Humidifier Operations

Your: new Sears humidifier is designed to

SatiSfyi::home : humidity _requirements

through the principle of evaporation of

water in the air.

After water is added to the bottle, the fil-

ters begin to soak up the water and
become totally saturated in approximately

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. 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.

ICAUTION: Use 42-14900 EPA

only
Registered Bacteriostat available
from SEARS Retail store, Under no

circumstances should you use water
treatment products designed for Rote

belt or Ultrasonic humidifiers.
