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.

Operoting Tips for Best Performonce
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
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.
