Important - Aircare 696 Série Guide D'utilisation Et D'entretien

NOTE: On initial fill up, it will take approximately 20 minutes for the reservoir to fill
because the dry wick has to absorb water. Subsequent fillings will take approximately
12 minutes, since the wick is already saturated.
CAUTION: Use only EPA Registered Bacteriostat. Under no circumstances should
you use Water Treatment products intended for Rotobelt or Ultrasonic
humidifiers.
NOTE: We recommend using AIRCARE
P/N 1970 when you refill the water reservoir to eliminate bacterial growth. Add
bacteriostat according to the instructions on the bottle.
3. After the filling process is complete, insert the water bottles into the humidifier,
placing them with the valve cap end down, so that the groove in the water bottle
faces the inside. Note the orange label on the bottle for correct orientation.
ABOUT HUMIDITY
Where you set your desired humidity levels depends on your personal comfort
level, the outside temperature and the inside temperature.
NOTE: Recent CDC tests show that only 14% of flu virus particles could infect
people after 15 minutes at levels of 43% humidity.
You may wish to purchase a hygrometer to measure the humidity level in your
home. The following is a chart of recommended humidity settings.
IMPORTANT: Water
damage may result if
condensation starts to form
on windows or walls.
Humidity SET point should
be lowered until
condensation no longer
forms. We recommend
room humidity levels do not
exceed 50%.
Model 1990 digital hygrometer is available for purchase by calling 1-800-547-3888.
NOTE: External hygrometer readings and humidistat readings may differ.
Humidity levels can vary significantly even in one room.
