Essick Air 5D6 700 Humidifier User Manual


 
AIR CARE® FILTERS
The 5D6 700 has an optional two-stage air filter (#1050) that can be inserted into the top
of the chassis which filters the air as it humidifies.
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 of the Air Care filter is
an activated carbon media which absorbs odors from cooking, pets or tobacco smoke.
We recommend replacing the Air Care filter at least once a year, more often if
necessary. When the white filter media is coated with a layer of dust and dirt, it is time to
replace the filter.
The certified water output of your humidifier will be reduced when using the Air Care
filter. The Air Care filters are optional and are not required for normal operation of the
humidifier.
