er : i iJryA r _nters

t s beg n to soak up:the water and Thmu-h the

becom e totally saturated in approxi- Rear

mately 30 minutes. Air is drawn in from _,
the rear of the humidifier, then passes: 1_
through the filters by means of a circula- _.
tion fan. As air passes through the filters, _Jk..

moisture is absorbed intothe air and then :

released through the top of the humidifier.
This moist air is released inthe form of

vapor. No water droplets willenter the

home. All evaporation into the air takes

place in the humidifier, which means that

the residue left by evaporating water isnot

passed into the home, but remains in the

filter.

CAUTION: Use only 42-14900 EPA I
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-

tier Cleaner 42-14713 and use Bacte-
riostat 42-14900. These are available

at your local Sears store.

WARNING: For your own safety, do
not use humidifier if any parts are

damagedormiss!n .

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.

Moist air (humidity) produced wiil disperse
intothe whole house, but area closest to

unit will have the highest humidity. Ifthe
unit is positioned close to a window, con-

densation may form on _he window pane,

Ifthis isnot appropriate the unit should be
repositioned in another location.

NOTE: Due to release of coot, moist air
from humidifier, it is best to direct air away

from home thermostat and hot air regis-
ters. tt is best to position humidifier next to
an inside wall. Hot air registers and cold

air from outside wails 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 teast 2 inches
away from the wall. Air needs to enter
through louvers in the rear panel in order
forthe humidifier tooperate at peak effi-

ciency.

At Least

2" From Wall
