Controls And Operation - Essick MA0800 Owner's Care & Use Manual

After the humidifier is positioned where
it will be operating you are ready to fill the
humidifier. The bottle lifts straight up and
away from the base. Take care not to
bump or damage fill valve assembly on
the bottom of the bottle.
Invert the bottle. Press the valve stem
button into the bottle and turn clockwise
to lock in open position. Place bottle
under the faucet. Fill the bottle, being
careful not to allow any debris to get in
the bottle. Debris may interfere with the
valve seating. Once the bottle is full,
press the valve stem button and turn
counter clockwise to release and close.
CAUTION: Use only EPA Registered
Bacteriostat. Under no circumstances
should you use water treatment
products designed for Roto belt or
Ultrasonic humidifiers.
We recommend using only EPA
registered bacteriostat treatment such
as Essick Air Bacteriostat, Part Number
1970 whenever you refill the humidifier
base to eliminate bacterial growth. Add
bacteriostat according to the instructions
on the bottle.
Place the water bottle back into the
humidifier base. When positioned
properly, the plunger will open and the
water will flow into the base. The base
will hold the entire contents of the water
bottle. Once the bottle is empty, remove it
and repeat the filling process. The
humidifier is now filled to capacity. To
benefit from less frequent filling let the
humidifier exhaust both the water from
the bottle and the base before filling.

Controls and Operation

NOTE: The humidifier should be placed at least FOUR inches away from any walls
and away from heat registers. Do not place on soft carpet. Unrestricted airflow
into the unit will result in the best efficiency and performance.
Where you set your desired humidity levels depends on your personal comfort
level, outside temperature and inside temperature. A starting set point of 30%
to 40% ROOM humidity is recommended but there may be conditions that require
a different setting.
NOTE: If excessive condensation occurs, reduce fan to a lower speed setting.
