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 120-volt 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 ETL listed with Essick Air brand evaporative wicks in place.
6.It is very important that cleaning solutions such as bleach, anti-bacteria treatment or descaler, which could be used to clean the cabinet, are not sprayed or applied to the chassis assembly. These solutions can cause serious electrical malfunction of the humidifier.
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 no messy mist or spray and no white dust, 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 H12 Series humidifiers use Essick Air wick #1045. 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 and output 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.
HOW YOUR HUMIDIFIER WORKS
Dry air is drawn into the humidifier though the back and moisturized as it passes through the evaporative wick. It is then fanned out into the room.
LEGEND:
1.Water bottle
2.Chassis/power pack (motor/fan assembly)
3.Evaporative wick
4.Water reservoir
5.Dry room air intake
6.Moist air output
ASSEMBLY, CONTROLS & OPERATION
1.Remove the two polyfoam inserts from the top of the humidifier.
2.Lift off the water bottle cover (left-hand side). Remove the water bottle, lift off the chassis/power pack and then remove the humidifier cabinet from the carton.
3.Remove the evaporative wick, float assembly (black rod with white float), and all of the remaining packaging materials from the cabinet. Check to see that you have all of the following items removed from the boxes accessory kit and cabinet before discarding the packaging:
♦ Filler hose |
♦ |
Caster kit |
♦ Bacterial treatment sample |
♦ |
Water bottle with cap |
♦ Optional AirCare® Filter (purchased separately)
IMPORTANT FILLING INFORMATION
4.Your humidifier is equipped with one water bottle. When both the water bottle and reservoir have emptied, the humidifier fan will automatically shut off, but will start again automatically when the water bottle and reservoir are refilled.
5.When the bottle is being filled for the first time and the wick is still dry, it will take approximately 20 minutes to drain the bottle into the reservoir. After the bottle has emptied, it should be refilled again to obtain maximum running time.
6.When refilling the bottle and the wick is still wet, it will take approximately 12 minutes to refill the reservoir. At this time, you should refill the bottle for maximum running time.
CASTERS
7.Turn the emptied cabinet upside down. Insert each caster stem into the four caster holes on each corner of the humidifier bottom. The casters should fit snugly and be inserted until the stem shoulder reaches the cabinet surface.
8.Turn the cabinet right side up.
EVAPORATIVE WICK
9.When placing the wick back into the humidifier, the rod and float assembly must also be reattached. Insert the top of the float rod through the hole on the extended wick retainer (attached to the top of the wick frame) (See figure A).
Holding the float in place, lower the wick and float assembly together into the cabinet. The wick has a mounting rib on the top edge which hooks over a rib at the inside back of the cabinet. NOTE: The float rod retainer must be extended prior to inserting the float rod. The white float must be positioned into the pocket in the bottom of the cabinet. (See figure B)
