7. Holding the float in place, lower the wick and float assembly together into the
cabinet. The wick has a mounting rib on the top edge which hooks over a rib
at the inside back of the cabinet.
NOTE: The float rod retainer must be
extended prior to inserting the float rod. The
white float must be positioned into the pocket
in the bottom of the cabinet.
IMPORTANT FILLING INFORMATION
8. Your humidifier is equipped with one water
bottle. When both the water bottle and
reservoir have emptied, the humidifier fan
will automatically shut off, but will start
again automatically when the water bottle
and reservoir are refilled.
9. When the bottle is being filled for the first time and the
wick is still dry, it will take approximately 20 minutes
to drain the bottle into the reservoir. After the bottle
has emptied, it should be refilled again to obtain
maximum running time.
10. When refilling the bottle and the wick is still wet, it will
take approximately 12 minutes to refill the reservoir.
At this time, you should refill the bottle for maximum
running time.
11.
Fill the bottle water. If you only have softened water
available in your home, you can use it, but you will
notice a buildup of minerals on the wick much sooner.
The bottle holds 2.5 gallons. When filling, be careful
not to pressurize it by overfilling. Bottle damage can
result from this. A fill hose is provided with your
humidifier which will fit most faucets. Place the water bottle into the left side
of the humidifier with the valve cap end down, so that the groove in the water
bottle faces the inside. Replace the water bottle cover.
NOTE: We recommend using Essick Air Bacteriostat treatment when you refill the
water bottle to eliminate bacterial growth. Add bacteriostat according to the
instructions on the bottle and then tighten the valve cap on your water bottle.
NOTE: For optimum running time, fill the water bottle, tighten the cap, and place
inside unit, allowing it to completely drain into the water reservoir. Then refill the
bottle and replace in the cabinet. Do not fill the reservoir bucket, as overfilling will
result in water damage. Use only the bottle provided.
CHASSIS/POWER PACK
Place the chassis/power pack unit into the
cabinet, so it fits without tipping or rocking.
OPTIONAL AIRCARE® FILTER
The first stage of the air filter is a high-
efficiency, electrostatically charged filter media
which traps dust, pollen, and airborne
pollutants. The second stage is an activated
carbon media which absorbs odors from
cooking, pets, or tobacco smoke. We
recommend replacing the AirCare® filter at least once a year and more often if
necessary. When the white filter media is coated with a layer of dust and dirt, it is
time to replace the AirCare® filter. The certified water output of your humidifier will
