW TO OBTAIN WARRANTY PERFORMANCE: You must promptly report any failure covered
by this warranty to the installing contractor or distributor. Normally, the installing contractor
from whom the unit was purchased will be able to take the necessary corrective action by
obtaining through his PROSTOCK distributor any replacement parts. If the contractor is not
available, simply contact any other local contractor handling PROSTOCK products.

The name and location of a local contractor can usually be found in your telephone directory
or by contacting a PROSTOCK distributor. If necessary, the following PROSTOCK office can
advise you of the nearest PROSTOCK distributor:

IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, SHALL NOT EXTEND BEYOND THE APPLICABLE WARRANTY PERIODS SPECIFIED
ABOVE, PROSTOCK SOLE LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO DEFECTIVE PARTS SHALL BE AS SET
FORTH IN THIS WARRANTY, AND ANY CLAIMS FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES ARE EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an
implied warranty lasts, or for the exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, so the
above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

This Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from
state to state.

Description of Parts

Solenoid Valve

All brass construction, controls the flow of water to the humidifier. The solenoid
valve will make a clicking sound as the plunger pin opens and closes. If this part
fails to operate correctly, water will flow continuously through the humidifier and
down the drain.

Conical Mesh Filter

Traps small particles in water supply that can clog and damage the solenoid valve.
Must be cleaned or replaced when water flow is impeded or humidification is
reduced.

Evaporator Pad

Allows water to evaporate as warm, dry air is drawn through it. Must be replaced
on a regular basis to maintain efficiency.

Fluid Restrictor

Located within the water tubing of the humidifier, it controls the amount of water
that flows through the humidifier.

Side Panels

Plastic construction and right or left hand discharge allows the unit to be installed
in a variety of installations. 1” wide collar allows for more secure installation of
bypass duct.

Water Distribution Tray

Felt wicking allows even distribution of water across surface of evaporator pad. As
mineral deposits build up, the tray will effectively channel the water through the
evaporator pad. Holes in tray must be cleaned periodically.

Introduction

Introduction

The benefits of a properly humidified environment (35-50%, Relative Humidity) are many. They
include both personal comfort as well as the preservation of furniture, draperies, carpets,
wooden floors and cabinets, paintings, pianos, etc.. Your home will be more comfortable at a
lower temperature (i.e.: 68° F) at 30-40% Relative Humidity (RH) than at 71° to 72° F without
controlled humidity. Since every degree of temperature setback represents about 3% of your
heating costs, this can possibly represent a significant annual savings.

During the heating season, cold air is brought into the home and heated. When heated, this air
dries out and greatly increases its capacity to hold more moisture. By using a humidifier, a source
of water is provided to satisfy this increased moisture holding capability, rather than having it
drawn from our body surface and the surrounding hygroscopic furnishings in the home.
