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 or bottles,
the filters begin to soak up the water and
become totally saturated in approximately
30 minutes. 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 wilt 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 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
avoid this, we recommend you clean
your humidifier weekly with Humidi-
fier Cleaner 32-14713 and use Bacte-
riostat 32-14900. These are available
at your local Sears store.

Location Instructions
WARNING: For your own safety, do
not use humidifier if any parts are
damaged or missing.
Step 1
Place humidifier on a flat 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.
NOTE: The 13 gallon humidifier contains
water bottles, the weight of the bottles in
the front of the cabinet may sink the cast-
ers deeper in the carpet. This will keep
the water level forward in the cabinet. The
water level float (located at the rear of 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.
cabinet) may not sense the water and the
fill light will be on and the unit will not
energize, if this happens, the unit will
need to be leveled in order for the humidi-
fier to be energized.
NOTE: It may be necessary to purchase
leveling coasters from your local hard-
ware store. The coasters should be posi-
tioned under the front two casters of the
humidifier.
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.
If this is not appropriate the unit should be
repositioned in another location.
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 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.
At Least
2" From Wall

not use extension cords.

WARNING: To avoid shock, always
unplug humidifier before filling,
cleaning, or servicing.
WARNING: To avoid fire or shock
