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 cabinet, 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 through the

top of the humidifier. This moist air is

released in the form of vapor. No water droplets will enter the home. All evapora-

tion into the air takes place in the humidi- fier, which means that the residue left by evaporating water is not passed into the

home, but remains in the filter.

CAUTION: Use only 42-14900 EPA Registered Bacteriostat available

from SEARS Retail store. Under no I

circumstances should you use water I treatment products designed for Roto be t or U trason c hum d f ers.

CAUTION: Keep your humidifier clean. While humidifiers do not cause

colds, some studies suggest that dirty humidifiers can cause cold-like symp-

toms In some people. To reduce the risk of this, we recommend you clean your humidifier weekly with

Humidifier Cleaner 42-14713 and use Bacterlostat 42-14900. These are

available at your local Sears store

Assembly

Your new Emerson humidifier is complete- ly assembled for you to use. Remove the

packaging material from inside your humidifier and follow the instructions of this

owner's manual for proper usage. The

packaging material is located below the

fan assembly. Remove all of the packaging

material and discard.

NOTE: The filters may have shifted during shipping. Ensure that they are

properly seated in the bottom of the cabinet below the top filter housings before filling. Refer to "Replacement and Care of Filters" section on page 9.

Location Instructions

WARNING: For your own safety, do not usa humidifier If any parts are

damaged or missing.

Step 1 Place humidifier on a flat level surface in

an 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.

Moist air (humidity) produced will disperse into the whole house, but 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 is not appropriate the unit should be repositioned in another location,

NOTE: Due to release of cool, moist air from humidifier, if 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 reg-

ister 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 the louvers in the mar of the cab-

inet in order for the humidifier tooperate at peak efficiency

At Least 2" From Wall
