Assembly
CASTERS
1. Lift chassis off of base and set aside.
2. Remove float and wick/wick retainer from base. Turn the empty base upside
down. Insert each caster stem into a caster hole on each corner of the humidifier
bottom. The casters should fit snugly and be inserted until the stem shoulder
reaches the cabinet surface.
3. Turn the base right side up.
EVAPORATIVE WICK
4. Ensure the 1043 Superwick is
installed in the two-part wick
retainer base in the base of the
humidifier
5. Position the chassis over the base
frame and press it onto the base
firmly until it is in place.
6. Ensure the chassis is placed on the
base with the float facing forward.
FILLING INFORMATION
Open the fill door on the front of the unit. Insert funnel into open fill door. Using a
pitcher, carefully pour water to the MAX FILL level on the wick frame.

Controls and Operation

This unit has a digital control panel
that allows you to adjust fan speed
and humidity level, as well as view
information on the status of the unit.
The display will also indicate if the
optional Remote Control (EP9R
500 only) is in use at the time.
CAUTION: If a plant is placed on the pedestal, ensure no water is poured onto the
control panel when watering the plant. If water enters the electronic control panel,
damage may result. If controls get wet, let them dry completely and have unit
checked by authorized service personnel before plugging in.
NOTE: On initial fill up, it will take approximately 20
minutes for the unit to become ready for operation,
since the wick must become saturated. Subsequent
fillings will take approximately 12 minutes, since the
wick is already saturated.
After the filling process is complete, and the wick is
saturated, the unit is ready for use.
7. Plug cord into wall receptacle. Your humidifier is
now ready for use. The humidifier should not be
near any heat registers. Place the unit at least
TWO inches away from any walls or curtains.
Unrestricted airflow into the unit will result in the
best efficiency and performance.
