Introduction
This humidifier is designed to provide relief from dry air discomfort in localized areas,
such as bedrooms, dens and other rooms where humidity is needed. This product is not
intended to humidify a whole house.
Your Bemis by Essick Air evaporative 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 sus-
pended solids. Because the water is evaporated, there is no messy mist or spray and no
white dust, just clean and invisible moist air.
As the evaporative wick traps accummulated minerals from the water, its ability to
absorb and evaporate water decreases. We recommend changing the wick at least once
a year, preferably disposing of the used wick at the end of the humidifying season and
starting with a new wick at the beginning of the next humidifying season. In hard water
areas, more frequent replacement may be necessary to maintain your humidifier's effi-
ciency.
Caution- We recommend using Bemis by Essick Air Bacteria
Treatment whenever you refill the water bottle to eliminate
bacteria growth. Follow the directions to determine the prop-
er amount to be added to the 1 3/4 gallon water bottle. The
wick does not require the use of chelating agent type
water treatments that are intended for use in Rotobelt
or Water Wheel type humidifiers.
Tips for Best
Performance
1) Do not block airflow inlets or outlets. Keep the grille areas clean.
2) Place the humidifier at least four inches away from any walls and in an area away
from heat registers.
3) Regular cleaning of the humidifier is recommended. Follow the Care and
Maintenance instructions in this manual.
4) Replace the optional Air Care Filter regularly, preferably once a year.
5) Change the evaporative wick at least once a year. In extremely hard water areas,
more frequent replacement may be necessary. Only Bemis by Essick Air wicks guar-
antee the rated output of your humidifier.
6) Use a bacteriostat, such as Bemis by Essick Air #1970 EPA Registered Bacteria
Treatment or Bemis by Essick Air #1970CN Environment Protection Branch regis-
tered Bacteria Treatment (in Canada), whenever you fill the water bottle to eliminate
bacteria growth. To order Air Care
call 1-800-547-3888 or use the convenient order form in the back of this manual.
7) Do not use water treatment products designed for Water wheel, Rotobelt, drum type,
or ultrasonic humidifiers. These products may cause the wick to become inefficient.
