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. Dry Air Enters :.V-.kk'--kVV Through the i Rear ! !i CAUTION: Keep your humidifier clean. While humidifiers do not cause colds, some studies suggest that dirty humidifiers can cause coldlike symptoms in some people. To avoid this, we recommend you clean your humidifier weekly with Humidifier Cleaner 32-14713 and use Bacteriostat 32-14900. These are available CAUTION: Use only 32-14900 EPA Registered Bacteriostat available from SEARS Retail store.

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 casters 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 fill light will be on and the unit will energize, if this happens, the unit need to be leveled in order for the fier to be energized. and the not will humidi- 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, condensation may form on the window pane. If this is not appropriate the unit should be repositioned in another location. Location Instructions (continued) NOTE: Due to release of cool, moist air from humidifier, it is best to direct air away from home thermostat and hot air registers. It is best to position humidifier next to an inside wall. Hot air registers and cold air from outside walls can affect the efficiencies of the controls. Unit should not be placed where warm air from a hot air register blows directly on unit.

Familiarize yourself with the controls and reference the diagram of the control area for the correct naming used within this manual, To Operate Humidity the Controls Control: Adjust the amount of humidity depending on your needs. The humidifier will turn on and off as required to maintain level of humidity selected. MEDIUM setting is recommended, but there are times when low or high amount of humidity may be preferred. For constant operation of humidifier, MAXIMUM allows for the maximum amount of humidity to be evaporated into the air continuously. Operation of the slide control will get stiffer when the humidity setting reaches the home conditions. This is normal. IMPORTANT: if condensation Water starts damage to form may result on windows or walls. Humidity Control setting should be lowered until condensation no longer forms.
