How Your Humidifier Works
Your new Essick Air® Evaporative
humidifier is designed to satisfy home
humidity requirements through the
principle of evaporation of water into
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.
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.
NOTE:
Due to release of cool, moist air from humidifier, it is best to direct air away
from 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 wallor curtains.
Filling
CAUTION: 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.
