be careful not to pressurize them 
by over filling. Bottle damage 
can result from this. A fill hose is
provided with your humidifier 
which will fit most faucets. The 
faucet connector can be rolled 
back over itself to better fit 
small diameter or short faucets. 
Place water bottles into the 
humidifier with the valve cap 
end down and to the back of the 
humidifier so that the valve cap 
enters the water channel.
9)  We recommend using Bemis by 
Essick Air Bacteria treatment 
whenever you refill the water 
bottles to eliminate bacterial 
growth. 
Add bacteriostat 
according to the instructions on 
the bottle and then tighten the 
valve caps on your water bottles.
10) Place the top frame onto the 
cabinet. NOTE: The top frame 
has hinge pins along the back 
edge which engage into the 
hinge brackets along the top 
back of the cabinet. This feature
allows you to lift the top frame 
off vertically for easy cleaning, 
and also allows the top frame to
pivot up for easy access to the 
control panel and water bottles.
11) Plug cordset into interlock 
receptacle on back of unit.
12) Plug cordset into wall 
receptacle. Humidifier is 
now ready for use.
13) Open the top frame by lifting 
along the front edge. The 
variable speed fan control 
allows you to use a low setting 
for the most quiet operation or a
high setting for maximum output.
14) All models have an automatic 
humidistat. The humidistat will 
turn the humidifier on when the 
relative humidity in your home is
below the humidistat setting and
will turn the humidifier off when 
the relative humidity reaches the
humidistat setting. For initial 
operation set the humidistat in 
the "comfort zone" and adjust 
up or down from there to 
achieve the desired humidity  
level.
