How Your Humidifier Works Your new 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. Getting Your Humidifier Up and Running Once removed from its carton, remove all packing materials, Verify the filter is properly installed (See page 10). Step 1. Location WARNING: For your own safety, do not use humidifier if any parts are ] damaged or missing. / Selecting a Location Place humidifier on a flat Ievel 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
