7) Rinse thoroughly with clean warm water to remove scale and any
remaining cleaning solution before disinfecting the cabinet to prevent
potential growth of microorganisms that may cause respiratory
problems.
Disinfecting the Water Reservoir:
8) Fill the water reservoir with a mixture containing one teaspoon of
chlorine bleach and one gallon of water. Let the solution stand 20
minutes, swishing every few minutes. Wet all surfaces.
9) Empty the water reservoir after 20 minutes. Rinse it with water until the
bleach smell is gone. Dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.
10) Replace the wick assembly into the guides provided in the cabinet.
11) Replace lift rod float assembly.
12) Replace the chassis unit on to the cabinet, ensuring that the chassis
seats correctly into the front and back grooved edges of the cabinet.
13) Fill the reservoir to the full level mark with fresh water and replace
outlet grille.
14) Plug the cord back into a polarized 120 volt AC outlet.
15) Adjust the humidifier controls to the desired setting.
Evaporative Wicks:
We recommend replacing the evaporative wick at least once a season,
more often in areas with hard water. When the wick appears excessively
clogged with mineral deposits, discard it and restore your humidifier's
efficiency with a new wick. Bemis by Essick Air evaporative wick number
1043 fits all 800 series console humidifiers. Call 1-800-547-3888 to order.
Only Bemis by Essick Air wicks guarantee the certified output of your
humidifier. Use of other wicks will void the warranty and may
reduce your humidifier's output.
