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. 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® brand replacement wicks and chemicals. To order parts, wicks and chemicals call 1-800-547-3888. This humidifier uses wick # SGL1040. Only the AIRCARE® or Essick Air® evaporative wick guarantees 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
Your new 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.
Air is drawn in through the vents in the back
Humidified air is expelled out the front louvers

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.
Do NOT position the unit directly in front of a hot air duct or radiator. Do NOT place on soft carpet.

Due to release of cool, moist air from the humidifier, it is best to direct air away from thermostat and hot air registers. Position humidifier next to an inside wall on a level place at least 4 inches away from the wall or curtains.
ASSEMBLY
1)Unpack humidifier from carton.
2)Remove all packaging materials, wick, etc. from box.

WATER FILL AND WICK REPLACEMENT
CAUTION: Before filling, ensure unit is turned OFF and unplugged. NOTE: Unit will continue running, even when out of water.
1)Lift chassis (top section) off base. Position wick in the notch at the back of the base.
2)Before replacing the chassis, fill the base with unsoftened water. DO NOT POUR WATER OVER THE ELECTRICAL CHASSIS. Fill the base (see illustration, next page) to the level marked “MAX FILL” on the center bottom of the base.
3)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 wick much sooner. Base capacity is 1.2 gallons. DO NOT OVERFILL.
*Parts and accessories may be ordered by calling 1-800-547-3888, or visit www.essickair.com or www.AIRCAREproducts.com. Please have model number of humidifier available when ordering.

REPLACEMENT OF WICK
CAUTION: Before changing wick, ensure unit is turned OFF and unplugged.
NOTE: This unit uses model SGL1040 wick. Replace the wick at the beginning of each season, and more often in areas with hard water.
1)To replace wick, lift off the chassis.
2)Remove the old wick and replace with a fresh wick.
ABOUT HUMIDITY
Where you set your desired humidity levels depends on your personal comfort level, the outside temperature and the inside temperature.
NOTE: Recent CDC tests show that the chances of flu transmission are greatly reduced at levels of 43% humidity.
You may wish to purchase a hygrometer* to measure the humidity level in your home. The following is a chart of recommended humidity settings.
IMPORTANT: Water damage may result if condensation starts to form on windows or walls. Humidity SET point should be lowered until condensation no longer forms. We recommend room humidity levels do not exceed 50%.
