Humidifier Operations Your new Sears humidifier is designed to satisfy home humidity requirements through the principle of evaporation of water in the air. After water is added to the bottle, 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 and through the filters by means of circulation fans. As air passes through the filters, moisture is absorbed into the air and then 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. Humidified Air is Then Released Through the Top ii'f,liil Dry Air Enters CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, fire or damage to humidifier, use only cleaners specifically recommended for humidifiers. Never use flammable, combustible or poisonous materials to clean your humidifier. To reduce the risk of scalds and damage to humidifier, never put hot water in humidifier. CAUTION: Use only 42-14900 EPA Registered Bacteriostat available from SEARS Retail store.

The coasters should be positioned under the front two casters of the humidifier. 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.

Familiarize yourself with the controls and reference the diagram of the control area for the correct naming used in this manual. To Operate Humidity °°oo e MIN 0 MAX • the Controls Control: _bi't Adjust the amount of humidity depending on your needs. The humidifier will turn on and off as required to maintain level of humidity selected. A medium setting is recommended, but there are times when low or high amount of humidity may be preferred. For constant operation of humidifier, MAX allows for the maximum amount of humidity to be evaporated into the air continuously. IMPORTANT: Water damage may result if condensation starts to form on windows or walls. Humidity Control setting should be lowered until condensation no longer forms. Desired eoO°e Humidity Light When the selected humidity level is met, the fans will shut off and the green "Desired Humidity" light will illuminate. When more humidity is called for, the fans will turn on and theI_t will go out. Speed Control The unit is adjusted from "OFF" to "3" with a rotary speed control. The higher the air flow speed, the more water is evaporated and released into the air. Low speed (1) is the quietest and is provided for conditions that may not require as high an evaporation rate. T13 Manual Dryout At the end of the humidification season or if you do not plan to run the humidifier for one week or more, you can override the automatic shutoff function to completely dry the humidifier cabinet out.
