Exhaust Grill on the Upper Housing. Doing
so may cause damage and personal injury.
CAUTION:
•
Unplug Unit when filling.
•
Always place Humidifier on a firm level surface.
Locate the Power Cord so the Humidifier is
not resting on it, and is away from traffic.
•
Be careful not to overfill.
•
Do not pour water through Exhaust Grill,
doing so may cause damage and personal injury.
•
Take extra care to prevent water spillage
that may damage fur niture or floor ing. The
manufacturer will not accept responsibility for
damage to property caused by water spillage.
•
Always be sure the Power Knob is in the OFF
position when plugging Humidifier into a
grounded 120 volt AC wall outlet.
•
To prevent risk of electrical shock and injury to
persons, do not plug Humidifier into electrical
outlet with wet hands.
1. It is recommended that all Humidifiers be cleaned prior to use. Please
read Cleaning Instructions for Base and Jug cleaning.
2. Use the convenient Carrying Handle found on the bottom of the
Water Jug to bring it to a faucet. The Water Jug features a ‘Quick
Fill/Quick Empty’ Spout. To fill, hold Jug upside down by the Handle.
Use thumb to press down Stopper Lever, and fill Jug. Fill the Water
Jug with cool tap water. Never use hot water.
(Figure 3)
When the Jug is replaced back into the Base it will quickly
empty to fill Base.
NOTE: While carrying filled Water Jug back to the Humidifier, hold
the Handle with one hand, while supporting bottom of Water Jug
with other hand.
3. Place the Water Jug securely in the Base. If positioned
properly, water will quickly pour into Base and automatically stop
when reaching desired amount.
4. When gurgling noise stops lift up the Water Jug to see if it is
empty. Refill if empty. When the Unit is full, some water will re-
main in the Jug.
5. Even though your Humidifier will produce approximately 9.0
gallons in a 24 hour period*, the water capacity (amount of water
the Humidifier will hold at one time) is 4.5 gallons.
(3 FULL Jugs).

OPERATION
1. Turn fan speed knob to desired speed.
- For fast humidification of a large room or house,
approximately 9 gallon per day.*
- For normal operation.
- For quiet, night time operation or after desired moisture
level is reached.
* Calculations based on ambient room conditions of 70
°
F
and 30% relative humidity in a room of average insulation.
The correct room humidity display will set itself 10 seconds after
the power cord is plugged into a 120 V outlet.
2. Push the humidity set button up or down, to adjust the
humidity to the desired level. The desired humidity range is
25% to 95%.
The desired humidity level is displayed in small numbers and the
correct room humidity % is displayed in large numbers.
Once the current room humidity level reaches the desired humid-
ity level, the fan will turn off and the humidity indicator light will
come on. This light indicates that the humidifier is still on and will
again start when the current room humidity level falls below the
desired set level.
If the current room humidity drops below 25% or goes above
95%, the display will blink off and on until the current room
humidity is within the 30% to 90% range.

OFF-SEASON STORAGE
1.
Clean and dry Humidifier thoroughly per the
CLEANING
section above. Do not leave any water in the Unit when storing.
2.
Dispose of the Evaporative Filter Pad. Do not store used
Evaporative Filter Pad in the Humidifier.
3.
Place Humidifier back into its carton and store in a cool
dry place.
FILTER CARE
The Filter inside your Humidifier plays a very important part in its
operation. In order to maintain peak performance, it is highly
recommended to use only AIRKING REPLACEMENT FILTERS.
Some imitation filters do not comply with AirKing’s quality standards,
resulting in decreased performance of your Humidifier.
CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, always turn Power
Control Knob to OFF position and unplug before servicing.
1.
To replace the Evaporative Filter Pad, remove the Jug and Upper
Housing from the Base. Be careful not to let excess water
from pump spill onto furniture or flooring.
2.
Remove Evaporative Filter Pad Holder from Base and inspect
Small Water Drip Holes for any blockage.
(Figure 6)
3.
To open the Filter Holder apply outward pressure to the two
snaps and it will hinge open. Remove used Filter from Holder
and discard.
(Figure 7)
4.
Insert new Filter into Holder, snap closed, and reinstall Holder
into Base.
(Figure 7) The Filter will only fit into the Holder one
way. Make sure the Rounded side of the Filter Holder is facing
outward. Replace Upper Housing, then Water Jug into Base.
5.
To increase the life of your Filter Pad turn
Filter around (so the bottom of Filter is
now at the top).
6.
Filter life may be extended by cleaning
the Filter in a 20% vinegar solution. To
clean Filter, mix one part undiluted vin-
egar with four parts warm tap water. Soak the Filter in this
solution for 20 minutes, rinse Filter thoroughly with warm wa-
ter to remove vinegar odor.
DO NOT FLATTEN, SQUEEZE OR TWIST FILTER WHEN CLEANING.
7.
Discoloration of the Evaporative Pad is nor mal after
extended use. The discoloration is caused by mineral deposits
in the water, and the degree of discoloration will vary depending
upon the amount of mineral content in the water. When the Fil-
ter surface area is thoroughly discolored, or you notice
reduced water usage, it is a good indicator that the Filter Pad
needs to be replaced. The Evaporative Pad should be
replaced at least once every season.
CLEANING
1.
Regular cleaning is necessar y to ensure proper and
efficient operation. The frequency of cleaning depends on
the amount of impurities which may be found in the water
or how often the Humidifier is in operation. In either in-
stance, it is recommended that the Humidifier be
cleaned at least once a week.
NOTE: Unscrew bottom of Water
Jug for easy cleaning.
(Figure 8)
CAUTION: Make sure bottom of
Jug is securely fastened to Jug
before reinstalling into Base.
2.
TO DESCALE BASE, JUG
AND DRIP SHIELD: Mix one
part undiluted white vinegar
with four parts warm tap wa-
t e r. L e t v i n e g a r s o l u t i o n
stand for 20 minutes then
wipe away any scale buildup
using a soft brush or cloth.
Do not use soap or deter-
gents and never use an
abrasive cleaner.
3.
TO DISINFECT BASE, JUG
AND DRIP SHIELD: Fill Jug with 1 teaspoon of chlorine bleach
and 1 gallon of water. Let solution stand for 20 minutes. Carefully
empty Jug and rinse well with water until bleach smell is gone.
4.
Commercial "Descalers" and "Bacteriostats" are available at your
local home improvement center.
5.
Do not operate Humidifier when there is still cleaner in the water.
