Introduction
Your Bemis by Essick Air 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, min-
erals or dissolved and suspended solids. Because the water is evaporated,
there is no messy mist or spray, and no white dust just clean and invisible
moist air. As the wick traps accumulated minerals from the water, its ability
to absorb and evaporate water decreases. We recommend changing the
wick at least once a year, preferably disposing of the used wick at the end
of the humidifying season and starting with a new wick at the beginning of
the next humidifying season. In hard water areas, more frequent replace-
ment may be necessary to maintain your humidifier's efficiency.
CAUTION- We recommend Bemis by Essick Air Bacteria Treatment
whenever you refill the water bottles to eliminate bacteria growth. Follow the
directions to determine the proper amount to be added to the 2.6 gallon
water bottles.
The wick does not require the use of chelating agent type water treatments
that are intended for use in Rotobelt or Water Wheel type humidifiers.
Your humidifier is equipped with two water bottles. When a bottle has
emptied, the "refill bottle" message will light. When both bottles have
emptied, the humidifier fan will automatically shut off, but will start again
automatically when the water bottles are refilled.
Dry air is drawn into the
humidifier through the back
and moisturized as it passes
through the evaporative wick. It
is then fanned out into the
room.

Locate your humidifier on an inside wall, near an electrical outlet. The
humidifier should be at least 4" away from the wall for best results. Do not
position the unit directly in front of a hot air duct or radiator.
