will automatically shut off, but will start again automatically when the reservoir is refilled.
10) When the reservoir is being filled for the first time and the wick is still dry, it will take approximately 20 minutes to drain the bottle into the
reservoir. After the reservoir has emptied, it should be refilled again to obtain maximum running time.
NOTE: We recommend using Essick Air Bacteriostat Treatment when you refill the water reservoir to eliminate bacterial growth. Add
bacteriostat according to the instructions on the bottle.
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 800 Series 2-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.

home.
