Read all instructions before using the appliance. To avoid fire or shock hazard, plug the appliance directly into a 120 V AC electrical outlet. Keep the cord out of heavy traffic areas. [. . . ] See figure 1 for installation location for each type of wheel. DO NOT use any tools to install the wheel because tools may damage the base of the unit. Return the base to the upright position. Choose a location out of reach of children. DO NOT place the humidifier on a finished floor or near furniture which can be damaged by moisture or water. FILLING THE WATER TANK 1. Remove the two tanks from the base of the humidifier and bring each tank to the faucet. Turn the tanks upside down and twist off the tank caps by turning counter-clockwise. Fill each tank with cool, fresh tap water. When full, carry each tank to the humidifier and place onto the base (use both hands when carrying each tank). Each tank holds 1. 6 gallons of water, and the base holds . 25 gallons of water. Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet. USING THE HUMIDISTAT The Humidistat feature allows you to set and maintain the humidity level you wish for your room to maintain. The Humidistat setting is designed to operate between 25% and 65% relative humidity range. Turn the Humidistat clockwise as far as it will turn to achieve the highest setting. In this setting, the humidifier will run constantly, and produce the greatest amount of moisture. To lower your desired humidity level, simply turn the Humidistat counterclockwise to choose your setting. When the humidity in the room is less than the level you have set, the humidifier will continue to produce moisture. Once the set humidity level has been achieved, the fan will turn off. When the room humidity drops below your set level, the unit will automatically begin producing moisture again. Depending on the size of your room and your personal comfort, you will set your humidistat at different levels. If condensation forms on your windows or walls, or your measured room humidity reads above 50% by use of a hygrometer, turn off your humidifier, or lower your Humidistat level. Figure 2 A.
