OPERATING YOUR HUMIDIFIER
Your Honeywell humidifier is controlled by a humidistat that is installed either on an interior
wall in the living area or on the cold air return. Choose the humidistat setting from the table
below and adjust the humidistat to the recommended setting.
At Outside
Temperature Recommended Setting At Outside Temperature Recommended Setting
-20°F 15 +10°F 30
-10°F 20 +20°F 35
0°F 25 Above 20° 40
NOTE: When you review the table, the settings may appear to be incorrect. As the outside
temperature drops, the recommended setting is lowered to accommodate for
effects of dew point. These settings should reduce the accumulation of moisture
and ice on your windows and in other areas of your home.
Refer to the following table if your humidistat uses words instead of numbers for the setting.
At Outside Temperatures Recommended Setting
-20°F Low
0°F Low-Medium
+10°F Medium
+20° or above Medium-High
Some indoor activities such as cooking,
showering and clothes drying can cause
excessive levels of humidity and start the
accumulation of moisture on your windows.
NOTE: If this condition persists for more
than a few hours, set the humidis-
tat to the lowest setting to turn off
the humidifier. If the condition does
not improve, the home should be
ventilated to remove the moisture.
HOW YOUR
HUMIDIFIER WORKS
Your Honeywell humidifier uses the principle
that vapor (evaporated water) is created
when warm air blows over a water soaked
area. As the vapor circulates, the relative
humidity rises.
Your humidistat monitors the relative
humidity and activates the humidifier
accordingly. The humidifier has a water
supply that dispenses water evenly over a
humidifier pad. The warm dry air, from the
furnace, passes over the humidifier pad and
picks up the moist air to circulate it through
your home.
Humidified air feels warmer and more
comfortable so you may be able to lower your
thermostat heating setpoint which saves
money on your heating fuel bills. The end
result, your humidifier gives you a comfort-
able home that is also energy efficient.

MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
A regular maintenance program prolongs the
life of your humidifier and provides a more
comfortable home. Frequency of cleaning will
depend on the condition of your water.
The humidifier can use hard or soft water.
Hard water will leave mineral deposits that
are more difficult to clean, but the frequency
of cleanings will be less than with soft water.
Soft water deposits are easier to remove,
but the humidifier needs to be cleaned more
often when using soft water.
Use the following steps to clean your
Honeywell humidifier:
WARNING
Serious Personal Injury Hazard.
Can cause electrical shock and
injury from moving parts.
Disconnect power and shut off water
supply before removing cover.

humidifier water supply.
2. Remove the humidifier cover by
unplugging the connector and
loosening thumb screw. Grasp the
cover near the bottom and pull toward
you.
3. Remove the humidifier pad assembly
from the humidifier by grasping the
top of the tray and pulling it towards
you.
4. Lift the tray off the pad.
5. Gently pinch the water nozzle catches

humidistat when you return.
CHECKING THE HUMIDIFIER
FOR PROPER OPERATION
After winter startup or servicing, use the
following steps to check the humidifier operation.
1. Turn on the humidifier power and
water supply.
2. Turn the humidistat to its highest
setting and set the thermostat to 10°F
above the room temperature.
3. Observe that water is flowing out of
the drain hose.
NOTE: The furnace blower must be running
to activate the humidifier.
4. Reset the thermostat and humidistat
to a comfortable setting for
automatic operation.
Problem What To Look For What To Do
Low humidity Furnace blower not
operating
•Reset circuit breaker or check for blown fuse.
•Check that the furnace power is on.
•Check all external wiring connections.
•Check the humidistat setting.
•Call a professional heating contractor.
Rapid air changes
(Drafts: cold air is dry
and is an added load
to the humidifier.)
•Keep doors and windows closed.
•Close fireplace damper when not in use.
•Keep exhaust fan running time to a minimum.
•Seal around doors and windows.
High humidity Condensation on
walls
•Turn humidistat and water off until
condensation is completely evaporated.
Heavy condensation
on windows
•Turn humidistat down enough to eliminate
condensation. This can be a temporary
condition caused by moisture from bathing,
mopping, cooking, etc. If moisture persists,
more ventilation is needed.
