Installation Kit

WELCOME

your Honeywell humidifier, you notice that your skin is not

as dry, and that your scratchy throat and irritated nasal

passages that aggravate allergies and asthma are

difference that humidified air makes.

Congratulations! You have just made a great investment

in improving the comfort of your home.
