AIR FILTER
The AIRCARE
®
filter #1051 is an excellent means of cleaning the air while using
your humidifier. 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
®
air 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 air filter. The certified water output of your humidifier
will be reduced when using the air filter. The air filters are optional and are not
required for normal operation of the humidifier. The 1051 is available for purchase
by calling 1-800-547-3888.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Disconnect power before filling, cleaning or servicing unit. Keep grille
dry at all times.
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 AIRCARE
®
or 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 number 1970.
