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 tr affic 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 ef ficiency.
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.
