Your new Sears humidifier is designed to satisfy home
humidity requirements through the principle of evapora-
tion of water into the air.
After water is added to the tank, the filters begin to soak
up the water and become totally saturated in approxi-
mately 30 minutes. Air drawn in from the rear and top of
the humidifier then passes through the filters by means of
a circulation fan. As air passes through the filter, moisture
is absorbed into the air and then released through the top
of humidifier. (See Fig. 2) This moist air is 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 32-14900 EPA Registered Bac-
teriostat available from SEARS Retail store. Use of
other water treatment products may damage the fil-
ters or may pose health hazards,
Under no circumstances should you use water
treatment products designed for Roto belt or Ultra-
sonic humidifiers.

Humidifier Operations (continued)
CAUTION: Keep your humidifier clean. While
humidifiers do not cause colds, some studies sug-
gest that dirty humidifiers can cause cold like
symptoms in some people. To avoid this, we rec-
ommend you clean your humidifier weekly with
Humidifier Cleaner 32-7283 and use Bacteriostat
32-14900. These are available at your local Sears
store.

Location Instructions
I WARNING: For your own safety, do not use humidi- Itier if any parts are damaged or missing.
1. Place humidifier in 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. Moist air (humidity) produced will dis-
perse into the whole house, but area closest to unit will
have the highest humidity.
2. Humidifier should sit at least two inches away from wall

for proper operation. Air needs to enter through rear
and top louvers in order for humidifier to operate at
I
peak efficiency.
NOTE: Due to release of cool, moist air from humidifier, it
is best to direct air away from home's thermostat and hot
air registers. It is best to keep humidifier in front of 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 regis-
ter blows directly on unit.
