  6. Remove top half of unit (lift straight up).
  7. Remove the water distribution pan cover (5) and clean "V" openings in water distribution section but do not scrape off granular coating from bottom. This helps to insure proper, even water flow for maximum performance. See page 2 if removed.

  10. IMPORTANT: When installing the Scale Control Insert and Water Panel evaporator in the humidifier, the Insert spout must discharge directly into unit drain.
  11. Reassemble unit, position feed tube in compression fitting, tighten compression nuts and secure copper feed tube to upper housing with feed tube clamp. Attach to furnace plenum.
  12. Turn on water supply, turn up humidistat and check unit operation.
