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. After water is added to the bottle, the

filters begin to soak up the water and become totally saturated in approxi- mately 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. AII 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 Rots belt or Ultrasonic humidifiers.

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

use only cleaners specifically recommended for humidifiers. Never

use flammabie, combustible or poisonous materials to clean your

humidifier. To reduce the risk of scalds and

damage to humidifier, never put hot water in humidifier.

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 an area of your house where humidity is

needed most, or in an area which would likely result in moist air being circuiated

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 gailon humidifier contains

water bottles. The weight of the bottles in the front of the cabinet may cause the

front casters to sink deeper into the carpet. If this happens, the water level

will be higher towards the front of the humidifier, and !ower towards the back. The water level float (located at the rear of the cabinet) may not sense the water so the filI light wilI be on and the unit wilI

not energize. If this happens, the unit will need to be Ieveied 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.

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 wails 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 wilI have the highest humidity. If the unit is positioned close to a window, condensation may form on the window pane. If this is not appropriate the unit should be repositioned 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 louvers in the rear panel in order for the humidifier to operate at peak efficiency.

Electrical Hook-Up

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

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

so no one wilI 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 120V A.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.
