Summer Storage - Essick 826 800 Care And Use Manual

Replacing the Wick:
16) Remove the old wick from the frame by
carefully disengaging the fastening
hooks from the rear frame piece (see
illustration). Discard old wick. The new
wick is inserted into the front frame.
The wick will work correctly regardless
of the direction it faces in the frame
(there is no front, back, top, or bottom).
Once the wick is in the frame,
re-engage the frame hooks, to complete
assembly.
17) The frame then fits between the guide
ribs on both sides of the humidifier. (The wick and frame will cover the
vast majority of the width of the humidifier). The portion of the wick
frame which extends up farther than the rest of the frame is positioned
towards the front of the humidifier. (The wick will therefore be
positioned further towards the rear of the humidifier).

Summer Storage:

18) Clean unit as outlined above.
19) Discard the used wick.
20) Allow unit to dry thoroughly before storage. Do not store with water
inside the unit.
21) Do not store the unit in an attic or other high-temperature area.
22) Clean humidifier and install new Bemis by Essick Air evaporative wick
before the next season begins. Only Bemis by Essick Air evaporative
wicks guarantee the rated output of your humidifier. A convenient
order form for wicks and accessories is found in the back of this manual.
