Humidifier Operations

Your new Sears humidifier is designed to
satisfy home humidity requirements

through the principle of evaporation of
water into the air.

After water is added to the bottles, the fil-
ters begin to soak up the water and

become totally saturated in approxi-
mately 30 minutes. Air is drawn in from

the rear of the humidifier, then passes
through the filters by means of two circu-

lation fans. As air passes through the fil-

ters, moisture is absorbed into the air and
then released through the top of the

humidifier. This moist air is released in the

form of vapor. No water droplets will enter
the home. All evaporation into the air

takes place in the humidifier, which

means that the residue left by evaporating

water is not passed into the home, but

remains in the filter.

CAUTION: Use only 42-14900 EPA

Registered Bacteriostat available

from SEARS Retail store. Under no
circumstances should you use water

treatment products designed for
Roto belt or Ultrasonic humidifiers.

CAUTION: .Keep your humidifier
clean. While humidifiers do not cause

colds, some studies suggest that
dirty humidifiers can cause cold-like

symptoms in some people. To reduce
the risk of this, we recommend you
clean your humidifier weekly with

Humidifier Cleaner 42-14713 and use
Bacteriostat 42-14900. These are

available at your local Sears store.

Assembly

Your new Sears Kenmore humidifier is

completely assembled for you to use.
Remove the packaging material from
inside your humidifier and follow the

Location Instructions

WARNING: For your own safety, do

not use humidifier if any parts are
damaged or missing.

Step I

Place humidifier on a fiat level _urface in
area of house where most humidity is

needed, or one which would likely result in
moist air being circulated throughout the

house such as near a cold air return.
P.lacing the unit level is very important if

the humidifier is located on carpeting.

NOTE: The 13 gallon humidifier contains

water bottles, the weight of the bottles in
the front of the cabinet may sink the cast-

ers deeper in the carpet. This will keep
the wate_evel forward in the cabinet. The

water level float (located at the rear of the

instructions of this owner's manual for
proper usage. The packaging material is

located under the fan assembly. Remove
the packaging material and discard.

cabinet) may not sense the water and the

fill light will be on and the unit will not

I

energize, if this happens, the unit will
need to be leveled in order for the humidi-

fier to be energized.

NOTE: It may be necessary to purchase
leveling coasters from your local hardware
store. The coasters should be positioned

under the front two casters of the humidifier.

Moist air (humidity) produced will disperse
into the whole house, but area closest to

unit will have the highest humidity. If the
unit is positioned close to a window, con-

densation may form on the window pane.
If this is not appropriate the unit should be

repositioned in another location.

Location Instructions (continued)

NOTE: Due to release of cool, moist air
from humidifier, it is best to direct air away

from home thermostat and hot air regis-
ters. It is best to position humidifier next to

an inside wall. Hot air registers and cold
air from outside walls can affect the effi-

ciencies of the controls. Unit should not
be placed where warm air from a hot air

register blows directly on unit.

Step 2
The humidifier should be positioned with

the back (cord exit side), at least 2 inches
away from the wall. Air needs to enter

through louvers in the rear panel in order
for the humidifier to operate at peak effi-

ciency.

Electrical Hook-Up

Locate nearest 120V A.C. wall socket in
the location desired, preferably on inside
wall. Plug in the electrical cord.

At Least

2" From Wall
