Introduction
Your Bemis by Essick Air 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 in the wick
any white dust, minerals or dissolved and suspended solids. Because the
water is evaporated, there is no messy mist or spray
, and no white dust,
just clean and invisible moist air.
As the wick traps accumulated minerals from the water, its ability to
absorb and evaporate water decreases. W
e recommend changing the
wick at least once a year, preferably disposing of the used wick at the
end of the humidifying season and starting with a new one at the
beginning of the next humidifying season. In hard water areas, more
frequent replacement may be necessary to maintain your humidifier’s
efficiency.
CAUTION - W
e recommend using Bemis by Essick Air Bacteria Treatment
or a similar strength product, whenever you refill the water reservoir to
eliminate bacteria growth. Follow the directions to determine the proper
amount to be added to the 6 gallon water reservoir. The evaporative wick
does not require the use of chelating agent type water treatments that are
intended for use in Rotobelt or Water Wheel type humidifiers. Your humid-
ifier is provided with a 6 gallon water reservoir. The unit is designed to
have an output of 8 gallons per 24 hours. When the reservoir has emp-
tied, the refill light will illuminate. The humidifier fan will automatically
shut off. For your safety, unplug humidifier every time it is refilled. If any
water spills on the motor chassis, wipe dry before
plugging in after filling
Dry air is drawn into the humidifier
through the top and moisturized as it
passes through the wick. Then it is
fanned out into the room.

Locate your humidifier at least 4" away

front of a hot air duct or radiator.
