INTRODUCTION
Your new humidifier adds invisible moisture to your home by moving dry 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 in the
wick. Because the water is evaporated, there is no messy mist or spray, 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 and after every 30 to 60 days of operation to maintain
optimum performance. In hard water areas, more frequent replacement may be
necessary to maintain your humidifier’s efficiency.

CAUTIONS ON ADDITIVES TO WATER:
• To maintain the wick’s integrity and warranty, never add anything to the water
except Essick Air bacteriostat for evaporative humidifiers. If you only have softened
water available in your home, you can use it, but mineral buildup will occur more
quickly. You can use distilled or purified water to help extend the life of the wick.
• Never add essential oils in the water. It can damage the plastic seals and cause
leaks.
O
nce the wick becomes saturated,
air is drawn in, passes through the
wick and moisture is circulated 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.
Dry air is drawn into the humidifier
though the back and moisturized
as it passes through the
evaporative wick. It is then
circulated
out into the room.
