User manual LASKO PH120

[. . . ] This means that the air being drawn through the moistened filter naturally evaporates the water and disperses INVISIBLE MOISTURE into the air. This type of humidifier DOES NOT PRODUCE MIST, WATER DROPLETS, STEAM OR EXCESSIVE CONDENSATION associated with other types of humidifiers. Air containing water droplets or mist can create a good habitat for the growth of mold and mildew. Misting units often oversaturate the air, while the Lasko Recirculating Evaporative Humidifier reaches a maximum humidity output level without oversaturating. [. . . ] When the humidity in your home is high, moisture output automatically decreases to help prevent damaging condensation. The Watershow Viewing Window provides a visible way for you to know that your Humidifier is operating. As air passes through the filter, the humidity in the room will increase, and the water level in the Unit will begin to decrease. Unlike misting humidifiers, the Evaporative Filter in your Recirculating Humidifier also traps unwanted minerals that reside in normal tap water. This filtering also assures there is NO WHITE DUST dispersed into the air. NOTE: A few droplets of water may be present in your humidifier as a result of our quality testing prior to packaging and shipment.
