Humidifier Operations

Your new Sears humidifier is designed to satisfy home humidity requirements

through the principle of evaporation of water in the air.

After water is added to the bottle, the ill- ters begin to soak up the water and become totally saturated in approximately

30 minutes. Air drawn in from the rear of the humidifier passes through the filters

by means of a circulation fan. As air passes through the filters, moisture is

absorbed into the air and then 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: To reduce the risk of injury, fire or damage to humidifier,

use only cleaners specifically recom- mended for humidifiers. Never use

flammable, combustible or poiso- nous materials to clean your humidi-

fier. To reduce the risk of scalds and damage to humidifier, never put hot

water in humidifier.

Location Instructions

WARNING: For your own safety, do I not use humidifier if any parts are

damaged or m ss ng.

Step 1

Place humidifier on a flat level surface in an 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.

Placing the unit level is very important if

the humidifier is located on carpeting.

Moist air (humidity) produced will dis- perse into the whole house, but 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 is not appropriate 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 home thermostat and hot air registers. It is best to position humidifier

next to an inside wall. Hot air registers and cold air from outside walls can affect

the efficiencies 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 inch- es away from the wall. Air needs to enter

through the louvers in the rear of the cab-

inet in order for the humidifier to operate

at peak efficiency.

At Least 2" From Wall

Electrical Hook-Up

Locate nearest 120V A.C. wall socket in

the location desired, preferably on inside wall. Plug in the electrical cord.

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

be plugged into a 120V A.C. outlet.

Do not use extens on 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.
