be reduced when using the AirCare® filter. AirCare® filters are optional and are not
required for normal operation of the humidifier. AirCare® is registered trademark of
Essick Air Products.
12. The AirCare® filter has four tangs that engage into four keyhole slots that mount
the AirCare® filter onto the outside of the back of the cabinet.
OPERATION
1. Plug cord into wall
receptacle. Your
humidifier is now
ready for use. The
humidifier should be
placed at least FOUR
inches away from any
walls and away from
heat registers.
Unrestricted airflow
into the unit will result
in the best efficiency
and performance.
2. Push in on the lower knob to turn the unit on.
Fan Speed:
3. Rotate the fan speed knob clockwise to increase the fan speed. The speed
settings ( 1
– 4) will be shown on the LED display.
NOTE: When excessive condensation exists, a lower speed setting is recommended.
Humidity Level:
NOTE:
Each model has an automatic humidistat with settings from 25-65%. The
humidistat will turn the humidifier on when the humidity in your home is below the
humidistat setting and will turn the humidifier off when the humidity reaches the
humidistat setting. When set at 65%, the humidifier will operate continuously.
4. For initial operation, set the humidity knob at a midpoint setting (45-50% is
recommended) and adjust up or down from there to achieve the desired
humidity level. The digital display will show the desired setting momentarily,
and then revert to displaying the actual humidity.
Control Panel Displays:
Several functions of the humidifier can be monitored through the LED display on
the control panel.
Refill Indication:
1. The letter
F on the display indicates when the unit is entirely out of water. The
motor will cut off at this point.
Filter Indication:
2.
The filter’s condition is critical to the humidifier’s effectiveness. A check filter
function (
CF ) will display every 720 hours of operation to remind the user to
check the condition of the filter. Water condition significantly affects the life of
a wick, so replacement of wick may be required more often if hard water
conditions exist.
3. Replace the filter as necessary per instructions on page 4.
4. To reset the CF function, or when replacing the filter, unplug the unit for 1-2
minutes and then reconnect it to power
.
