Troubleshooting
1. Unit does not operate at any speed setting:
• Polarized cord must be fully inserted in wall outlet.Turn the humidistat control fully
clockwise.
• Check the airflow path. Are there any obstructions preventing movement of the
fan blade?
• The motor contains a temperature-sensing fuse. If the motor becomes overheated,
the fuse may trip. Unplug the unit and contact the nearest authorized service sta-
tion. DO NOT ATTEMPT to repair the motor yourself.
2. Not enough humidity:
• This is an evaporative humidifier. The humidity is invisible.
• Check the condition of the evaporative wick and the air cleaning filter. The evap-
orative wick should be damp. If it is dry, refer to the "controls and operation"
section for the correct position of the wick. If the wick is clogged, replace it.
• The water bottle may be empty–refill.
• The humidistat control may be set too low. Adjust the humidistat control clockwise
to a higher setting.
3. Too much humidity:
• When condensation becomes heavy on cold surfaces in the room, turn the unit to
a lower speed setting, turn down the humidistat (rotate counter clockwise), or
increase the room temperature.
4. Water does not flow out of the bottle:
• After refilling the water bottle and placing it in the humidifier, water may not flow
into the channel if the humidifier was run dry. Tip the bottle several times so the
valve opens and closes. This will start the flow of water.
5. Water bottle leaks:
• If the cap leaks after filling, remove the cap and inspect the bottle rim and the
foam cap gasket. Wipe any mineral deposits off the bottle rim and the cap gas-
ket. Tighten the cap securely.
• If the water valve leaks around the rubber stopper after filling, empty the water
bottle and inspect the stopper. Mineral particles may prevent full closure. Clean
the stopper. If leaking persists, stopper replacement may be necessary. Contact
your service center or Bemis by Essick Air customer service for assistance.
NOTE: The water bottle must be AIR TIGHT. The water channel will over-
flow if air leaks into the bottle during use from a loose cap or cracked
bottle. A leaking stopper will not affect the proper function of the water
bottle after it is installed in the humidifier.
CAUTION:
Disconnect power before cleaning or servicing.
