How Your Humidifier Works
Your new evaporative humidifier is designect to satis_home humidity requirements
through the principle of evaporation of water into the air.
Once the.wick becomes saturated, air is drawn in, passes through the wick and
moisture is absorbed into the air. :AEevaporation occurs in the humidifier so any
residue remains in the wick. This natural process of evaporation creates no white
dust like some other humidifiers•
Dry air is drawn into the humidifier though the back and moisturized as it passes
through the evaporative wick. It is then fanned out into the room•

1) Unpack humidifier from carton and'remove all packaging material from the bOx_
NOTE: This unit I_as a natural stone (marble) tile inset. Take care when-
removing the marble tile from the package, as it is breakable and heavy:
2) Lift up the Chassis (upper cabinet) to locate the casters and manual•
3) Place humidifier on a flat levee surface. Position the humidifier where the most
humidity is needed or where the most air will be circulated throughout the house
such as near a cold air return. If the unit is positioned close to a window,
condensation may form on the window
pane. If this occurs 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 fro m thermostat and hot air
registers, and to position humidifier .next
to an !nside. wail. Unit should not be
placed where cold air from outside wails
or warm air from a hot air register blows
directly on it.
3) Place the humidifier at least 2 inches
from the wall.

minutes, since the wick is atready saturated.
After the filling process is complete, and the
wick is saturated, the unit is ready for use.
