INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your new humidier.
The Honeywell Steam humidication system provides the high performance and efciency of steam, with easier
maintenance than traditional humidiers.
We are sure the Steam Humidier will be a welcome addition to your home.
• How is the Steam Humidier different from other humidiers?
- The steam goes directly into your hot air supply duct, rather than evaporating from a wet pad, which wastes
less water than ow-through humidiers.
- The Steam Humidier delivers humidication with the use of your HVAC fan rather than using heat from of
your furnace. This allows you to achieve ideal humidity levels in your home, year-round.
- The Steam Humidier operates automatically, just like a thermostat, to keep your home’s humidity at the
desired level.
- The Steam Humidier is easy to maintain. Just clean the tank as instructed. The tank is easily accessible and
does not require tools to remove it.
• What safety features does the Steam Humidier have?
- An interlock switch located inside the water tank shuts off 120 VAC power to the Steam Humidier when the
tank is removed.
- Three sets of sensors constantly monitor water level in the tank. The sensors prevent the tank from being
over-lled and from running dry.
• How should I get started? Your Steam Humidier must be installed by an HVAC Professional Installer. If the
Steam Humidier has just been installed, it should either be running and humidifying your home, or waiting for
a humidity call from the humidity control provided.
Once the Steam Humidier is up and running, all you have to do is use the humidity control to change the
humidity to your desired comfort.
Welcome!
Please read this manual completely for tips on getting the most out of your Steam Humidier.
Read your humidity control manual and make sure you know how to operate your system.
If you have questions, now or later, please ask your Installer or call Honeywell Customer Care
at 1-800-468-1502.
Steam Humidication System 69-2286EF—07 3

INTRODUCTION
1. The Steam Humidier is controlled by the provided
humidity control or by your home’s thermostat
if humidity control is a feature and it is wired
appropriately. The humidity control is connected
to the Steam Humidier, either with wires or by
wireless connection.
2. The heating element coil heats water in the tank to
the boiling point.
3. The resulting steam ows out of the Steam
Humidier into the hot air supply duct of your HVAC
system. If remote mounting is used, the steam
ows through an insulated steam hose from the
Steam Humidier to your supply duct.
4. Air ow from your furnace fan carries the moisture
throughout your home. Your furnace may or
may not be heating the air, depending on your
thermostat setting and the Steam Humidier
conguration.
5. When humidity in your home reaches the setpoint,
the humidity call ends and the Steam Humidier
stops producing steam. The furnace fan will
continue to run until humidity in the duct is
completely distributed to your home.
6. Sensors monitor water level in the tank. The built-in
solenoid valve opens and closes to automatically
rell the tank, as needed. During long periods of
inactivity, the tank will drain completely to prevent
water stagnating. The tank will automatically rell
when there is demand for humidity.

YOUR NEW
STEAM HUMIDIFIER
The Steam Humidier is available in two sizes, each with a different humidifying capacity:
The proper model for your home depends on many factors. Size of the area to be humidied, ceiling height,
window and insulation type, as well as your geographic area, all affect how much humidity your
home needs.
Some activities in your home may create heavier loads for the Steam Humidier. Vented replaces, high exhaust
from fans, or driers can reduce humidity in your home and make the Steam Humidier work harder.
Your Professional Installer or salesperson will have considered these and other factors when choosing the best
Steam Humidier model for your unique situation.

Which humidity control do I have?

YOUR NEW
STEAM HUMIDIFIER
Your HVAC Professional Installer will install the Steam Humidier in a proper location in your home. The best
location depends on your furnace type and conguration, and how your living space is arranged around the
furnace ducts. Your Steam Humidier will be either duct mounted or remote mounted.
Duct mounting. The Steam Humidier is installed
directly onto the supply (hot) air duct of your furnace.
The steam nozzle sends steam directly from the
Steam Humidier into the duct for distribution through
your home.
Remote mounting. The Steam Humidier is installed
some distance away from your furnace supply duct.
An insulated hose carries steam from the Steam
Humidier to a suitable location on the supply duct.
Remote mounting is usually done when a suitable
mounting location can not be found on your
furnace duct.

YOUR NEW
STEAM HUMIDIFIER
MCR35269
Your Steam Humidier installation includes the following parts and components that you should be familiar with:
A. Cold Water Connection with Shutoff Valve
Provides the connection from the Steam Humidier
to your home’s cold water pipe. Your Professional
Installer may have used the saddle valve that came
with the Steam Humidier, or may have chosen a
different type of connection. This connection must
include a shutoff valve for you to turn off water ow
to the Steam Humidier, if necessary.
IMPORTANT: the Steam Humidier requires cold
water. Do not connect a hot water supply to the
Steam Humidier.
B. Water Supply Line
This 1/4-inch line brings cold water to the Steam
Humidier from a water pipe in your home. Your
Professional Installer may have used the plastic
line provided or a copper pipe, as appropriate.
C. In-line Water Filter
It is likely the installer provided a water lter on the
water supply line leading to the Steam Humidier.
This helps minimize mineral deposits forming in the
Steam Humidier’s tank. For optimal performance,
replace this water lter once each humidication
season. See “How do I change the water lter?”
on page 19.
D. Shutoff Valve and Backow Preventer
This valve was provided by Honeywell and is
required by code. It prevents water from owing
backward in the water supply line.
E. Power Cord
The Steam Humidier is plugged into a 120 volt
AC household electrical outlet. The power cord
provided is 6 feet long.

YOUR NEW
STEAM HUMIDIFIER
F. Water Drain Line
This 1/2-inch hose drains water from the Steam
Humidier to a drain in your home. The tank is
drained automatically when the Steam Humidier
performs an automatic ush cycle, and at the end
of the humidication season. You may also drain the
tank manually in order to clean the tank or perform
additional maintenance.
G. Safety Release Button
This button prevents the tank release lever from
accidentally moving forward and releasing the water
tank. Press and hold the button down to move the
lever forward.
H. Ventilation Holes
These holes provide airow for the electronic
components inside the Steam Humidier cover.
Normal maintenance includes keeping these holes
clean.
I. Steam Humidier Cover
The Steam Humidier wiring connections and
electronic components are located behind the cover.
There are no homeowner-serviceable parts here,
and the cover should only be removed by a qualied
HVAC Service Technician.
J. Tank Release Lever
This lever locks the water tank in place on the
Steam Humidier. Press the safety release button,
then pull the lever forward to release the water tank
when removing for cleaning or service.
IMPORTANT: Only remove the tank after it is
completely empty. See “How do I clean the tank?”
on page 16.
K. Light Display
The six lights are on or blinking to indicate the
Steam Humidier’s operational status and when
service is required. See “What do the lights tell me?”
on page 13.
L. Steam Humidier Buttons
The two buttons are the only controls located on
the Steam Humidier. They are seldom used by the
homeowner. (Remember, day-to-day operation is
done using your humidity control.) Use the Drain
button to manually drain the water tank. Use the Go
button to reset the Steam Humidier when restarting
the system. See “When will I press the Drain and Go
buttons?” on page 14.
M. Water Tank
The tank holds the water that the Steam Humidier
heats and converts to steam. The tank can be
removed for cleaning.
N. Manual Shutoff Valve
Turn this valve by hand to either of two positions:
Lock: The valve will be locked during operation. This
turns the water supply on and locks the solenoid
valve in place. (The Steam Humidier uses the
solenoid valve to control water ow into the tank.)
Unlock: Turning the valve to “Unlock” seals the
bottom of the tank and the water supply to avoid
leaks when performing manual cleaning of the tank.
It also disengages the solenoid valve so that you
can push the solenoid back in its base to release
the tank. Once this is done, you can pull the tank
release lever forward to remove the tank
for cleaning. See “How do I clean the tank?” on page
16.
Steam Humidication System 69-2286EF—07 9

YOUR NEW
STEAM HUMIDIFIER
Honeywell wants to make sure you know what to expect from your new Steam Humidier installation. Make sure
you discuss these items with your Professional Installer:
• Achieving Humidity Setpoint. It may take up to a week of continuous operation to initially achieve the
humidity setpoint. This depends on factors such as weather, size of home, furnishings in the home, and
insulation. Once this is achieved, the Steam Humidier will not have to run as often.
• Plastic or Rubber Odor. When the humidier starts up after the initial installation, it is normal to smell a slight
plastic odor in the home. If the remote hose is used, there may be a slight rubber odor. These odors will go
away within a few days.
• Ideal Humidity. 35% relative humidity in typical winter weather is considered ideal for indoor comfort by
industry experts. You can adjust to your own comfort or until there is condensation on the windows. Lower the
setpoint if condensation appears.
• Unit Not Humidifying. If the Steam Humidier is not running but the humidity is below the desired setting, the
humidity control may be set to a frost protection setting. Also, note that the Steam Humidier will not humidify
while in an automatic ush cycle. See “What is a Frost Protection Setting?” on page 12.
• Setpoint Not Reached. If humidity doesn’t reach the setpoint, the Steam Humidier may be under-sized for
the home. This can be due to insulation, windows, arid climate, and other environmental factors. Also, the
outdoor temperature may be too low to maintain the humidity level. If the desired humidity is still not reached, a
larger capacity Steam Humidier or multiple units may be needed.
• Home Ventilation. Excessive ventilation exhausts humidied air and replaces it with dry air. This can make it
hard to maintain the humidity setpoint. If you are installing a ventilator, use a solution that retains moisture. An
Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) is recommended.
• Cleaning Required Light. If the Cleaning Required light is on, clean the Steam Humidier using the steps
found in “How do I clean the tank?” on page 16. The Steam Humidier will continue to run normally while the
Cleaning Required light is on.
• Hard Water. Your home’s water hardness determines how often the Steam Humidier must be cleaned and
how often the water lter needs to be replaced.
• Energy Consumption. You may notice a slight increase in overall energy consumption when operating
any humidier. However, the Steam Humidier will make the home feel warmer. This allows you to lower the
temperature setting on the thermostat. Every degree lower on the thermostat can save up to 3% on heating
costs.
What should I expect from my Steam Humidier?
Steam Humidication System 69-2286EF—07

EVERYDAY
OPERATION
Once the Steam Humidier is installed and running, operation is automatic. Use the humidity control provided to
make any changes to the setpoint, or to turn the Steam Humidier on or off.
Your Professional Installer congured the Steam Humidier so that it only creates steam when conditions in your
HVAC system are right. Also, steam will only be produced when your system fan is blowing air through the duct.
Be sure to read the manual that came with your humidity control. Ask your Professional Installer if you have
questions about how to operate the Steam Humidier.
• How do I use the humidity control? Whenever humidity in the home is lower than the humidity control’s
setpoint, the control will call for humidity. Some controls will also monitor outdoor conditions to ensure indoor
humidity does not condense on windows and walls. Refer to the manual provided with your humidity control for
instructions on setting the control. There are two different types of humidity control:
How do I operate the Steam Humidier?
Steam Humidication System 69-2286EF—07 11
Thermostat with integrated humidity
control (such as VisionPRO IAQ or
RedLINK Prestige).
This arrangement allows you to control your
furnace, central air conditioning, and Steam
Humidier, all with one device.
Humidity control separate from the thermostat
(such as the HumidiPRO or TrueIAQ) .
With this arrangement, you will use your current
thermostat to control your furnace and central
air conditioning. Use the separate humidity
control to control your Steam Humidier.

EVERYDAY
OPERATION
• What should my humidity setpoint be? The outdoor air temperature affects how much humidity can be
retained by the air in your home. Use this table as a starting point. Then adjust the humidity control to your own
comfort or until condensation appears on the windows.
• What is a Frost Protection Setting? Some humidity controls (such as Prestige, VisionPRO IAQ, and
HumidiPRO) contain a Window Frost Protection feature which limits humidity output based on outdoor
conditions. For example, on colder days, the air in your home can hold less humidity. The humidity control
automatically lowers the humidity setpoint accordingly, to prevent frost from appearing on the inside of your
windows.
Lower the frost setting by one value each morning that you see frost or condensation on windows. Allow 24
hours for the new setting to take effect before re-adjusting. Once you have this set to a comfortable level
without condensation, you will not need to adjust further. You can adjust your humidity setpoint without
worrying about condensation.
Manual humidity controls do not have built-in frost settings. They require you to adjust the humidity setpoint
when the outdoor temperature changes. Use higher humidity setpoints when the temperature is warmer, and
lower setpoints when the temperature is cooler.
Outdoor Recommended Relative
Temperature Humidity Setting
-20°F (-29°C) 15%

The two buttons are used when starting the Steam Humidier and to manually drain the tank.
Drain Button: Press and hold to drain water from the
Steam Humidier tank. See “How do I clean the tank?”
on page 16.
When the Draining light is blinking, the Steam
Humidier is actively ushing water during a manual
drain.
Go Button: Press to start or restart the Steam
Humidier when the Humidifying LED is blinking.
Pressing and holding Go also clears the blinking
Service light and stops water draining from the tank.
Drain and Go Button: Pressing and holding both the
Drain and Go buttons in at the same time will interrupt
the water cooling cycle and immediately drain
the tank.
IMPORTANT: Pressing and holding the Drain and Go
buttons together—when the Draining light is already
on—causes the Steam Humidier to empty the tank,
regardless of water temperature. Make sure the drain
outlet can handle up to 212ºF (100ºC), or wait at least
45 minutes to allow the water to cool before using
this feature.
CAUTION: Scalding Hazard.
Initial temperature of the drain water may be above 140°F (60°C) and can cause scalding injury.
Make sure the drain outlet is not exposed, and use caution when pressing the Drain button.

MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Scalding Hazard.
Initial temperature of the drain water may be above 140°F (60°C) and can cause scalding injury.
Make sure the drain outlet is not exposed, and use caution when pressing the Drain button.
The Steam Humidier automatically ushes out the
water tank periodically during the humidifying season.
In the automatic ush cycle, cold water enters the
tank while water is being emptied through the drain
line. The action of simultaneous lling and draining
cools the water to a safe draining temperature. It also
dilutes water hardness concentration to reduce mineral
deposits from forming in the tank.
At the end of the automatic ush cycle, the Steam
Humidier rells the tank with fresh water, and
automatically returns to normal operation.
Automatic ush is performed regularly, based on the number of hours that the Steam Humidier heats water and
produces steam. Automatic ush can be set to occur at any of the following intervals:
Your Professional Installer set the Steam Humidier to ush at the appropriate interval for your installation. During
any service call, the automatic ush interval can be changed, if desired.
What is the automatic ush cycle?
Autoush Intervals
8 hours
12 hours (factory setting)
20 hours
30 hours (when a RO lter is installed)
M29669
Steam Humidication System 69-2286EF—07 15

CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Manual cleaning is needed at least once each season to clean out the mineral deposits that remain in the tank
after automatic ushing. Manual cleaning is easy – just empty and remove the water tank and clean the interior
components. Then re-assemble and start the Steam Humidier up again.
• When should I clean the tank? The Steam Humidier should be manually cleaned at least once every 5
months. (Hard water may require more frequent cleaning.) The Cleaning Required light turns on when the tank
needs manual cleaning. The Steam Humidier will still operate normally when the Cleaning Required light is
on. The light will turn off when you have cleaned the tank and re-started the Steam Humidier.
Note: The Cleaning Required LED turns on when the tank drains too slowly during a manual ush cycle, or after 1800 hours of operation (about 6 months).
(This is probably due to tank sediment.) The Steam Humidier will still operate as normal. If during the next manual ush cycle, the tank drains normally, the
Cleaning Required light will stop blinking.
• How do I clean the tank? Follow these steps to manually clean the Steam Humidier:
To initiate a ush cycle and empty the water tank,
press the Drain button and hold until the Draining LED
begins blinking.
Wait for the Empty light to turn on. (It takes about 45
minutes for the tank to drain.) This indicates that the
water has nished draining.
IMPORTANT: You can stop a manual ush once the
cycle has started by pressing and holding the Drain
button while the Draining light is already blinking. The
tank will rell and the Steam Humidier will return to
normal operation in about 5 minutes.
Turn the manual shutoff valve at the tank bottom to the
“Unlock” position.
Grip the white water valve arm and push it back to
disconnect it from the tank.

CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
How do I reassemble and start up the Steam Humidier? Follow these steps to reassemble the tank and start
up the Steam Humidier after cleaning:
Attach tank by raising the latch past the safety release
button.
Pull the white water valve forward to connect to the
the black spool. Then turn the manual shutoff valve to
the “Lock” position. If the handle turns hard, recheck
alignment.
Plug in the power cord.
The Power light will be on at start-up. If the humidity
control is also actively calling for humidity, the
Humidifying light will blink. This indicates that the
Steam Humidier is waiting to act on the call to allow
time for the tank to complete lling.
Press the Go button to make the Steam Humidier
ready for use. You must actively call for humidity
from the humidity control for the Steam Humidier to
produce steam.
Note: You don’t have to press the Go button after plugging in the power cord.
The Steam Humidier will wait for 5 minutes and then automatically restart
itself.
