Humidifier Operations

"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 in the 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.

NOTE: Due to release of cool, moist air

from humidifier, it is best to direct air

away from home thermostat, it Is best

to position humidifier next to an inside

Operating Humidifier Controls

I IIII1[

Humidity Control:

Adjustthe amount of humiditydepending

on user's needs. The humidifierwill turn

on and offas requiredto maintainlevel of

humidity you select. (See Figure 5.)

MEDIUM setting is recommended but

thereare times whenlow or highamount

of humidity may be preferred. For con-

stantoperationof humidifier,CONSTANT

ON allows for the maximum amount of

humidity to be evaporated into the air

continuously.

IMPORTANT

Water damage may result ff condensa-

tion starts to form on windows or

walls. Humidify Control setting should

be lowered until condensation no

longer forms.

Air Flow Control:

The higher the air flowspeed, the more

water isevaporated and released intothe

air. LOW _peecListhe quietestand ispro-

vided for conditionsthat may not require

as high an evaporationrate. (See Figure

5.)

Fill Light:

When unit has a small amount of water

leftin it, a orangefill lightwillcome onand

unitwillshutoff.(See Figure5.)

Figure5

Using Your Humidffier

Step 1

Be sure unit isfull 0f water and plugged in.

Step 2

Set Air Flow control knob to LOW posi-

tion, (See Figure 5.)

Step 3

Set Humidity Control to MEDIUM posi"_n.

(See Figure 6.)

"NOTE: Humidifier should operate with

l_Jmidity control on the recommended

MEDIUM setting. If it does not, the

humidity is at a relatively high level. To

test the unit under this condition, turn

Humidity Control all the way to CON-

STANT ON and unit should begin to

operate. After unit has been tested, set

Humidity Control to MEDIUM or

desired level

Allow 24 hours for humidifier to adjust.

If humidity level in home is sufficient, the

humidifier will only operate with Humidity

Control set on CONSTANT ON.

IMPORTANT

Water damage may result if condensa-

tion starts to form on windows or

walls. Humidity Control setting should

be lowered until condensation no

longer forms.

Step 4

If humidifier stops running, the humidity

level is at the normal requirements for that

setting or it is adjusting to the home condi-

tions. Figure 6 shows approximate relative

Control.

fiers. Never use flammable, com-

bustible or poisonous materials to

clean your humidifier. To avoid scalds

and dantage to humidifier, never put

hot water in humidifier.

CAUTION

Local water purity may vary from area

to area and under certain conditions

water impurities and airborne bacteria

may promote the growth of micro-

organisms in the reservoir of a

humidifier.

To retard bacteria growth that may

cause odors and be harmful to your

health, use only Sears replacement

filters. We also recommend using a

EPA approved bactedostat, 32-14900

and humidifier cleaner 32-7283, avail-

able at your local Sears store.
