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 tank, the filters

begin to soak up the water and become

totally saturated in approximately 30 min- utes. Air is drawn in from the rear of the

humidifier, then passes through the filters by means of two 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 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 inthe 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 belt or Ultrasonic humidifiers.

CAUTION: Keep your humidifier

clean. While humidifiers do not cause colds, some studies suggest

that dirty humidifiers can cause cold-

like symptoms in some people. To

reduce the risk of this, we recom- mend 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 under the fan assembly. Remove

the packaging material and discard.

Location Instructions

not use humidifier if any parts are

I ARNING: For your own safety, do

damaged or missing.

Step 1 Place humidifier on a fiat level surface 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.

Placing the unit level is very important if

the humidifier is located on carpeting.

Moist air (humidity) produced will disperse into the whole house, but area closest to

unit will have the highest humidity. If the unit is positioned close to a window, con-

densation may form on the window pane.

Ifthis is not appropriate the unitshould 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- ciencies of the controls. Unit should not

be placed where warm air from a hot air register 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 louvers in the rear panel in order

for the humidifier to operate at peak effi- ciency.
