Using Your Humidfier (continued)
Check Filter Indicator Control Lock Out
The ability of any humidifier to
efficiently supply humidity output relies
heavily on the condition of the filter. As
the filter loads with impurities it
gradually loses its wicking capability.
When this happens, moisture output is
reduced and the humidifier has to work
longer to satisfy the selected setting.
This humidifier has a check filter
reminder timed to appear after 720
hours of motor operation. When the
display shows an alternating "CF" and
"room humidity" setting at 5 second
intervals it is a reminder to check the
filter condition.
NOTE = Some areas have high water
mineral content causing the need for
more frequent filter changes.
Refer to "Replacement and Care of
Filter" on page 11. If a build-up of
deposits or severe discoloration is
evident replace the filter to restore
maximum efficiency.
To avoid unwanted tampering with the
humidifier settings the controls can be
locked.
Activation Procedure
After the humidifier functions have been
set up, press and hold the power button
down for 5 seconds. The display will
show "CL" for 5 seconds; release the
power button and the control will
resume the display of the room
humidity. The humidifier will continue to
function with the locked in settings. If
buttons are operated while "CL" is
active, the "CL" is displayed and
settings are unaffected.
Deactivation Procedure
To deactivate the "CL" function simply
press and hold the power button for 5
seconds. "CL" will flash and then resume
the display of room humidity.

Humidistat
The humidistat located on the power
cord senses the percentage of humidity
in the air. It causes the humidifier to
cycle on and off to maintain the
selected humidity SET point. The fan will
turn on if the "ROOM" reading falls 3%
below the SET point and will continue to
run the humidifier until a reading of 1%
above the SET point is achieved. The fan
will turn off until the ROOM reading
falls 3% below the SET point again.
NOTE = Be sure humidistat, which is
located on the power cord, is free from
obstructions and is away from any hot
air source.
