How Your Humidifier Works --

Your new Kenmore humidifier is designed to satisfy home humidity requirements through the principle of evaporation of

water in the air. Once the filter becomes saturated, air is drawn in, passes through Dry air

the filter and moisture is absorbed into enters the air. All evaporation occurs in the the

humidifier so any residue remains in the louvers filter. This natural process of evaporation in the

virtually eliminates white dust. housing

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, fire or damage to humidifier,

use only cleaners specifically recommended for humidifiers. Never

use flammable, combustible or poisonous materials to clean your

humidifier. To reduce the risk of scalds and damage to humidifier, never put hot water in humidifier.

Humidified air is then released throuc

through

Step 1. Getting Your Humidifier Up and Running --

Assembly Remove casters, water bottle, housing

assembly, and filter from the box and reverse the base. Press casters into the

bottom of the base manually. Do not use tools. Set the base upright.

Replace the filter, housing assembly and bottle (See "Replacement and Care of Filters", page 11 for reference).

Step 2.

WARNING: For your own safety, do not use humidifier if any parts are damaged or missing.

Selecting A Location Place humidifier on a flat level surface,

take extra care in leveling when placing the unit on carpet. Position the humidifier where the most humidity is needed or

where the most air will be circulated throughout the house such as near a

cold air return.

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

area closest to the unit will have the highest humidity. If the unit is positioned

close to a window, condensation may form on the window pane. If this occurs 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 thermostat and hot air registers and to position humidifier next

to an inside wall. Unit should not be placed where cold air from outside walls

or warm air from a hot air register blows directly on it.

Location and Electrical Hook-Up

Positioning The Unit The humidifier should be positioned with

the back (cord exit side) and left side, at least 2 inches away from the wall. Air needs to enter through all of the louvers in the housing assembly in order for the humidifier to operate at peak efficiency.

I At least 2 inches

from wall

NOTE: Be sure humidistat, which is located on power cord, is free from

obstruction and away from any hot air source.

Electrical Hook-Up

Locate nearest 120V A.C. wall socket in the location desired, preferably on inside

wall. With the humidifier in the desired location, route the electrical cord safely

so no one will trip or upset the humidifier. Plug in the electrical cord.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or shock hazard, humidifier should

be plugged into a 120VA.C. outlet. Do not use extension 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, 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.
