WATER FILL
CAUTION: Before filling, ensure unit is turned OFF and unplugged
7) Open the fill door on the front of the unit. Insert funnel into the open fill door.
Using a pitcher, carefully pour water to the MAX FILL level on the wick frame.
NOTE: On initial fill up, it will take approximately
20 minutes for the unit to become ready for
operation, since the wick must become saturated.
Subsequent fillings will take approximately 12
minutes, since the wick is already saturated.
NOTE: We recommend using AIRCARE
®
or
Essick Air
®
Bacteriostat Treatment when you
refill the water reservoir to eliminate bacterial
growth. Add bacteriostat according to the
instructions on the bottle.
8) After the filling process is complete, and the
wick is saturated, the unit is ready for use.
ABOUT HUMIDITY
Where you set your desired humidity levels depends on your personal comfort
level, the outside temperature and the inside temperature.
NOTE: Recent CDC tests show that only 14% of flu virus particles could infect
people after 15 minutes at levels of 43% humidity.
You may wish to purchase a hygrometer to measure the humidity level in your
home. The following is a chart of recommended humidity settings.

OPERATION
Plug cord into wall receptacle. Your humidifier is now ready for use. The
humidifier should be placed at least TWO inches away from any walls and away
from heat registers. Unrestricted airflow into the unit will result in the best efficiency
and performance.
NOTE:
This unit has an automatic humidistat located in the control that senses the
humidity level around the immediate area of the humidifier. It turns the humidifier
on when the relative humidity in your home is below the humidistat setting and will
turn the humidifier off when the relative humidity reaches the humidistat setting.
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%.
