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 bottles, the fil-
ters begin to soak up the water and
become totally saturated in approxi-
mately 30 minutes. Air is drawn in from
the rear of the humidifier, then passes
through the filters by means of two circu-
lation fans. As air passes through the fil-
ters, 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 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 42-14900 EPA
Registered Bacteriostat available
from SEARS Retail store. Under no
circumstances should you use water
treatment products designed for
Roto belt or Ultrasonic humidifiers.

damaged or missing.
Step I
Place humidifier on a fiat level _urface 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.
P.lacing 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 wate_evel forward in the cabinet. The
water level float (located at the rear of the
I
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 hardware
store. The coasters should be positioned
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.
