Rear of Unit
NOTE
: Ensure
pre-installed float valve
assembly is positioned correctly and
securely in place. Vibrations in shipping
may have loosened them. The valve
should work up and down, and nut should
fit snug against the reservoir wall. Always
check for leaks around valve assembly,
especially after moving the unit.
CHASSIS/POWER PACK
7) Place the chassis/power pack unit into
the cabinet, so it fits without tipping or
rocking, ensuring the float rod fits in the pocket of the chassis.
CAUTION: Disconnect power before filling, cleaning or servicing unit. Keep
grille dry at all times.
NOTE: Chassis must be in place before filling.
IMPORTANT FILLING INFORMATION
8) The water fill compartment door is located on the left
side of the unit. The latch is released by pressing on
the fill door. It will pop open.
9) Fill by carefully pouring cool tap water or bottled
distilled water from a pitcher/container or using a fill
hose attached to a faucet. Do not use warm water
as this might cause damage or leaking from the unit.
10) When the tank is filled for the first time and the wick
is still dry, it will take approximately 30 minutes for
the wick to absorb the water from the reservoir.
After this initial saturation, the tank should be refilled
again to obtain maximum running time.
11) 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 tank holds 2.5
gallons. When filling, be careful not to overfill.
AIR CLEANING FILTER (OPTIONAL)
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.
NOTE:
We recommend using Essick Air
Bacteriostat treatment part # 1970 when
you refill the tank to eliminate bacterial
growth. Add bacteriostat according to the
instructions on the bottle.
NOTE:
Overfilling will result in water damage.
