Humidifier Operations

Check Filter Indicator
The ability of any humidifier to efficiently sup-
ply humidity output relies heavily on the condi-
tion of the filter. As the filter loads with trapped
impurities found in water it gradually loses its
wicking capability. When this happens mois-
ture output is reduced and the humidifier has
to work longer to satisfy the selected setting.
When such a condition occurs, a flashing
"CHECK FILTER" message will be displayed,
disconnect the power and check the condition
of the filter.
If a buildup of deposits and severe discol-
oration is evident replace the filter to restore
maximum efficiency.
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 humidifi-
er until a reading of 1% above the SET
point is achieved. At this point the fan will
stop. The fan will remain off until the
ROOM reading falls 3% below the SET
point again.
Dry Out Mode
When both the water bottle and the base
are empty the red REFILL light will
illuminate and the humidifier will automat-
ically switch into DRY OUT MODE. The
message DRY OUT MODE will appear
on the digital display and the fan speed
will automatically switch to LOW speed.
Note: The digital display will show the
speed the humidifier was operating in
before the REFILL light turned on even
though the fan is operating on LOW
speed. During this time the humidifier will
continue to cycle the fan on and off as
required until the filter is completely dry
thus producing no moisture output. Once
dry, the fan will shut off leaving you with a
dry humidifier that is less prone to mold
