The operating principie of the humidi_er is based on the most efficient

and economicel means of evaporating water to the air The humidiher

uses onty 2.5 watts of e|ectd_| power during operationi le_ than the

smat_est household light bulb The heat necessa_ for evaporating water

is produced by the furnace.

The water suppIy to the humidifier is controlled by the electdc solenoid

valve_ The humidistat _nnected in series with the so|enoid provides _w

AS DESCR|BED 1NTHE HUMfD_STAT OWNERS MANUAL

Water flows through a strainer, is metered through an orifice to provide

the proper amount of water, and is supplied to the evaporator pad by the

distributo_ trough. Approximately 200 CFM of air is by=pass_ from the

warm air plenum through the hum_d_her and returned to the cold air

p_enum Moisture is evaporated to the air passing through the evaporator

pad

Minerals are not bi_n into the air stream aS occurs in atomizJng

hum3d_ers; they are _efton the evaporator pad where a high _rcentage

is cerri_ off w_h the waste water,:

When the humidifier _s instal|ed and operating, no adjustments are

necessa_ other than setting the centre| knob on the humidistat to the

desired level of humidification. Leave knob on the humidifier in "Hi" or

"W|NTER" position

To turn the humidifier off, dose water suppty va|ve, switch el_dca!
