User manual SKUTTLE 86

[. . . ] · When you need parts or service, first try calling the heating and air conditioning dealer who installed your humidifier. This information may be located on the back of this booklet, or the dealer may have placed a reference label on your heating system. · If you cannot locate your original installer, check the Yellow Pages under "Heating & Air Conditioning Contractors". · If these attempts at finding parts or service fail, call us toll-free at (800) 848-9786. [. . . ] Turn the humidistat to its highest setting and observe the humidifier evaporator pad. If it does not rotate, turn your furnace on by setting the thermostat higher until the furnace blower comes on. This should cause the humidifier evaporator pad to rotate. NOTE: Wiring the unit to operate independently of, or in conjunction with, the furnace blower is up to the discretion of the installer. On installations where the unit is closely sized (i. e. , the cubic footage of your home is at or near the humidifier's peak volume capacity), independent operation allows the unit to operate throughout the full blower cycle, thereby eliminating the lag time involved in starting the humidifier. IMPORTANT: Reset the thermostat and humidistat to their correct positions for automatic operation. How Water Hardness Effects Scheduled Maintenance Your humidifier will accumulate minerals, such as calcium and lime, after operating for a short period ­ a sure sign that the humidifier is producing humidity. The amount of accumulation depends on the hardness of the water in your area, which means that cleaning frequency will vary from region to region. You can recognize that cleaning is necessary when the pores in the evaporative pad begin to become plugged with mineral deposits. At a minimum, you humidifier will need to be cleaned at the beginning (or end) of every humidifying season (i. e. , the months when you heat your home). Depending on the hardness of your water, mid-season cleaning may also be necessary. In areas with particularly hard water, installation of a Skuttle Automatic Flushing Timer (see page 6) will increase the intervals between cleanings.

Filtration Your body's respiratory system is designed to filter out airborne particles that are three-to-five microns in diameter. Smaller particles can be inhaled, potentially causing serious health problems. The smallest contaminants (a single micron or less) are dispersed through HVAC ductwork and make up about 99 percent of the particles circulating through a typical home. [. . . ]
