Humidifier Operations
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 cabinet, the fil-
ters begin to soak up the water and
become totally saturated in approximately
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 through the
top of the humidifier. This moist air is
released in the form of vapor. No water
droplets will enter the home. All evapora-
tion into the air takes place in the humidi-
tier, 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
be t or U trason c hum d f ers.

CAUTION: Keep your humidifier
clean. While humidifiers do not cause
colds, some studies suggest that dirty
humidifiers can cause cold-like symp-
toms in some people. To reduce the
risk of this, we recommend you clean
your humidifier weekly with
Humidifier Cleaner 42-14713 and use
Bacteriostat 42-14900. These are
available at your local Sears store
Assembly
Your new Sears Kenmore humidifier is
completely assembled for you to use.
Remove the packaging material from
inside your humidifier and follow the
instructions of this owner's manual for
proper usage. The packaging material is
located below the fan assembly. Remove
all of the packaging material and discard.
NOTE: The filters may have shifted
during shipping. Ensure that they are
properly seated in the bottom of the
cabinet below the top filter housings
before filling. Refer to "Replacement
and Care of Filters" section on page 9.
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 the house where most humidi-
ty 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. Be
sure to verify that unit is level if the humid-
ifier is located on carpeting.
Moist air (humidity) produced will disperse
into the whole house, but area closest to
the unit will have the highest humidity, tf
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 regis-
ters. it is best to position humidifier next to
an inside wall. Hot air registers and cold
air from outside walls can affect the effi-
I
ciencies of the controls. Unit should not be
placed where warm air from a hot air reg-
ister blows directly on unit.
Step 2
The humidifier should be positioned with
the back (cord exit side), at least 2 inches
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 Wal!

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
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,
Water Fill
WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock,
always unplug humidifier before clean-
ing or servicing.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or
shock hazard, do not pour or spill water
into control or motor area. Close the
control cover. If controls get wet, let
them dry completely and have unit
checked by an authorized service per-
sonnel before plugging in.
This humidifier is designed to be filled
using a bucket fill method. The unit should
be positioned where it will be operating. To
fill the humidifier, close the control cover
and open the pivoting lid. Notice the splash
guard inside the cabinet of the humidifier.
Use recommended mixture of cold water
and if necessary Sears Bacteriostat #42-
14900 only. Pour the water slowly from a
bucket into the cabinet onto the center of
splash guard. NOTE: Deflect water off cen-
ter of splash guard when filling. The water
deflects off the splash guard and drops into
the bottom of the cabinet. Do not pour
water onto top of unit or control area.
Standing in front of the humidifier, notice
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.
the "FULL" labels positioned to the left and
right at the bottom inside of the cabinet.
These labels indicate the maximum
amount of water that can be poured into
the humidifier.
Do not fill water in the cabinet above
this line. If you do, water will leak out of
the cabinet and onto the floor.
NOTE: Deflect water off center of
splash guard when filling.
