     Prefer to see a video?
     Watch the Mini-Console set-up at aircare.com/support.
     SCAN THE CODE TO THE RIGHT WITH YOUR PHONE’S CAMERA

2. Remove the fan assembly and set it aside.

3. Remove the tape from the wicks and the wick transition platform

4. Put your Mini-Console cabinet 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.

5. With the fan assembly set aside, fill the cabinet with water up to the MAX FILL LINE marked inside the cabinet. Only pour water directly into the cabinet and never through the fan assembly. Your Mini-Console holds 3 gallons of water.
   About water additives:

   • Do not use essential oils in your Mini-Console.
   • Do not use water softeners.
   • We recommend our Essick Air Bacteriostatic to help inhibit mold growth.

6. The AIRCARE 1050 Air Filter can be used with your 5D6700 for added air filtration. While your 1040 Super Wicks® are required for operation, the 1050 filter is optional. If you are using the 1050 filter, install it now. Slide it into the door on the back of the fan assembly, white side up, then close and latch the filter door

7. Wait 20 minutes for the wicks to become fully saturated, then proceed to step 8.

8. Plug in your unit and press the fan button .

9. Press the fan button again to select your desired fan speed. Your Mini-Console has four fan speeds that are displayed by F1 (the lowest speed) through F4 (the highest speed). F0 indicates your Mini-Console is in standby mode.

10. 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.
    That’s it! Your Mini-Console is ready to use.

ABOUT THE CODES

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 Mini-Console 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 wicks. If your wicks are still in good shape, simply clear the code by plugging your humidifier back in. If your wicks need replacing, follow these quick steps:

1. Remove the fan assembly from the cabinet.
2. Remove the wick platform. Do not discard the platform.
3. Replace the old wicks with new 1040 Super Wicks®.
4. Reassemble the unit.

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR MINI-CONSOLE

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

1. Let the unit run until it’s empty, then turn it off and unplug it.
2. Remove the fan assembly, wick platform (do not throw this away), and the wicks. Throw your wicks away if it is time to replace them. Otherwise, put them in a sink while you finish cleaning your Mini-Console.
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. Wipe everything dry and replace the wick, if needed. Then reassemble.

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

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• 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?

  • 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 wicks are old, replace it with a new one.

• How often should I replace my wicks?
  Your water’s mineral content dictates how often your wicks need replacing. Harder water means more frequent changes. Using our Bacteriostatic (part

  1970) can help keep your unit cleaner and lengthen the life of your wicks.

  Always change your wicks at the beginning of every season.

• Can I order replacement parts?
  Yes! Your Mini-Console’s parts and their part numbers are listed on page 2.
