How Your Humidifier Works; Unpacking And Setting Up The Unit - Essick 447 400HB Manual Del Propietário, Uso Y Cuidado

INTRODUCTION
Your 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 suspended solids. 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. In hard water areas, more frequent replacement
may be necessary to maintain your humidifier's efficiency.
Use only Essick Air brand replacement wicks and chemicals. To order parts,
wicks and chemicals call 1-800-547-3888. The 400 and 600 Series humidifiers
use Essick Air wick # 1041 and accommodate air filter #1051. Only the Essick Air
evaporative wick guarantees the certified output of your humidifier. Use of wicks
other than Essick Air brand may void your warranty as well as the certification of
output and may reduce the efficiency of your humidifier.
CAUTION: Do NOT position the unit directly in front of a hot air duct or
radiator. Do NOT place on soft carpet.

HOW YOUR HUMIDIFIER WORKS

Dry air is drawn into the
humidifier though the
back and moisturized
as it passes through the
evaporative wick. It is
then fanned out into the
room.
