INTRODUCTION
Your new humidifier adds invisible moisture to your home by moving dry air
through a saturated wick. As air moves through the wick, the water evaporates
into the air, leaving behind any white dust, minerals, or dissolved and suspended
solids in the wick. Because the water is evaporated, there is no messy mist or
spray, just clean and invisible moist air.
As the evaporative wick traps accumulated minerals from the water, its ability to
absorb and evaporate water decreases. We recommend changing the wick at the
beginning of every season and after every 30 to 60 days of operation to maintain
optimum performance. In hard water areas, more frequent replacement may be
necessary to maintain your humidifier’s efficiency.
Use only AIRCARE
®
or Essick Air
®
brand replacement wicks and additives. To
order parts, wicks and other products call 1-800-547-3888. The 696 400HB(CN)
humidifier uses wick part number 1041(CN). Only the AIRCARE
®
or Essick Air
®
evaporative wick guarantees the certified output of your humidifier. Use of other
brands of wicks voids the certification of output.

CAUTIONS ON ADDITIVES TO WATER:
• To maintain the wick’s integrity and warranty, never add anything to the water
except Essick Air brand bacteriostat for evaporative humidifiers. If you only have
softened water available in your home, you can use it, but mineral buildup will
occur more quickly. You can use distilled or purified water to extend the life of
the wick.
All evaporation occurs in
the humi
difier so any
residue remains in
the wick.
This
natural process of
evaporation creates no
white dust
like some other
humidifiers.
Dry air is drawn into the
humidifier though the back
and moisturized as it passes
through the evaporative wick.
It is then
released into the
room
.
* Output based on 8’ ceiling.
Coverage may vary due to
