User manual BEMIS 426 700

[. . . ] Any water spilled on chassis must be dried before energizing humidifier. 6) This humidifier is UL listed with Bemis by Essick Air brand evaporative wicks in place. To maintain your UL rating, see your service center for all repairs. 7) It is very important that cleaning solutions such as bleach, anti-bacteria treatment or descaler, which could be used to clean the cabinet, are not sprayed or applied to the chassis assembly. [. . . ] Because the water is evaporated, there is no messy mist or spray and no white dust, 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. In hard water areas, more frequent replacement may be necessary to maintain your humidifier's efficiency. Use only Bemis by Essick Air brand replacement wicks and chemicals. To order parts, wicks and chemicals call 1-800-547-3888. The 500 Series humidifiers use Bemis by Essick Air wick #1040. Only the Bemis by Essick Air evaporative wick guarantees the certified output of your humidifier. Use of wicks other than Bemis by Essick Air brand will void your warranty as well as the certification of output and may reduce the efficiency and output of your humidifier.
