EVAPORATIVE WICK
6. Insert the 1041 wick into the unit. The
wick has a mounting rib on the top edge
which hooks over a rib at the inside back
of the cabinet. This allows the wick to
hang in the water channel (see cutaway
illustration for details). Hang wick into
cabinet as shown.
OPTIONAL AIR CLEANING FILTER
(included on 447 and 697 models; sold
separately on 696)
7. If available, install the 1051 AirCare®
filter on the back of the unit. The filter
has tangs that engage into four keyhole slots that mount the AirCare® filter
onto the outside of the back of the cabinet.
FILLING INFORMATION
Your humidifier is equipped with two water bottles. On the 696 and 697 models
each bottle holds 2.6 gallons. The 447 model bottles hold 2.75 gallons each. A fill
hose that fits most faucets is provided with your humidifier.
Observe the following notes and cautions before proceeding to fill the unit.
NOTE:
For optimum running time, fill each water bottle, tighten the cap, and
place inside unit. Do not fill the reservoir cabinet, as overfilling will result in
possible overflowing causing water damage. Use only the bottles provided. One
bottle will drain until the reservoir is filled. Remove the partially emptied bottle and
refill it to prolong runtime. Place back in humidifier cabinet.
CAUTION:
When filling, be careful not to pressurize the bottle by overfilling it.
Bottle damage can result from this, causing improper draining.
NOTE:
On initial fill up, it will take approximately 20 minutes for the reservoir to fill
because the dry wick will be absorbing water. Subsequent fillings will take
approximately 12 minutes, since the wick is already saturated.
1. Place the chassis / power pack in the unit: The 447 chassis rests on top of
the cabinet; the 696 and 697 chassis rests on a ledge recessed inside the
cabinet edge.
2. Fill the bottles with cool, fresh (preferably unsoftened) water. If you only
have softened water available in your home, you can use it, but mineral
buildup will occur more quickly.
3. After the filling process is complete, insert the water bottles into the
humidifier, placing them with the valve cap end down, so that the groove in
the water bottle faces the inside.
4. After filling is complete, replace /close the covers.
