2
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
READ BEFORE USING YOUR HUMIDIFIER
1.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized
120-volt AC, 15 amp outlet, and only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in
the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. If an extension cord
must be used, it should also accept the wide blade plug and meet this
electrical rating.
2.
Do not place the cord under rugs, near loose draperies, in traffic areas, nor
near heat sources or combustible materials.
3.
Do not use the humidifier if the cord is damaged.
4.
Always unplug the power cord before filling, cleaning, servicing, or
when the unit is not in use.
5.
This humidifier is ETL listed with Essick Air brand evaporative wicks in
place.
6.
It is very important that cleaning solutions such as bleach, anti-bacteria
treatment or descaler, which could be used to clean the cabinet, are not
sprayed or applied to the chassis assembly. These solutions can cause
serious electrical malfunction of the humidifier.
INTRODUCTION
Your Essick Air evaporative humidifier adds invisible moisture to your home by
moving dry air through a saturated wick. As air moves through the wick, the
water evaporates into the air, leaving behind any white dust, minerals, or
dissolved and suspended solids. Because the water is evaporated, there is no
messy mist or spray, just clean and invisible moist air.
As the evaporative wick traps accumulated minerals from the water, its ability to
absorb and evaporate water decreases. We recommend changing the wick at
the beginning of every season. In hard water areas, more frequent replacement
may be necessary to maintain your humidifier’s efficiency.
Use only Essick Air brand replacement wicks and chemicals. To order parts,
wicks and chemicals call 1-800-547-3888. The DTS Series humidifiers use Essick
Air wick # 1041 and accommodate optional air filter #1051. Only the Essick Air
evaporative wick guarantees the certified output of your humidifier. Use of wicks
other than Essick Air brand will void your warranty as well as the certification of
output and may reduce the efficiency of your humidifier.
CAUTION: Do NOT position the unit directly in front of a hot air duct or
radiator. Do NOT place on soft carpet.
HOW YOUR HUMIDIFIER WORKS
Dry air is drawn into the
humidifier though the
back and moisturized
as it passes through the
evaporative wick. It is
then fanned out into the
room.
