CONTRACTORS: IMPORTANT INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Failuretocomplywillresultinvoidedwarranty,improperinstallation,andservicecallbacks.
• Donotdirectthesteamnozzleatpeople.
• Waterinsidetankcanbeveryhot.ExplainthistohomeownerandemphasizethewarninglabelonTrueSTEAM.
• Donotcutintoanyairconditioningorelectricalline
• WearsafetyglasseswhileinstallingTrueSTEAM.
• Mountthehumidifierinalevelpositiontoavoidwaterdamageorheatingelementfailure.
• InstallTrueSTEAMonthesupplyduct.RemotelymountTrueSTEAMtothesupplyductifdirectmountisnot
possible.
• Donotinstallthesteamnozzleintosupplyductwithstaticpressureexceeding0.5in.w.c.
• IfremotelymountingTrueSTEAM,refertotheremotemountguide(69-2317)forfurtherinstructions.
• Donotinstallthehumidifierwheretheambienttemperatureislowerthan32°F(0°C)orhigherthan104°F(40°C).
• Condensatepumpmustberatedat212°F(100°C).
• Consultlocalplumbingcodesfordrainsize,material,andmaximumtemperatureallowed.
• IfTrueSTEAMlocationisinorabovefinishedspace,installadrippanwithawetswitchunderTrueSTEAM,the
waterfilter,andbackflowpreventer.
• Donotinstallthehumidifiernozzlethroughwoodensidewalls(e.g.,floorjoist).
• Themountingareamustbestrongenoughtosupportthehumidifier’sweightwhenitisfullofwater(upto15
lbs.).
• Iftheductinghasexposedinsulatedmaterialsontheinterior,ensurethenozzleextendsbeyondtheinsulation
byclearingawayexcessinsulationattheinsertionpoint,orreplaceasectionofinsulatedduct(approximately6
in.x6in.)withrigid,non-insulatedsheetmetal.
• Allowatleast4inchesofclearancebetweentheTrueSTEAMnozzleoutletandanyinteriorducttoavoid
condensation forming.
• MountTrueSTEAMwherethenozzleoutlethasaminimumof24inchesofdownstreamopenairspace.
• Donotinstallincompletelyenclosedspaces,suchasacabinetorunventilatedcloset.Choosealocationthatis
well ventilated.
• Allowatleast1footclearancetoventilationholesinhumidifier’scover.Donotcovertheseholes.Coveringthem
can increase the internal operating temperature of the humidifier and shorten the humidifier’s life.
• Donotmountdirectlytoductboard.RemotemountnozzleattachmentallowedonlywithaHoneywellduct
board adapter kit.
• Ifusednearapoolorspa,ensuretheTrueSTEAMcannotfallintothewaterorbesplashed.Also,ensurethe
TrueSTEAM is plugged into a GFI ground fault interrupt outlet.
