INTRODUCTION
Your new 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 any white dust, minerals, or dissolved and suspended solids. Because
the water is evaporated, there is 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.
Use only AIRCARE

brand replacement wicks and additives. To order

evaporative wick guarantees the
certified output of your humidifier. Use of other brands of wicks voids the certification of
output and may void your warranty.
HOW YOUR HUMIDIFIER WORKS
Your new 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

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.
NOTES ON LOCATION:
In order to get the most effective use from your humidifier, it is important to position
the unit where the most humidity is needed or where the moist air will be circulated
