How Your Humidifier Works
Your new Essick Air® Evaporative humidifier is
designed to satisfy home humidity
requirements through the principle of evaporation
of water in the air.
Once the wick becomes saturated, air is drawn in,
passes through the wick and moisture is absorbed
into the air. All evaporation occurs in the
humidifier so any residue remains in the wick.
This natural process of evaporation creates no
white dust like some other humidifiers.
Set Up and Location
1) Unpack humidifier from carton and remove all packaging material, wick, etc. from box.
2) Place humidifier on a flat level surface. Position the humidifier where the most humidity is
needed or where the most air will be circulated throughout the house such as near a cold
air return. If the unit is positioned close to a window, condensation may form on the
window pane. If this occurs the unit should be repositioned in another location.
NOTE:
Due to release of cool, moist air from humidifier, it is best to direct air away from
thermostat and hot air registers, and to position humidifier next to an inside wall. Unit
should not be placed where cold air from outside walls or warm air from a hot air register
blows directly on it.
3) Place the humidifier at least 4 inches from the wall.
WARNING:
For your own safety, do not use humidifier if any parts are damaged or missing
CAUTION: Do NOT position the unit directly in front of a hot air duct or radiator.
Do NOT place on soft carpet. We suggest placing the unit on a table or on a
bookshelf.
IMPORTANT: Water damage may
result if condensation starts to form
on windows or walls. Humidity SET
point should be lowered until
condensation no longer forms. We
recommend room humidity levels do
not exceed 50%.
