How Your Humidifier Works --

Your new Kenmore humidifier is designed to satisfy home humidity requirements through the principle of evaporation of

water in the air. Once the filter becomes saturated, air is Dry air

drawn in, passes through the filter and enters moisture is absorbed into the air. All the

evaporation occurs in the humidifier so louvers any residue remains in the filter. This in the

natural process of evaporation virtually housing eliminates white dust.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, fire or damage to humidifier, use only cleaners specifically

recommended for humidifiers. Never use flammable, combustible or poisonous materials to clean your

humidifier. To reduce the risk of scalds and

damage to humidifier, never put hot water in humidifier.

Humidified air is then released throuc

through

Step 1. Getting Your Humidifier Up and Running --

Once removed from its carton, remove all packing materials. Verify the filter is properly seated (See pg.10).

Step 2.

WARNING: For your own safety, do not use humidifier if any parts are damaged or missing.

Selecting A Location Place humidifier on a flat level surface,

take extra care in leveling when placing the unit on carpet. Position the humidifier where the most humidity is needed or

where the most air will be circulated throughout the house such as near a

cold air return.

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

area closest to the unit will have the highest humidity. If the unit is positioned

close to a window, condensation may form on the window pane. If this occurs the unit should be repositioned in another

location.

NOTE: Due to release of cool, moist air from humidifier, it is best to direct air away from thermostat and hot air registers and to position humidifier next

to an inside wall. Unit should not be placed where cold air from outside walls

or warm air from a hot air register blows directly on it.

Location and Electrical Hook-Up

Positioning The Unit The humidifier should be positioned with

the back (cord exit side) and left side, at least 2 inches away from the wall. Air needs to enter through all of the louvers in the housing assembly in order for the humidifier to operate at peak efficiency.

At least 2" from wall

NOTE: Be sure humidistat (located approximately 4 inches outside humidifier body on power cord) is free from obstruction and away from any hot air register.

Electrical Hook-Up

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

wall. With the humidifier in the desired location, route the electrical cord safely

so no one will trip or upset the humidifier. Plug in the electrical cord.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or shock hazard, humidifier should

be plugged into a 120VA.C. outlet. Do not use extension cords.

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this humidifier has a polarized plug (one

blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way.

If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse plug. If it still does not fit, contact

a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
