Location Instructions
WARNING:
For your own safety,
do
not use humidifier
if any parts
are
damaged
or missing.
Step
1 :
Place
humidifier
on a flat level surface
in
an area of your house
where
humidity
is
needed
most,
or in an area 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 14 gallon
humidifier
contains
water
bottles.
The weight
of the bottles
in
the front of the cabinet
may cause the
front casters
to sink deeper
into the
carpet.
If this happens,
the water
level
will be higher
towards
the front
of the
humidifier,
and lower towards
the back.
The water
level float (located
at the rear
of the cabinet)
may not sense the water
so the flashing
"F" will be displayed
and
the unit will not energize.
If this happens,
the unit will need to be leveled
in order
for the humidifier
to be energized.
To level
the humidifier
when located
on carpet,
place the included
caster
pads
under the
front two casters
of the humidifier
only.
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.
Moist air (humidity)
produced
will
disperse
into the whole
house,
but area
closest
to the 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.
Step
2:
The humidifier
should
be positioned
with
the back (cord exit side), at least 2
inches
away from
the wall. Air needs
to
enter through
the louvers
in the rear
panel
in order
for the humidifier
to
operate
at peak
efficiency.

Operating
Tips for Best Performance
1. Position
the humidifier
at least 2 inches
from any wall and away from any heat
registers.
2. Do not restrict
airflow
from entering
or
exiting
the humidifier.
3. Use Sears
recommended
bacteriostat
32-14900
to retard
bacteria
growth
that may cause
odors
and may be
harmful
to your health.
4. Perform
regular
cleaning
as instructed
in "Cleaning
and Maintenance"
section
of this manual.
5. Replace
the evaporative
wicking
filters
at least once per humidification
season
or more depending
on water
conditions
in your area.
