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

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.
