Remove everything from the cabinet. Do not throw away the small Styrofoam cube – this is your float. Turn the cabinet over and insert the casters snugly into the bottom. Just use your hands! Using tools can crack the cabinet.

Turn the cabinet upright. Locate the PLACE WICK HERE label inside your Space Saver cabinet. Remove the tape from your wick frame and place the wick and wick frame in the cabinet with the side labeled FRONT facing the front, curved side of the unit

Place the float (with the float rod as pictured) in the square area in the bottom of the cabinet. Secure the rod to the humidifier with the float retainer, as shown.

Put the fan assembly on the base. Make sure the top of the float rod makes a solid connection with the fan switch inside the fan assembly. The fan switch looks like a small, silver diving board.

Put your Space Saver in the most centrally-located room of your home. It should be on a level surface against an interior wall. Make sure it’s at least two inches from the wall so the humidistat (on the cord) can accurately read your humidity

More about positioning:

To maximize humidity circulation, put your unit near a cold air return.

• If you prefer to put your unit in the room where humidity is most needed, you can! But the humidity won’t circulate as well with this method.
• Don’t put your humidifier under a window, as condensation may occur.
• Put the unit on the bottom floor of a multi-story home.

To fill your digital Space Saver, remove the louver from the front grille. Fill the cabinet with water up to the FILL HERE line marked inside the cabinet. Only pour water through the front grille and never through the fan. Your Space Saver holds 6 gallons of water. Proceed to step 8 on the next page.

About water additives:

• Do not use essential oils in your Space Saver.
• Do not use water softeners.
• We recommend our Essick Air Bacteriostat to help inhibit mold growth

To fill your analog Space Saver, fill the cabinet with water up to the FILL HERE line marked inside the cabinet. Only pour water through the lower front grille and never through the fan. Your Space Saver holds 6 gallons of water.

About water additives:

• Do not use essential oils in your Space Saver.
• Do not use water softeners.
• We recommend our Essick Air Bacteriostat to help inhibit mold growth.

Wait 20 minutes for the wick to become fully saturated, then proceed to step 9.

STARTING YOUR DIGITAL SPACE SAVER 831000

Plug in your unit and press the power button power-off .

Set your desired fan speed by pressing the fan button . Your Space Saver has three fan speeds that are displayed by F1 (the lowest speed) through F3 (the highest speed).

Note: On higher speeds, the Space Saver puts out a tremendous amount of humidity, so it’s louder on these levels. Most of our customers liken it to the sound of a box fan. Rest assured there is nothing wrong with your unit, it’s just working very hard to put out much-needed humidity.

Press the humidity control button to set your humidity level from 25% to 65%. The humidistat on your cord will read your home’s humidity and turn your fan off when the set level is reached. When set to 65%, your unit will run continuously.

STARTING YOUR ANALOG SPACE SAVER 836000HB

Plug in your unit and press the power knob.

Set your desired fan speed by turning the power knob. Your Space Saver has three fan speeds that are displayed by F1 (the lowest speed) through F3 (the highest speed).

Note: On higher speeds, the Space Saver puts out a tremendous amount of humidity, so it’s louder on these levels. Most of our customers liken it to the sound of a box fan. Rest assured there is nothing wrong with your unit, it’s just working very hard to put out much-needed humidity.

Turn the humidity control knob to set your humidity level from 25% to 65%. The humidistat on your cord will read your home’s humidity and turn your fan off when the set level is reached. When set to 65%, your unit will run continuously.

That’s it! Your Space Saver is ready to use.

ABOUT THE CODES

F – The F code means your unit is empty and needs to be FILLED with water.

CL – Your CONTROLS ARE LOCKED on the current setting. Activate the control lock by holding the power button for five seconds, until CL appears. Your Space Saver will lock on the current fan and humidity settings. Release the lock by pressing the power button again for five seconds until the display flashes CL three times, letting you know the lock is off.

CF – The CF code triggers after 720 hours of use and means it’s time to CHECK YOUR FILTER (wick). Unplug your unit and check your wick. If your wick is still in good shape, simply clear the code by plugging your humidifier back in. If your wick needs replacing, follow these quick steps:

1. Remove the wick from the frame by gently squeezing the tabs around the wick frame. Do not discard your frame.
2. Insert a new 1043 Super Wick® in the frame and snap the frame shut.
3. Put the wick and frame back into the unit with the FRONT label facing the front of the unit.

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR SPACE SAVER

Regular cleaning is important for preventing mold, mildew, and other bacterial growth in your humidifier. It also keeps your Space Saver working its best.

1. Let the unit run until it’s empty, then turn it off and unplug it.
2. Remove everything from the cabinet. Throw your wick away if it is time to replace it. Otherwise, remove it from the wick frame (keep your frame) and put the wick in a sink while you finish cleaning your Space Saver.
3. Pour out any remaining water from the cabinet.
4. Fill the cabinet half-full with water and add 1 cup of white vinegar. Let sit for 20 minutes. To disinfect, replace the vinegar with 1 teaspoon of bleach. Do not mix vinegar and bleach.
5. After 20 minutes, empty the cabinet.
6. Dampen a sponge with white vinegar, wipe down the cabinet and wick platform, then rinse everything thoroughly. To disinfect, replace the vinegar with bleach.
7. Rinse the float with clean water only.
8. Wipe everything dry and replace the wick, if needed. Then reassemble

When storing your Space Saver, discard the used wick (keep your wick frame) and disinfect the unit using the directions above. Dry the unit thoroughly, and store in a temperature-regulated area. Do not install a new wick until you are ready to use your humidifier again.

FAQ

Where is my serial number?

Your serial number is on the sticker on the back of your fan assembly. You can write it here for future reference:

Why isn’t my unit running?

• Make sure your wick is installed correctly. (SEE STEP 3)
• Make sure the top of the float rod is makings a solid connection with the power switch inside the fan assembly. This looks like a small, silver diving board. (SEE STEP 5)
• Your unit has reached your set humidity level.

The display is flashing “20,” what does this mean?

Your humidity level is below 20%. Try increasing your fan speed and output level

The display is flashing“–,” what does this mean?

Your humidity level is over 90%. Try lowering your fan speed and output level

Why isn’t my humidity increasing?

• It can take 2-3 days for your new humidifier to bring your humidity up, especially if it is very dry in your home.
• If your wick is old, replace it with a new one.

How often should I replace my wick?

Your water’s mineral content dictates how often your wick needs replacing. Harder water means more frequent changes. Using our Bacteriostat (part #1970) can help keep your unit cleaner and lengthen the life of your wick. Always change your wick at the beginning of every season.

Can I order replacement parts?

Yes! Your Space Saver’s parts and their part numbers are listed on page 2 or 3.
