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. After water is added to the bottle, the

filters 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 and through the filters by means of circulation fans. 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. AII 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 change of white dust in the humidified output air.

CAUTION: Use only 32-14900 EPA Registered Bacteriostat available

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

treatment products designed for Rote belt or Ultrasonic humidifiers.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of iniury, 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.

Assembly

Carefully remove the humidifier and all other contents from the carton.

There is a black strip that contains six pads for the bottom of the humidifier.

Remove each pad and place one on each of the six legs on the bottom of the base as shown, by the solid dots.

Once installed return the humidifier to it's originaI state and proceed to "Location

instructions".

Location Instructions

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

Step 1 : Place humidifier on a flat level surface in

an area of your house where humidity is needed most, or in an area 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 wilI 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 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) and left side, at least 2 inches away from the wall. Air needs to enter through alI of the louvers in the housing assembly in order for the humidifier to operate at peak efficiency.

At least 2 inches from wall

Electrical Hook-Up ,

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

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

so no one wilI 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 120V A.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.
