CAUTION
!
Humidifier Operation
This humidifier provides the proper relative humidity (RH)
during the heating season. The humidifier is wired to
operate when the indoor blower motor is on during the
heating mode and the indoor RH is below the selected
comfort level. During a call for humidity, water flows into
the EquaFlot distribution tray, where it is distributed
evenly across the width of the pan. The humidifier pad is
saturated with water. Dry hot air moves through the pad
where evaporation takes place. The humidified air carries
moisture in vapor form throughout the home.
Risk of Equipment Damage. Do not use the saddle
valve to regulate water flow. The valve is designed
to be completely opened or closed.
CAUTION
!
