manual abstract
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. 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 3D6 humidifier uses two (2) Essick Air wick # 1040. Only the Essick Air evaporative wick guarantees the certified output of your humidifier. Use of wicks other than Essick Air brand will 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. We suggest placing the unit on a table or on a bookshelf. ASSEMBLY, CONTROLS & OPERATION ASSEMBLY 1) Unpack humidifier from carton and remove all packaging material, wicks, etc. from box. REMOVE THE PLASTIC WRAP AROUND WICK. Remove foam from bottles. 2) Place the humidifier with evaporative wicks at the location where the product will be operated at least 4 inches from the wall. Fill bottles. Replace caps and tighten securely. Using both hands, carry each bottle to the base. NOTE: If only softened water is available, it can be used; however you will notice a build up of minerals on the evaporative wick much sooner. Do not spill water on fan motor. Electrical components must be kept dry. 2 3 WATER CAP Figure B: Water Bottle Filling 3) Make sure wicks are resting all the way into the water channel as indicated by the illustrations. 4) Return each bottle to its upright position using the handle on the top of the bottle. Set each bottle in its recessed area, the top of the bottle flush with the top of the humidifier. When positioned properly, the valve will open and water will flow into the water channel. 5) We recommend using Essick Air Bacteriostat Treatment, P/N 1970 whenever you refill the humidifier reservoir to eliminate bacterial growth. Add bacteriostat according to the instructions on the bottle. 6) Plug cord into wall receptacle and turn humidifier on. **When excessive condensation exists, a lower speed setting is recommended. CAUTION: Disconnect power before filling, cleaning or servicing unit. Keep grille dry at all times. OPERATION & CONTROLS The humidifier should be placed at least FOUR inches away from any walls and away from heat registers. Do not place on soft carpet. Unrestricted airflow into the unit will result in the best efficiency and performance.

Figure C: Control Panel 1) For initial operation, plug the unit in (the display will show 00). Press the speed button once. The fan speeds cycle from high to low. The unit will initialize and begin reading the room humidity. 2) The built-in hygrometer senses the current room humidity and displays the percentage on the right bar graph. 3) To set the desired humidity, press the HUMIDITY button and observe the left bar graph climb with each pressing. Each successive push increases the humidity in 10% increments. Once it reaches the maximum, it cycles back to the beginning. 4) Press the SPEED button to adjust the fan setting. Use low setting (01) for the quietest operation and the high (04) for maximum output. 5) TO STOP the unit, press the SPEED button for two seconds NOTE: If excessive condensation occurs, reduce fan to a lower speed setting. Auto Humidistat Once the unit is on, the automatic humidistat function allows you to set the desired humidity level and the fan speed (01 through 04), and the unit will operate until the desired humidity level is reached. When reached, the fan will turn off. When the humidity level drops below the set humidity, the fan will turn on automatically. CARE AND MAINTENANCE Cleaning your humidifier regularly helps eliminate odors and bacterial and fungal growth. Ordinary household bleach is a good disinfectant and can be used to wipe out the humidifier base and bottle/reservoir after cleaning. We recommend cleaning your humidifier at least once a week to maintain optimum environmental conditions from your humidifier. We also recommend using Essick Air Bacteriostat Treatment each time you refill your humidifier to eliminate bacterial growth. Add bacteriostat according to the instructions on the bottle.
