Maintaining Your Humidifier - Honeywell HE220 Guía De Instalación/Manual Del Propietario

• Match the dial setting to the outdoor temperature to optimize the humidity level
while reducing the moisture condensation on your windows. See Table 2 to adjust
the humidity control to the recommended setting.
NOTE: As the outside temperature drops, a lower humidity setting is recom-
mended to accommodate dewpoint effects. These settings should
reduce the accumulation of moisture and ice on windows and other
areas of the home.
• Adjust the humidity control setting to adjust for indoor activities such as cooking,
showering and clothes drying, which can cause excessive levels of humidity that
can accumulate moisture on your windows.
NOTE: If these activities persist for more than a few hours, set the humidity
control to the lowest setting to turn off the humidifier. If the condition
does not improve, ventilate your home to remove the moisture.

MAINTAINING YOUR HUMIDIFIER

A regular maintenance program prolongs the life of your humidifier and makes your
home more comfortable. The frequency of cleaning depends on the condition of your
water.
You can use either hard or soft water in your humidifier, but hard water mineral
deposits are more difficult to clean than soft water deposits.
