"four 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, the filters

begin to soakup the water and become totally saturated in approximately 30 min-

utes; Air is drawn in from the top of the humidifier by means of a circulation fan

and drawn through the filter. As air passes through the filter, moisture is absorbed by the air and then released through the top

of humidifier. (See Figure 2) 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 inthe humidifi- er, which means that the residue left by

evaporating ,_ater is not passed into the home, but remains in the filter.

- CAUTION .............

Use on!y 32-14900 EPA Registered

Bacteri_stat available from SEARS Retail store. Use of other water treat-

ment products may damage the filter

or .nay pose health hazards. Under no circumstances should you

use water treatment products de-

signed 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, clean

your humidifier weekly with Humidifier Cleaner 32-7283 and use

Bacteriostat 32-14900. These are available at your local Sears store.
