How Your Humidifier Works

Your new Essick Air® Evaporative humidifier is
designed to satisfy home humidity
requirements through the principle of evaporation
of water in the air.

Once the wick becomes saturated, air is drawn in,
passes through the wick and moisture is absorbed
into the air. All evaporation occurs in the
humidifier so any residue remains in the wick.
This natural process of evaporation creates no
white dust like some other humidifiers.

WARNING:

For your own safety, do not use humidifier if any parts are damaged or missing

Set Up and Location

1) Unpack humidifier from carton and remove all packaging material, wick, etc. from box.

2) Place humidifier on a flat level surface. Position the humidifier where the most humidity is

needed or where the most air will be circulated throughout the house such as near a cold
air return. If the unit is positioned close to a window, condensation may form on the
window pane. If this occurs the unit should be repositioned in another location.

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.

NOTE:

thermostat and hot air registers, and to position humidifier next to an inside wall. Unit
should not be placed where cold air from outside walls or warm air from a hot air register
blows directly on it.

3) Place the humidifier at least 4 inches from the wall.

Due to release of cool, moist air from humidifier, it is best to direct air away from

Filling

CAUTION: Disconnect power before filling, cleaning or servicing unit. Keep grille
dry at all times.

1) Lift chassis (top section) off base. Position wick in the notch at the back of the base.

POUR WATER HERE

2) Before replacing the chassis, fill the base with unsoftened water. DO NOT POUR
WATER OVER THE ELECTRICAL CHASSIS. Fill the base only through the opening

provided (See illustration), to the level marked “MAX FILL” on the center bottom of the
base. If water spills on the chassis, it must be allowed to dry completely before
turning on the humidifier. If you have only softened water available in your home, you
can use it, but you will notice a build up of minerals on the evaporative wicks much
sooner. Base capacity is 2.0 gallons. DO NOT OVERFILL.

CAUTION: Do not spill water on fan motor. Electrical components must be kept

.

3) We recommend using only EPA registered bacteriostat treatment such as Essick Air

Bacteriostat, Part Number 1970 whenever you refill the humidifier base to eliminate
bacterial growth. Add bacteriostat according to the instructions on the bottle.

4) Reposition the chassis on the base and the unit is ready for operation.

5) Plug cord into wall receptacle.

Controls and Operation

NOTE: 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.
