Introduction
Your Bemis by Essick Air 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, and no white dust just clean and invisible moist air. As the wick traps accumulated 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 efficiency.
CAUTION- We recommend Bemis by Essick Air Bacteria Treatment whenever you refill the water bottles to eliminate bacteria growth. Follow the directions to determine the proper amount to be added to the 2.6 gallon water bottles.
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.
Your humidifier is equipped with two water bottles. When a bottle has emptied, the "refill bottle" message will light. When both bottles have emptied, the humidifier fan will automatically shut off, but will start again automatically when the water bottles are refilled.
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.

Locate your humidifier on an inside wall, near an electrical outlet. The humidifier should be at least 4" away from the wall for best results. Do not position the unit directly in front of a hot air duct or radiator.
