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 drapes, 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) Regular cleaning is recommended. Refer to the CARE & MAINTENANCE section
in the manual.
INTRODUCTION
Your Essick Air evaporative humidifier adds invisible moisture to your home by
moving dry inlet 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 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 3D6 humidifier uses two (2) Essick Air wick
# 1040. 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. We suggest placing the unit on a table or on a
bookshelf.
ASSEMBLY, CONTROLS & OPERATION
ASSEMBLY
1) Unpack humidifier from carton and remove all packaging material, wicks, etc. from
box.
REMOVE THE PLASTIC WRAP AROUND WICK. Remove foam from
bottles.
2) Place the humidifier with evaporative wicks at the location where the product will
be operated at least 4 inches from the wall. Fill bottles. Replace caps and tighten
securely. Using both hands, carry each bottle to the base. NOTE: If only softened
water is available, it can be used; however you will notice a build up of minerals on
the evaporative wick much sooner. Do not spill water on fan motor. Electrical
components must be kept dry.
