on.
• Raise SET humidity level if
desired.
• Increase fan speed.

• Free float from obstruction.

humidity level is achieved. This
may take up to 48 hours initially.
• Change to a fresh new filter.

from area to area.

Reposition so that bottle cap
plunger (stem) is depressed by

valve assembly caps to ensure
tightness.

Caps" are in place.
• The humidifier is designed so that
right bottle empties first.

in the front of the cabinet. Install
caster pads under front casters
(see page 5).
• No action required.
