READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
READ BEFORE USING YOUR HUMIDIFIER
1) This is an electrical appliance and requires attention when in use. The length of cord used on this appliance was selected to
reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary an approved extension
cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the humidifier. Care
must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or accidentally tripped over.
2) Do not place the cord under rugs, near loose drapes, in traffic areas, nor near heat sources or combustible materials.
3) Do not use the humidifier if the cord is damaged.
4) Always unplug the power cord before filling, cleaning, servicing, or when the unit is not in use.
5) Regular cleaning is recommended. Refer to the CARE & MAINTENANCE section in the manual.
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 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
ED11 Series humidifiers use Essick Air wick # 1041. 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
output of your humidifier.
Dry air is drawn into the humidifier through the back and moisturized as it passes through
the evaporative wick. It is then fanned out into the room.
1) Chassis/Power Pack (motor and fan assembly)
2) Evaporative
wick
3) Water reservoir
4) Dry room air intake
5) Moist air output
CAUTION: Do NOT position the unit directly in front of a hot air duct or radiator. Do NOT place on soft carpet.
ASSEMBLY, CONTROLS & OPERATION
1) Remove the two polyfoam inserts from the top of the humidifier.
2) Lift off the chassis/power pack and then remove the humidifier tank/cabinet from the carton.
3) Remove the evaporative wick and all of the remaining packaging materials from the cabinet. Check to see that you have all of
the following items removed from the boxes accessory kit and cabinet before discarding the packaging:
o Caster kit
o Bacteriostat treatment sample
o Float (Styrofoam)/Float rod
o Retainer (key for float rod)
CASTERS
4) Turn the emptied cabinet upside down. Insert each caster stem into
the four
caster holes on each corner of the humidifier bottom. The casters should fit snugly and
be inserted until the stem shoulder reaches the cabinet surface. Do not force. Turn the
cabinet right side up.
EVAPORATIVE WICK
5) When placing the wick back into the humidifier, the rod and float assembly must be in place. Insert the top of the float rod through
the hole on the extended wick retainer (attached to the cabinet). (A). NOTE: The float rod retainer must be extended prior to inserting
the float rod. The white float must be positioned into the pocket in the bottom of the cabinet. When placed, the rod will slide into the
aligned hole on the bottom of the chassis.
CHASSIS/POWER PACK
6) Place the chassis/power pack unit into the cabinet, so it fits without tipping or rocking, insuring the float rod fits in the pocket of the
chassis.
NOTE: Chassis must be in place before filling.
