Humidifier Operation
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 humidifier, the
filter begins to soak up the water and will
become saturated in approximately 30
minutes. Air drawn in through the open-
ings in the lower housing passes through
the filter by means of a circulation fan. As
air passes through the filter, 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.
This natural process of evaporation helps
eliminate the chance of white dust in the
humidified output air.
CAUTION: Use only 42-14900 EPA
Registered Baeteriostat available
from SEARS Retait store. Under no
circumstances should you use water
treatment products designed for
Rote beretor Ultrasonic humidifiers.
Humidified air is
then released

CAUTmON: To reduce the risk of
injury_ fire or damage to humidifier,
use only cleaners specifically recom-
mended for humidifiers. Never use
flammable, combustible or poisonous
materials to s_ean your humidifier. To
reduce the risk of saamds and damage
to humidifier, never put hot water in
humidifier.

Location instrucdons --
WARNING: For your own safety, do
not use humidifier if any parts are
damaged or miseing,
Step 1
Place humidifier on a fiat 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.
Special attention should be given to
unit's level if the humidifier is located on
carpeting.
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 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.
The humidifier should be positioned with
Step 2
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
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.

or chock hazard, humidifier shoutd

out_et, Do not use extension eorde.
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 instal! the proper
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
