Essick Air DP3 200 Humidifier User Manual


 
Troubleshooting
1. Unit does not operate at any speed setting:
Polarized cord must be fully inserted in wall outlet. Turn the humidi-
stat control fully clockwise, then return to the desired setting.
For use as an air purifier only, turn the humidistat fully clockwise to
the lock-on position.
Check the airflow path. Are there any obstructions preventing move-
ment 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 near-
est authorized service station. DO NOT ATTEMPT to repair the motor
yourself.
2. The air does not seem to be any cleaner:
This unit removes airborne particulates which are, in some cases, too
small to be seen by the naked eye. Verify the filter is installed proper-
ly and motor is turning the fan blade. If so, the air is being cleaned.
3. The filter doesn't look real dirty. Can I continue to use it or
try to clean it:
The filter may be gently vacuumed to remove loose dust, etc.
4. Not enough humidity:
This is an evaporative humidifier. The humidity is invisible.
The four open holes on the front of the cover are required for proper
humidistat operation. They must be kept unobstructed and clean.
Check the condition of the evaporative wicks and the air cleaning fil-
ters. The evaporative wicks should be damp. If they are dry, refer to
the “Controls and Operation” section for the correct position of the
wicks. If the wicks are clogged, replace them.
The water bottles may be empty – refill.
The humidistat control may be set too low. Adjust the humidistat con-
trol clockwise to a higher setting.
5. 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.
6. Water does not flow out of the bottles:
After refilling the water bottles and placing them in the 2 in 1 air
purifier & humidifier, water may not flow into the tray if the 2 in 1 air
purifier & humidifier was run dry. Lift one of the bottles several times
so the valve opens and closes. This will start the flow of water.
