Humidifier Operations
Your new Sears 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 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 in the form
of vapor_ No water droplets will enter the
home. All evaporation into the air takes
place [n the humidifier, which means that
the residue left by evaporating water is not
passed into the home, but remains in the
filter.

Step 1
Place humidifier on a fiat level surface in an
area of your house where humidity is need-
ed most, or 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 if the
humidifier is located on carpeting.
NOTE: The 14 gallon humidifier contains
water bottles. The weight of the bottles in
parts are damaged |
the front of the cabinet may cause the front
casters to sink deeper intothe carpet. If this
happens, the water level will be higher
towards the front of the humidifier, and
lower towards the back. The water level
float (located at the rear of the cabinet) may
not sense the water so the fill light will be on
and the unit will not energize. If this hap-
pens, the unit will need to be leveled in
order for the humidifier to be energized. To
level the humidifier when located on carpet
place the included caster pads under the
front two casters of the humidifier only. See
diagram page 5.

Location Instructions (continued)
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.
Moist air (humidity) produced will disperse
into the whole house, but area closest to the
unit will have the highest humidity. If the unit
is positioned close to a window, condensa-
tion may form on the window pane. Ifthis is
not appropriate the unit should be reposi-
tioned in another location.
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
Iouvres in the rear panel in order for the
humidifier to operate at peak efficiency.

Electrical Hook-Up
