level surface. Float will
not sense water at the
front of the cabinet.
• Normal.
Remedy
• Check 120 volt power source.
• Press power button once to turn
on.
• Raise SET humidity level if
desired.
• Increase fan speed.
• Fill humidifier with water.
• Free float from obstruction.
• A SET humidity percentage of
65% operates fan continuously.
Adjust SET level between
25% - 60%.
• Continue to run until desired
humidity level is achieved. This
may take up to 48 hours initially.
• Change to a fresh new filter.
NOTE: Local water purity
varies from area to area.
• Check orientation of bottles.
Reposition so that bottle cap
plunger (stem) is depressed by
post in bottom of cabinet.
• Change to fresh new filters (32-

• Check "E-Z-Fill Side-Caps" and
valve assembly caps to ensure
tightness.
• Check for leak in water bottle.
• Ensure gaskets for "E-Z-Fill
Side-Caps" are in place.
• The humidifier is designed so
that right bottle empties first.
• Position unit level. Some carpet
padding may allow unit to sit
lower in the front than rear with
the additional weight of water
bottles in the front of the
cabinet. Install caster pads
under front casters; see page 5.
