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 in the wick 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 one 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 using Bemis by Essick Air Bacteria Treatment or a similar strength product, whenever you refill the water reservoir to eliminate bacteria growth. Follow the directions to determine the proper amount to be added to the 6 gallon water reservoir. The evaporative 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 humid- ifier is provided with a 6 gallon water reservoir. The unit is designed to have an output of 8 gallons per 24 hours. When the reservoir has emp- tied, the refill light will illuminate. The humidifier fan will automatically shut off. For your safety, unplug humidifier every time it is refilled. If any
water spills on the motor chassis, wipe dry before45 plugging in after filling
Dry air is drawn into the humidifier through the top and moisturized as it passes through the wick. Then it is
fanned out into the room. | 2 |
