8) Turn the cabinet right side up.
EVAPORATIVE WICK
9) When placing the wick back into the humidifier, the rod and float assembly must also be
reattached. Insert the top of the float rod through the hole on the extended wick retainer
(attached to the top of the wick frame) (A). 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. (B).
AIR CLEANING FILTER (OPTIONAL)
10) 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. (C)
CHASSIS/POWER PACK
11) Place the chassis/power pack unit into the cabinet, so it fits without tipping or rocking.
12) 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. (D) 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.
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) The H12 3- speed fan control allows you to use the low setting for the quietest operation
or a high setting for maximum output.
3) 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
humidifier off when the relative humidity reaches the humidistat setting. For initial
operation, set the humidistat at its midpoint “two-droplet” setting and adjust up or down
from there to achieve the desired humidity level.
4) The refill light will indicate when the unit is completely out of water. The motor will also
shut off. To refill, see Step 9.
NOTE:
When
excessive condensation
exists, a lower speed setting is recommended.
CAUTION: Disconnect power before filling, cleaning or servicing unit. Keep grille dry at all times.
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 be reduced
when using the AirCare filter. AirCare filters are optional and are not required for normal operation of the humidifier.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning your humidifier regularly helps eliminate odors and bacterial and fungal growth.
Ordinary household
bleach is a good disinfectant and can be used to wipe out the humidifier base and bottle/reservoir after cleaning.
We recommend cleaning your humidifier at least once every two weeks to maintain optimum environmental conditions for
your home.
We also recommend using Essick Air Bacteriostat Treatment each time you refill your humidifier to eliminate bacterial
growth.
Add bacteriostat according to the instructions on the bottle. Please call 1-800-547-3888 to order Bacteriostat
Treatment reference part#1970.
