Assembly, Controls & Operation - Essick H12 300 Owner's Care & Use Manual

ASSEMBLY, CONTROLS & OPERATION
1. Remove the two polyfoam inserts from the top of the humidifier.
2. Lift off the water bottle cover (left-hand side). Remove the water bottle, lift off the
chassis/power pack and then remove the humidifier cabinet from the carton.
3. Remove the evaporative wick, float assembly (black rod with white float), and all of the
remaining packaging materials from the cabinet. Check to see that you have all of the
following items removed from the boxes accessory kit and cabinet before discarding the
packaging:
♦ Filler hose
♦ Bacterial treatment sample
♦ Optional AirCare® Filter (purchased separately)
IMPORTANT FILLING INFORMATION
4. Your humidifier is equipped with one water bottle. When both the water bottle and reservoir
have emptied, the humidifier fan will automatically shut off, but will start again automatically
when the water bottle and reservoir are refilled.
5. When the bottle is being filled for the first time and the wick is still dry, it will take
approximately 20 minutes to drain the bottle into the reservoir. After the bottle has emptied, it
should be refilled again to obtain maximum running time.
6. When refilling the bottle and the wick is still wet, it will take approximately 12 minutes to refill
the reservoir. At this time, you should refill the bottle for maximum running time.
CASTERS
7. Turn the emptied cabinet upside down. Insert each caster stem into the four caster holes on
each corner of the humidifier bottom. The casters should fit snugly and be inserted until the
stem shoulder reaches the cabinet surface.
8. Turn the cabinet right side up.
EVAPORATIVE WICK
9. When placing the wick back into the humidifier, the rod and float assembly must also be
reattached. Insert the top of the float rod through the hole on the extended wick retainer
(attached to the top of the wick frame) (See figure A).
Holding the float in place, lower the wick and float assembly together into the cabinet. The
wick has a mounting rib on the top edge which hooks over a rib at the inside back of the
cabinet. NOTE: The float rod retainer must be extended prior to inserting the float rod. The
white float must be positioned into the pocket in the bottom of the cabinet. (See figure B)
