IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

READ BEFORE USING YOUR HUMIDIFIER

1.This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized 120-volt AC, 15 amp outlet, and only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. If an extension cord must be used, it should also accept the wide blade plug and meet this electrical rating.

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.This humidifier is ETL listed with Essick Air brand evaporative wicks in place.

6.It is very important that cleaning solutions such as bleach, anti-bacteria treatment or descaler, which could be used to clean the cabinet, are not sprayed or applied to the chassis assembly. These solutions can cause serious electrical malfunction of the humidifier.

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 no messy mist or spray and no white dust, 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 H12 Series humidifiers use Essick Air wick #1045. 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 and output 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.

HOW YOUR HUMIDIFIER WORKS

Dry air is drawn into the humidifier though the back and moisturized as it passes through the evaporative wick. It is then fanned out into the room.

H12 Series specifications

The Essick Air H12 Series stands out in the world of whole house humidifiers, offering advanced technology and design to improve indoor air quality. This series is particularly popular among homeowners seeking efficient and effective solutions to combat dry air, which can lead to various health issues and discomfort.

One of the main features of the H12 Series is its impressive humidification capacity. With the ability to humidify larger areas efficiently, this series is ideal for medium to large homes. The H12 delivers consistent humidity levels, enhancing comfort during the dry winter months or in arid climates. Its large tank capacity ensures extended operation before needing a refill, allowing for continuous moisture infusion.

Another notable characteristic is the innovative auto-humidistat. This technology automatically measures the ambient humidity levels and adjusts the operation of the humidifier accordingly. By maintaining optimal humidity levels, the H12 Series aims to prevent the common problems associated with overly dry air, such as dry skin, irritated sinuses, and static electricity buildup.

Moreover, the H12 Series features a user-friendly digital control panel that displays current humidity levels and allows for easy adjustments of settings. The digital interface enhances the overall user experience, making it easy for homeowners to monitor and manage their indoor air quality.

The H12 Series also incorporates evaporative technology, which effectively disperses moisture into the air without oversaturation. This method uses a fan to draw air through a wet wick, providing a natural and efficient way to increase humidity. This process not only conserves water but also minimizes energy consumption, making it an environmentally friendly choice.

Another key aspect of the H12 Series is its quiet operation. Unlike some humidifiers that disrupt the tranquility of a home, the H12 runs quietly, allowing for a peaceful environment without intrusive noise. This feature makes it suitable for bedrooms, nurseries, or home offices where concentration and relaxation are essential.

In terms of maintenance, the H12 Series is designed for convenience. The easy-access tank and filter make cleaning and upkeep straightforward, ensuring that the unit remains efficient and functional over time. Overall, the Essick Air H12 Series combines efficiency, ease of use, and advanced technology, making it an exceptional choice for anyone looking to improve indoor humidity levels and enhance their home’s comfort.
