1)  Unpack humidifier from carton.
2)  Remove all packaging materials.

Check to see that you have all of
the following items before 
discarding packaging:

Fill hose
Bacteria treatment
Caster kit
Evaporative wick
Two water bottles with caps
Air Care filter if unit is an Air 
Care model

Note: The wick and Air Care 
filters are packaged to prevent 
breakage in shipping. They must
be removed from the unit and 
correctly installed according to 
these instructions prior to 
operation to prevent damage to 
the unit.

3)  Remove the water bottles, 

chassis and evaporative wick 
from the base of the humidifier. 
Turn the base of the empty 

humidifier upside down. Insert the
caster stem into the large caster 
holes in the four corners of the 
humidifier bottom. The casters 
should fit snuggly and be 
inserted as far as possible. Do 
not force.

4)  Turn cabinet right side up.

5)  The wick has a mounting rib on 

the top edge which hooks over
a rib at the inside back of the 
cabinet. This allows the wick to 
hang in the water channel (see 
illustration). Hang wick into 
cabinet as shown.

tangs that engage into four 
keyhole slots that mount the Air 
Care filter onto the outside of 
the  back of the cabinet.

unit into the cabinet ensuring 
that chassis/power pak seats 
correctly onto the front and back
edges of the cabinet.

8)  Fill the bottles with cool, fresh, 

preferably unsoftened water. 
If you have only softened water 
available in your home, you can
use it, but you will notice a 
buildup of minerals on the wick 
much sooner. 
The bottles hold 2.6 gallons. each.
When filling the bottles,
