that the groove in the water bottle faces the inside.
(D) Replace the
black water bottle cover, and this will complete assembly.
Do not attempt to move a filled humidifier as the water in the reservoir will spill out the
rear grille opening. Empty the unit before relocating.
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. This
may take up to a half hour. Then refill the bottle and replace in cabinet. Do
not fill the reservoir with a bucket, as overfilling will result in water damage.
Use only the bottle provided.
10) We recommend using Bemis by Essick Air Bacteria treatment whenever 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.
OPERATION
11) Plug cord into wall receptacle. Your
humidifier is now ready for use. Position the
unit at least four inches from the wall for
best results.
12) The H10 2-speed or H12 3-speed fan
control allows you to use a low setting for
the most quiet operation or a high setting
for maximum output.
13) All models have an automatic humidistat. The humidistat will turn the humidifier on when
the relative humidity in your home is below the humidistat setting and will turn the humid-
ifier off when the relative humidity reaches the humidistat setting. For initial operation,
set the humidistat at the “two-droplet” position and adjust up or down from there to
achieve the desired humidity level.
14) The refill light will indicate when the unit is completely out of water. The motor will also
shut off. To refill the unit, see Step 9.
Optional AirCare
®
Filter
The first stage of the air filter is 3M Filtrete™, a high-efficiency, electrostatically charged filter
media which traps dust, pollen, and airborne pollutants. The second stage of the AirCare fil-
ter 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 be reduced when using the AirCare filter.
AirCare filters are optional and are not required for normal operation of the humidifier.
