Humidifier Operation __

Your new Sears humidifier is designed to Humidified air is satisfy home humidity requirements then reteased

through the principle of evaporation of through the top water in the air.

After water is added to the humidifier, the filter begins to soak up the water and will Dry air

become saturated in approximately 30 enters minutes. Air drawn in through the open- through the

ings in the lower housing passes through _ouvers in the filter by means of a circulation fan. the housing 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 evapora- tion into the air takes place in the humidi- fier, 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.

CAUTmON: Use onJy 42°14900 EPA Registered Bacteriostat availabJe

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

treatment products designed for

Roto belt or Ultrasonic humidifiers.

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 poiso- nous materials to cJean your humidi-

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

water in humidifier.

of maneuverability. Remove the casters from the top of the packing materia! inside the carton. The casters press into

the bottom of the base at the locations shown. To make assembly easier remove the water bottle, housing assembly and filter and flip the base upside to install. See steps 2-4 of "Replacement and Care of Filters" section on page 12 for proce- dure. Take care not to damage the floats

Location Instructions --

iWARNING: For your own safety, do

not use humidifier if any parts are

_damaged or mss 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. Special attention should be given to unit's

level if the humidifier is located on car- peting. Moist air (humidity) produced will

disperse into the whole house, but the area closest to the unit will have the high° est humidity. If the unit is positioned close

to a window, condensation may form on the window pane. If this is not appropri-

ate the unit should be repositioned in another location.

NOTE: Due to release of coo!, 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

l 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.

Note: Be sure humidistat located approximately 4 inches outside humidi-

fier body on power cord is free from obstruction and away from any hot air register.
