INTRODUCTION
Your new 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 in the wick. 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 AIRCARE® or Essick Air® / MoistAIR® brand replacement wicks and chemicals.
To order parts, wicks and chemicals call 1-800-547-3888. This series of humidifiers uses
wick # HDC12. Only AIRCARE
®
or Essick Air® / MoistAIR® evaporative wicks guarantee
the certified output of your humidifier. Use of other brands of wicks voids the certification of
output and may void your warranty.

HOW YOUR HUMIDIFIER
WORKS
Dry air is drawn into the
humidifier though the back and
moisturized as it passes
through the evaporative wicks.
It is then fanned out into the
room.
ASSEMBLY
1. Unpack humidifier from carton. Remove manual.
2. Remove all packaging materials. Some packaging material is located under the
fan assembly. Verify the following items are in the humidifier cabinet.

4 wicks installed
♦ 2 bottles ♦ 2 bottle caps and 2 valve caps
♦ Float with retainer ring ♦ Manual & registration card
CASTERS
3. Turn the emptied cabinet upside down.
♦ 4 casters and 2 caster pads

four caster holes manually Do not use
tools. The casters should fit snugly
and be inserted until the stem shoulder
reaches the cabinet surface.

NOTES ON LOCATION:
In order to get the most effective use from your humidifier, it is important to position
the unit where the most humidity is needed or where the moist 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.
Place humidifier on a flat,
level surface. Do NOT
position the unit directly in
front of a hot air duct or
radiator. If placing on
carpet, use caster pads to
ensure level placement.
Due to release of cool,
moist air from the
humidifier, it is best to
direct air away from
thermostat and hot air
registers. Place the unit on
a level surface 2 inches
from the wall.
NOTE: The use of a buble level will ensure
placement for proper bottle draining.

FILLING
WARNING: Disconnect power before filling, cleaning or servicing unit. Keep grille dry
at all times.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or shock hazard, DO NOT pour or spill water into
control or motor area. If controls get wet, let them dry completely and have unit
checked by authorized service personnel before plugging in
NOTE: Fill unit with cool, fresh (preferably unsoftened) water. If you only have softened water
available in your home, you can use it, but mineral buildup will occur more quickly.
NOTE: On initial fill up, it may take approximately 30 minutes for the wicks to become
fully saturated.
CAUTION: Use only EPA Registered Bacteriostat. Under no circumstances should
you use Water Treatment products intended for Rotobelt or Ultrasonic
humidifiers.
We recommend using AIRCARE
when you refill the water reservoir to eliminate bacterial growth. Add bacteriostat
according to the instructions on the bottle. Call 1-800-547-3888 to order.
NOTE: The humidifier contains water bottles. The weight of the bottles in the front of
the cabinet may cause the front casters to sink deeper into the carpet. If this happens,
the water level will be higher towards the front of the humidifier, and lower towards the
back. The water level float (located at the rear of the cabinet) may not sense the water
so the flashing “F” will be displayed and the unit will not energize. If this happens, the
unit will need to be leveled in order for the humidifier to be energized. To level the
humidifier, place the included caster pads under the front two casters of the humidifier
only.
1. Open the pivoting lid of the humidifier.
Remove the water bottles by lifting them
straight up and out of the cabinet.
Notice the water bottles are designed as
right and left hand units. When refilling the
bottles ensure correct placement for proper
function.
The water bottles should rest in the front of
the cabinet. Each “Side-Fill Cap” must be
facing the rear of the unit.
Each water bottle is designed with a
“Side-Fill Cap” and bottom valve cap.
Before filling each bottle check that the
bottle valve cap is on securely.
NOTE: A fill hose, P/N 4400, that attaches to a
faucet can be purchased by calling1-800-547-3888.
