and plugged
in.
Step 2
Set the Speed
Control
to LOW (1).
Step 3
Set Humidity
Control
to a medium
position
(half way between
MIN and MAX.)
NOTE:
Humidifier
should
operate
with
humidity
control
on the recommended
medium
setting.
If it does
not, the humidi-
ty is at a relatively
high level.
To test the
unit under
this condition,
turn Humidity

should
begin to operate.
After the unit has
been
tested,
set Humidity

level.
Allow 24 hours
for humidifier
to adjust.
If humidity
level
in home
is sufficient,
the
humidifier
will only operate
with
Humidity
Control
set on maximum.
IMPORTANT:
Water
damage
may result
if
condensation
starts
to form on windows
or walls.
Humidity

setting
should
be lowered
until condensation
no longer
forms.
