IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
READ BEFORE USING YOUR HUMIDIFIER
1) This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized 120volt AC, 15 amp outlet, and only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do
not attempt to defeat this safety feature. If an extension cord must be used, it
should also accept the wide blade plug and meet this electrical rating.
2) Do not place the cord under rugs, near loose drapes, in traffic areas, nor near
heat sources or combustible materials.
3) Do not use the humidifier if the cord is damaged.
4) Always unplug the power cord before filling, cleaning, servicing, or when
the unit is not in use.
5) This humidifier is UL listed with Essick Air brand evaporative wicks in place. To
maintain your UL rating, see your service center for all repairs.
6) Regular cleaning is recommended. Refer to the CARE & MAINTENANCE
section in the manual.
INTRODUCTION
Your Essick Air evaporative humidifier adds invisible moisture to your home by
moving dry inlet air through a saturated wick. As air moves through the wick, the
water evaporates into the air, leaving behind any white dust, minerals, or dissolved
and suspended solids. Because the water is evaporated, there is just clean and
invisible moist air.
As the evaporative wick traps accumulated minerals from the water, its ability to
absorb and evaporate water decreases. We recommend changing the wick at the
beginning of every season. In hard water areas, more frequent replacement may
be necessary to maintain your humidifier’s efficiency.
Use only Essick Air brand replacement wicks and chemicals. To order parts,
wicks and chemicals call 1-800-547-3888. The 700 Series humidifiers use Essick
Air wick # 1040. Only the Essick Air evaporative wick guarantees the certified output
of your humidifier. Use of wicks other than Essick Air brand will void your warranty
as well as the certification of output and may reduce the efficiency of your
humidifier.
CAUTION: Do NOT position the unit directly in front of a hot air duct or
radiator. Do NOT place on soft carpet. We suggest placing the unit on a table
or on a bookshelf.
ASSEMBLY, CONTROLS & OPERATION
ASSEMBLY
1) Unpack humidifier from carton and remove all packaging material, wicks, etc.
from box. Remove foam from bottle.
2) Place the humidifier “cabinet” with evaporative wick at the location where the
product will be operated at least 4 inches from the wall. Fill bottle to capacity of
1 ¾ gallons, replace cap and tighten securely. Using both hands to carry the
bottle to the base. NOTE: If only softened water is available, it can be used;
however you will notice a build up of minerals on the evaporative wick much
sooner. Do not spill water on fan motor. Electrical components must be
kept dry.
3) Make sure wick is resting all the way into the
water channel as
indicated by the illustrations,
making sure the wick is resting all the way into the

Placement
4) Return bottle to its upright position using the handles on
the top of the bottle. Set the bottle in the recessed area,
the top of the bottle flush with the top of the humidifier.
See illustration. When positioned properly, the valve will
open and water will flow into the water channel.
5) We recommend using Essick Air Bacteriostat Treatment
whenever you refill the humidifier reservoir to eliminate
bacterial growth. Add bacteriostat according to the
instructions on the bottle.
6) Plug cord into wall receptacle and turn humidifier on.
Note The outlet grille is
louvered and may be rotated 360 degrees to direct the airflow where you want
it.
**When excessive condensation exists, a lower speed setting is recommended.
CAUTION: Disconnect power before filling, cleaning or servicing unit. Keep
grille dry at all times.
OPERATION & CONTROLS –
1) The humidifier should be placed at least FOUR inches away from any walls and
away from heat registers. Do not place on soft carpet. Unrestricted airflow into
the unit will result in the best efficiency and performance. Set desired levels
and speed.
2) Model 736 200 only- has an
automatic
humidistat. (The humidistat control knob is
located on the right). The humidistat will turn the
humidifier on when the relative humidity in your
home is below the humidistat setting and will turn
the humidifier off when the relative humidity
reaches the humidistat setting. For initial
operation, set the humidistat at its midpoint and
adjust up or down from there to achieve the
desired humidity level.
