Filling
CAUTION: Disconnect power before filling, cleaning or servicing unit.
Keep grille dry at all times.
Note
: To avoid spillage, do not transport the unit when full of water. It is best to
separate the chassis from the base, and transport the two sections individually.
1)
Lift chassis (top section) off base. Position wick in the notch at the back of the
base.
2)
Before replacing the chassis, fill the base with unsoftened water. DO NOT
POUR WATER OVER THE ELECTRICAL CHASSIS. Fill the base (See
illustration) to the level marked "MAX FILL" on the center bottom of the base.
If water spills on the chassis, it must be allowed to dry completely before
turning on the humidifier. If you have only softened water available in your
home, you can use it, but you will notice a build up of minerals on the
evaporative wicks much sooner. Base capacity is 2.0 gallons. DO NOT
OVERFILL.
CAUTION: Do not spill water on fan motor. Electrical components must be
kept dry.
3)
We recommend using only EPA registered bacteriostat treatment such as
Essick Air Bacteriostat, Part Number 1970 whenever you refill the humidifier
base to eliminate bacterial growth. Add bacteriostat according to the
instructions on the bottle.
4)
Reposition the chassis on the base and the unit is ready for operation.
5)
Plug cord into wall receptacle.
