Essick Air Essick Evaporative Humidifier 697 500 - Manual (Page 4)

CONTROLS AND OPERATION
1. 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 FOUR inches away from any walls. Unrestricted
airflow into the unit will result in the best efficiency and
performance.
2. Access the control panel by opening the panel door (427 Model).
Depending on which model, you may have a choice of 2 speed or
variable fan speed allowing you to use the low setting for the
quietest operation or a high setting for maximum output.
NOTE: When excessive condensation exists, a lower speed setting
is recommended.
NOTE: Each model has an automatic humidistat. The humidistat will
turn the humidifier on when the relative humidity in your home is
below the humid- stat setting and will turn the humidifier off when the
relative humidity reaches the humidistat setting.
3. For initial operation, set the humidistat at its midpoint “comfort
zone” setting and adjust up or down from there to achieve the
desired humidity level. Turning the Humidity Control knob all the
way counterclockwise will turn the unit off regardless of the
relative humidity. This must be turned on again before the unit will work.
4. One bottle is designed to empty first. The refill light will indicate when the respective bottle is out of
water. When the unit is completely out of water, the motor will shut off.
OPTIONAL AIRCARE® FILTER
The optional Aircare® filter is a excellent means of cleaning the air while using your humidifier. The first
stage of the air filter is a high-efficiency, electrostatically charged filter media which traps dust, pollen, and
airborne pollutants. The second stage is an activated carbon media which absorbs odors from cooking, pets,
or tobacco smoke.
