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.

Your new Sears Kenmore humidifier is
completely assembled for you to use.

Remove the packaging material from

inside your humidifier and follow the

I lille III I IIII I I II IIIIIIIIIIIII

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

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

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) ,,,,

I i i iiIIiii i

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

Electrical Hook-Up ....

Locate nearest 120V A.C. wall socket in

the location desired, preferably on inside

not use extension cords.

Water Fill ....

WARNING: To avoid shock, always
unplug humidifier before filling,

cleaning, or servicing.

WARNING: To avoid fire or shock
hazard, do not pour or spill water

into control or motor area. Close the
control cover. If controls get wet, let

them dry completely and have unit
checked by authorized service per-

sonnel before plugging in.

This humidifier is designed to be used

with the two water bottles that are located

under the pivoting lid.
Open the pivoting lid of the humidifier.

Remove the water bottles, lift them

straight up and out of the cabinet.
