Maintaining ideal humidity
Optimal Relative Humidity (RH) is defined by industry experts* as between 40-60% RH on an
average annual basis, and 35% during the heating season in dry climates. An environment with
too little humidity leaves the body vulnerable to viruses and bacteria, and can cause woodwork
in the house to shrink and crack. On the other hand, too much humidity creates ideal conditions
for mold and mildew growth.
Proper indoor humidity can also help you save money on energy bills. When maintained proper-
ly, your equipment won’t have to run as much because humidified air feels warmer in the winter.

TrueSTEAM function and operation
Your TrueSTEAM humidifier provides the highest capacity and most efficient steam humidifica-
tion for whole-house residential applications.
The patented Condensate
Collect Dome and beveled nozzle
keep water in the tank, delivering
only true steam into your duct’s
airflow.
Sediment screen
keeps the tank clean
for a longer period of
time, reducing main-
tenance and ensuring
optimum perfor-
mance.
Wiring to your HVAC equipment
allows TrueSTEAM to supply humidity
when you need it by turning on your
equipment automatically.
LED light feedback allows you to
monitor performance, giving you
total control and peace of mind.
True steam provides your home with high-
capacity true humidity, while using up to 70%
less water than flow-through humidifiers.
Snap-lock latch allows
for quick, easy main-
tenance.
Automatically fills with
water and drains when
needed, so you don’t have
to remember to do it.

With automatic controls like TrueIAQ and VisionPRO
IAQ, you need only calibrate this setting once. The
automatic feature will adjust by itself as outdoor condi-
tions change, based on your initial settings. After set-
ting your auto control to the desired RH% level, check
for condensation or frost forming on windows on the
first cold day. If present, adjust your frost settings on
the control (see control owner’s manual if needed).
The Window Frost Protection feature protects your
home by limiting humidity output based on outdoor
conditions (for example, on colder days, your home can hold less humidity).
Frost Settings should be lowered by one value each morning that you see frost or condensa-
tion on windows. Allow 24 hours for the adjustment to take affect. Once you have this set to a
comfortable level without condensation forming, you will not need to adjust this again. You can
adjust your humidity settings without worrying about condensation.
With Manual Humidity Controls—such as the H8908—you
will need to adjust your RH% settings each time the outdoor
conditions change (more humidity with warmer outdoor con-
ditions, lower humidity with colder conditions). These con-
trols provide accurate operation, but require more hands on
adjustment. These controls are a good choice for homeown-
ers who desire continuous interaction with humidity settings.
Setting the controls
The colder it is outside, the less humidity can be retained by the air. Initially setting your humidi-
stat to ideal comfort levels will help your TrueSTEAM deliver optimal humidification. The table
below provides suggested control settings based on outdoor conditions.

You may experience that your home needs
humidity levels to be slightly higher or lower
than the suggested levels given in the table, in
order to prevent window condensation or dry-
ness. This is because your home is unique in
size, shape, building tightness, and age. These
variables play an active role in how your indoor
humidity fluctuates. Use the table as a start-
ing point, but adjust according to your comfort
and observations of condensation.

About your new thermostatLED light indicators
The LED light panel on the TrueSTEAM lets you know that the humidifier is operating correctly,
when maintenance is needed, and when it is safe to remove the tank for cleaning. The push but-
tons allow the tank to be drained for cleaning, and quickly return to operation when the tank is
reattached to the humidifier.
Power indicates the TrueSTEAM is plugged in and that the humidifier is
ready for operation.
Humidifying indicates that steam is being delivered to the home.
Clean Tank: This LED blinks to indicate the TrueSTEAM is draining when
you press the EMPTY button. When the light is on solid (not blinking), the
tank is empty and safe to remove for cleaning.
Call Service is a fault indicator. Call your HVAC technician to service the
humidifier. HVAC technicians: Refer to page 12 for fault identification and
troubleshooting.
Press Reset will blink when power is applied or reapplied (upon initial
installation or after cleaning). This is a stand-by mode to ensure water
lines are hooked up properly before unit resumes operation. This will blink
for 5 minutes before going to system ready. The 5-minute default can be
overriden by the installer by pressing the RESET button.
Press Empty will blink to indicate that the water tank needs cleaning. Push
the EMPTY button to drain the tank for safe removal and cleaning.
Reset Button If the Press Reset light is blinking, press the RESET button to
override the 5-minute delay at startup. If the Call Service LED is on (fault is
present), press/release the RESET button to blink a diagnostic code on the
Call Service LED. Press/Hold the button for 5 seconds to clear all faults and
reset “Clean Tank” timers. If the Press Empty LED is blinking, press/hold the
RESET button for 5 seconds to turn off the Press Empty LED and restart the
Clean tank timer.
Empty Button Press and hold for 3 seconds to drain the tank of water for
service. Do this before servicing the tank and internal parts.

Wait
(approximately 15 minutes)
Go to Step 2
Drain Operation
• Auto flushing is configurable to 10, 20 or 30 hours of operational time (heating element
active).
• During auto flushing, cold water will enter the tank to lower water temperature below 140°F
(60°C) before draining.
• During manual flush (performed by pressing the EMPTY button) initial water temperature
may be above 140°F (60°C). Ensure drain outlet is not exposed and use caution when
pressing the EMPTY button, and do NOT attempt to remove the tank with water in it.
• Manual flush takes approximately 15 minutes to empty the tank completely.
CAUTION
Hot water temperature above 140°F (60°C) can cause burns from scalding.

Seasonal or vacation maintenance
TrueSTEAM has the built-in intelligence to shut down when humidity is not needed for an
extended period. After 48 hours of inactivity, TrueSTEAM will drain its tank and remain empty
until it is needed again. This prevents water from stagnating within the tank. There are a few
house-cleaning steps to follow to keep your TrueSTEAM at peak efficiency:
1. Follow steps 1–6 in the Cleaning section on pages 7–8 at least once per year, or when the
Press Empty light is blinking.
2. Clear ventilation holes in the humidifier’s cover.
3. Clear the water drain tube.
4. Make sure the water tank gasket seal is not cracked or split before reattaching the
humidifier water tank.
5. Check that the humidifier is still level.
Extended Vacation
When you leave on extended vacations, it is recommended you turn off the humidifier’s water
supply and turn off the humidity control. When you return, turn on the humidifier water supply and
reset your humidity control to a comfortable position.
