Humidifier Operations

Your new Emerson humidifier is designed to satisfy home humidity requirements through the principle of evaporation of water into the air.

After water is added to the bottle and positioned in the humidifier, the filters begin to soak up the water and become totally saturated in approximately 30 minutes. Air is drawn in from the rear of the humidifier and through the filters by means of one circulation fan. As air passes through the filters, moisture is absorbed into the air and then released through the top of the humidifier. This moist air is released in the form of vapor. No water droplets will enter the home. All evaporation into the air takes place in the humidifier, which means that the residue left by evaporating water is not passed into the home, but remains in the filter.

.

CAUTION: Use only liquid EPA

Registered Bacteriostat available from your local retail store or call

(800) 654-3545 to order. Under no circumstances should you use water treatment products for Roto belt or

Ultrasonic humidifiers.

CAUTION: Keep your humidifier clean.

While humidifiers do not cause colds, some studies suggest that dirty humidifiers can cause cold-like symptoms in some people. To avoid this, clean your humidifier weekly with cleaners specifically recommended for evaporative humidifiers.

Assembly

Your new Emerson Moist AIR humidifier is completely assembled for you to use.

Electrical Hook-Up

Locate nearest 120V A.C. wall socket in the location desired, preferably on inside wall.

Plug in the electrical cord.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or shock hazard, do not use extension cords. Humidifier should be plugged directly into a 120V A.C. outlet.

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this humidifier has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to

Follow the instructions of this owner’s manual for proper usage.

install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

Location Instructions

WARNING: For your own safety, do not use humidifier if any parts are damaged or missing.

1. Place humidifier on a flat level surface in area of house where most humidity is needed, or an area which would likely result in moist air being circulated throughout the house, such as near a cold air return. Placing the unit level is very important if the humidifier is located on carpeting.

Moist air (humidity) produced will disperse into the whole house, but 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 is not acceptable, the unit should be repositioned in another location.

NOTE: Due to release of cool, moist air from humidifier, it is best to direct air away from home thermostat and hot air registers. It is best to position humidifier

Water Fill

WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock, always unplug humidifier before cleaning or servicing.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or shock hazard, do not pour or spill water into control or motor area. If controls get wet, let them dry completely and have unit checked by an authorized service personnel before plugging in.

Water

Bottle next to an inside wall. Hot air registers and cold air from outside walls can affect the efficiencies of the controls. Unit should not be placed where warm air from a hot air register blows directly on unit.

2. The humidifier should be positioned with the back (cord exit side), at least 2 inches away from the wall. Air needs to enter through louvers in the rear panel in order for the humidifier to operate at peak efficiency.

At Least 2" From Wall

Bottle Cover

This humidifier is designed for use with the water bottle located under the bottle cover to the left of the fan assembly. The unit should be positioned where it will be operating.

5

Water Fill (continued)

To fill this humidifier, close the control cover and remove the bottle cover. To remove the water bottle, lift the bottle straight up and out of the cabinet.

The water bottle is designed with an “E-Z-

Fill Side-Cap”. Remove the “E-Z-Fill Side-

Cap” on the side of the water bottle by twisting counterclockwise.

Place the opening of the water bottle under a water faucet (the bottle should fit under a four-inch clearance faucet). Fill the water bottle. Use only clear cold water. Solid debris could make the valve leak.

Install the fill cap by twisting clockwise.

Hand tighten only.

Check for possible leaks by performing the following:

1. Grasp bottle handle and hold the bottle upright over sink.

2. Press up on valve cap plunger for about one second to let out a little water.

3. Release the plunger.

4. Listen for air bubbles. Look for leaks around fill cap.

5. If you hear air bubbles or see leaks, retighten cap and check for leaks again.

NOTE: If either the fill cap or the valve cap leaks, water may overflow and leak out the rear vents of the cabinet.

Wipe off excess water from the bottle.

Position the water bottle back into the unit.

Grasp the water bottle handle, and lower into the cabinet. For proper operation, the

“E-Z-Fill Side-Cap” must be facing the center of the cabinet. When positioned properly, the plunger will open and water will flow into the cabinet. The water level will automatically remain at approximately 1" until the bottle is empty. The unit is now ready for operation.

Operating Humidifier Controls

The operating controls of your Emerson evaporative humidifier are located on the top right of the humidifier. The controls are found under the smoked cover

Lift the control cover by placing your finger in the round cutout and lifting. The cover will stay open. Now you can clearly see the control area. Familiarize yourself with the controls and their functions as described below.

Humidity Control:

Adjust the amount of humidity depending on your needs. The humidifier will turn on and off as required to maintain level of humidity selected. A medium setting (midway between and ) is recommended, but there are times when a low or high amount of humidity may be preferred. For constant operation of humidifier, rotating knob all the way clockwise allows for the maximum amount of humidity to be evaporated into the air continuously.

IMPORTANT: Water damage may result if condensation starts to form on windows or walls. Humidity Control setting should be lowered until condensation no longer forms.

Fill Light

When the unit has a small amount of water left in it, the fill light will come on and the unit will automatically shut off.

Air Flow (Speed) Control

The unit is adjusted from OFF “ ” to high

“ ” with a three speed rotary control.

The higher the air flow speed, the more water is evaporated and released into the air. Low speed " " is the quietest and is provided for conditions that may not require as high an evaporation rate.

7

Using Your Humidifier

1. Be sure unit is full of water and plugged in.

2. Set air flow control to desired fan speed.

3. Set Humidity Control to medium position (halfway between and ) )

NOTE: Humidifier should operate with humidity control on the recommended medium setting (midway between and

). If it does not, the humidity is at a relatively high level. To test the unit under this condition, turn Humidity Control all the way to clockwise and unit should begin to operate. After the unit has been tested, set

Humidity Control to medium or desired level.

Allow 24 hours for humidifier to adjust.

If humidity level in home is sufficient, the humidifier will only operate with Humidity control set on or near position.

4. If humidifier stops running and the Fill

Light is not illuminated, the humidity level is at the normal requirements for that setting or it is adjusting to the home conditions.
