Operating Tips and Recommendations

For best results:
1. Allow for optimum airflow by keeping the grill unobstructed.
Ensure curtains and other items are far enough away from the
unit to not be pulled into the side inlets or interfere with airflow.
2. Do not turn the unit off and on - allow your Humidifier to
operate continuously. This will help maintain the desired
humidity level in your home, cost only pennies a day, and will
not damage the unit.
It is normal and expected for your Humidifier to run continuously
for a few days in order to raise the moisture content of the air
to the desired level upon initial use or if the air is extremely dry.
When your home and its furnishings have absorbed sufficient
moisture and become stabilized at the desired humidity level, the
amount of water used will decrease.
If you operate your Humidifier continuously, it may need to be
refilled with water every day. Simply look through the Water Tank
to be certain that there is adequate water supply for operation.
When the water level drops below the operating level, the unit will
not be producing humidity.
Protect the Water Tank from damage. Any cracks or damage to the
Tank may cause it to leak water onto the floor or other surfaces.
If the Humidifier is turned Off, with water in the unit, and not
turned back on for 8 hours or longer, or if the unit is not cleaned
as recommended, you may experience some growth of algae
or bacteria. These microorganisms may become airborne.
Thoroughly clean the unit to eliminate any microorganisms (See
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE for instructions).
Your Evaporative Vortex Humidifier is effective at supplying
necessary moisture to dry air. It should be used with proper care
to prevent over-humidification. To know if the humidity level is too

high, gauge the condensation or frost on windows. Adjust your
Humidifier to a point where this condition is at a minimum.
