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. This humidifier is ETL listed with Essick Air brand evaporative wicks in
place.
6. It is very important that cleaning solutions such as bleach, anti-bacteria
treatment or descaler, which could be used to clean the cabinet, are not
sprayed or applied to the chassis assembly. These solutions can cause
serious electrical malfunction of the humidifier.
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 800 Series humidifiers use
Essick Air wick # 1043. 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 output of your humidifier.
