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 and after every 30 to 60 days of operation to
maintain optimum performance. In hard water areas, more frequent
replacement may be necessary to maintain your humidifier’s efficiency.

certification of output and may void your warranty.
HOW YOUR
HUMIDIFIER WORKS
Dry air is drawn into the
humidifier top, then air is
moisturized as it passes
through the saturated
evaporative wick in the
reservoir.
The humidified air is then
fanned out into the room
through the lower front
grille.
CAUTIONS ON ADDITIVES TO WATER
:
•
To maintain the wick’s integrity and warranty, never add anything to the water
except Essick Air bacteriostat for evaporative humidifiers. If you only have
softened water available in your home, you can use it, but mineral buildup will
occur more quickly. You can use distilled or purified water to help extend the
life of the wick.
•
Never add essential oils in the water. It can damage the plastic seals and
cause leaks.
