3. Even though your Humidifier will produce approximately 3 gal-
lons in a 24 hour period*, the water capacity (amount of water
the Humidifier will hold at one time) is 1.75 gallons.
4. You may fill your Recirculating Evaporative Humidifier two
different ways:
A) Fill the Base with cool water to level indicated
in Figure 2A .
B) Replace the Upper Housing on the Base and push Water
Lens down to pour water into the Humidifier (Figure 2B)
until it reaches the level indicated in Figure 2A .
Figure 2A Figure 2B
Water Lens
Maximum Water Level
Do not overfill and never use hot water.
CAUTION: Do not pour water through the Ex-
haust Grill on the Upper Housing. Doing so
may cause damage and personal injury.
Do not overfill. Overfilling the Unit may
cause motor damage.
Always carry filled Humidifier carefully.
Never move water filled Humidifier while
plugged in.
5. Take extra care to prevent water spillage that may damage furni-
ture or flooring. The manufacturer will not accept responsibil-
ity for damage to property caused by water spillage.
6. Always be sure that the Power Control Knob is in the OFF (0)
position when plugging Humidifier into a grounded 120 volt
AC wall outlet.
CAUTION: Do not plug Humidifier into electrical outlet with wet hands,
or electrical shock may occur.
7. Set Moisture Control Knob to regulate desired amount of
humidity. (Figure 3)
Figure 3
HIGH (3): For fast humidification of a large
room. This setting will provide approxi-
mately 3 gallons of moisture output in
a 24 hour period.*
MED (2):For normal operation.
LOW (1):For quiet, night time operation.
* Calculations based on ambient conditions of 70° F and 30% relative
humidity in a room of average insulation.
8. Water usage will vary depending upon initial humidity level in the
room. If humidity is low, the Unit will use water more rapidly until the
humidity in the room is stabilized. If the humidity is already near or
above 50% relative humidity, water consumption will be low.
CAUTION: Be careful not to direct airflow towards walls or furniture,
as excessive moisture may cause damage.
9. Refill Humidifier when water level in the Base is low.
10. If you do not plan to use your Humidifier for several days, empty
all water from the Unit. Standing water may provide an environ-
ment for the growth of algae.

CLEANING and FILTER CARE
1. Regular cleaning is necessary to ensure proper and efficient
operation. The frequency of cleaning depends on the amount
of impurities which may be found in the water or how often the
Humidifier is in operation. In either instance, it is recommended
that the Humidifier be cleaned at least once a week.
CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, always turn Control Knob
to OFF (0) position and unplug before cleaning.
2. Remove Upper Housing from Base. Be careful not to let ex-
cess water from pump spill onto furniture or flooring.

3. With water lens pushed
down, the filter may be re-
moved for cleaning or re-
placing. (Figure 4)
4. Remove Evaporative Pad Holder from Base and inspect Small
Water Drip Holes for any blockage. (Figure 5)
It is important that these Drip Holes remain open at all times
for proper water supply to Evaporative Pad.

5. To increase the life of your Evaporative Pad, unsnap Holder,
remove Pad and flip over. (Figure 6)
Evaporative Pad life may be extended by cleaning the Pad in
a vinegar solution. To clean Pad, mix one part undiluted vin-
egar with four parts warm tap water. Soak the Pad in this
solution for 20 minutes, rinse Pad thoroughly with warm wa-
ter to remove vinegar odor.
DO NOT FLATTEN, SQUEEZE OR TWIST FILTER WHEN CLEANING.
6. Discoloration of the Evaporative Pad is normal after extended
use. The discoloration is caused by mineral deposits in the wa-
ter, and the degree of discoloration will vary depending upon
the amount of mineral content in the water. When the Pad sur-
face area is thoroughly discolored, or you notice reduced wa-
ter usage, it is a good indicator that the Evaporative Pad needs
to be replaced. The Evaporative Pad should be replaced at
least once every season.
The Replacement Pad to be used in this unit is:

Model 9932 (Available Separately)
7. TO DESCALE BASE AND DRIP SHIELD: Mix one part undi-
luted white vinegar with four parts warm tap water. Let vinegar
solution stand for 20 minutes then wipe away any scale buildup
using a soft brush or cloth. Do not use soap or detergents
and never use an abrasive cleaner.
8. TO DISINFECT BASE AND DRIP SHIELD: Fill with 1 teaspoon
of chlorine bleach and 1 gallon of water. Let solution stand for 20
minutes. Carefully empty Jug and rinse well with water until bleach
smell is gone.

9. Use a dry soft cloth to wipe the Chassis area, which includes
the motor area. DO NOT use water to clean the Motor or
Switch area. Doing so may result in electrical shock or dam-
age to the Humidifier.
10. Commercial "Descalers" and "Bacteriostats" are available at your
local home improvement center.
11. Do not operate Humidifier when there is still cleaner in the water.
