2 in 1 units which have been certified will have the AHAM seal, listing the gallons per day water output as well as the CADR (Clean Air
Delivery Ratings) on the package. The CADR rating is the single most important things to know about an air purifier. CADR is the
amount of clean air (in cubic feet) the machine, with its air filter in place, will deliver into a room. It measures the net effect of the filter
material and the air flow of the unit.
No other measurement tells you how well a unit works in your home. The higher the CADR rating on a specific particulate matter, the
more efficient the unit is at removing that particulate. It is also good to know exactly what area or room size your unit will clean. Air
Purifiers may be used in any room in the house. Typically, they are used in the room where people spend the most time- the bedroom
and the family room.
The chart below will indicate the time required to clean the air in various sized rooms in your home. Remember, every time a door or window
is opened, more particulates are introduced, which will increase the cleaning time.

times.
OPERATION & CONTROLS –
1)
The unit should be placed at least FOUR inches away from any walls and away from
heat registers. Do not place on soft carpet. Unrestricted airflow into the unit will result in the
best efficiency and performance. Set desired levels and speed. See illustration.
2)
This unit has an automatic humidistat. This will turn the humidifier on when the
relative humidity in your home is below the humidistat setting and will turn the humidifier off
when the relative humidity reaches the humidistat setting. For initial operation, set the
humidistat at its midpoint and adjust up or down from there to achieve the desired humidity
level.
NOTE: DP3 Series ONLY - During summer months, when no humidity is needed, the product
may be operated only as an air purifier, by turning the humidistat as far as it will go in the
clockwise direction to its lock-on position. Having the humidistat knob in the lock-on position
will prevent the product from turning off if the humidity is high. The air purifier is designed to
operate with BOTH wicks AND air filter in place, with or without water. Do not operate the unit
in the lock-on position during the humidifying season. Essick Air will not be liable for water
damage to your home due to excess humidity.
