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%.
When Outdoor Recommended Indoor
Temperature is; Relative Humidity is:
-IO°F -24°C 20%

To Operate the Controls
Digital Display
Press the power/speed button once to
turn the unit on _ ._::_ Initially there is a
slight delay while the electronics
calibrate. Two bars (- -) appear 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 (WHISPER) F1 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

are employed.

"Digital Display
Speed Button _)
This humidifier is equipped with a 3-
speed fan control. Initially depressing
the speed button will display the current
speed setting. Each push of the speed
button advances the mode through the
settings of (HIGH) F3, (MEDIUM) F2,
(WHISPER) F1 and (AUTO) A.
The selected setting is displayed on the
digital readout. The higher the setting,
the faster water is evaporated and
released into the air. F1 (WHISPER) is
the quietest setting and is provided for
conditions that do not require a rapid
evaporation rate.
When (AUTO) A is selected the
humidifier will determine the required
fan speed needed to bring the actual
room humidity up to the set humidity.
