Filling
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 only through the opening
provided (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.
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.
