How Your Humidifier Works
Your new humidifier is designed to satisfy home humidity requirements through
the principle of evaporation of water in the air.
Once the filter becomes saturated, air is drawn in, passes through the filter and
moisture is absorbed into the air. All evaporation occurs in the humidifier so any
residue remains in the filter. This natural process of evaporation virtually
eliminates white dust.
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.
Getting Your
Humidifier Up
and Running
Once removed from its carton,
remove all packing materials,
Verify the filter is properly installed
(See page 10).
Step 1. Location
WARNING: For your own safety, do not use humidifier if any parts are ]
damaged or missing. /
Selecting a Location
Place humidifier on a flat Ievel surface;
take extra care in leveling when placing
the unit on carpet. Position the humidifier
where the most humidity is needed or
where the most air will be circulated
throughout the house such as near a cold
air return.
Moist air (humidity) produced will
disperse into the whole house, but
the area closest to the unit will
have the highest humidity If the
unit ispositioned close to a
window, condensation may form
on the window pane_ If this occurs
the unit should be repositioned in
another location

Positioning the Unit
The humidifier should be positioned with
the back (cord exit side) and sides, at
least 2 inches away from the wall, Air
needs to enter through all of the louvers
in the housing assembly in order for the
humidifier to operate at peak efficiency.
NOTE: Be sure humidistat (located
approximately 4 inches outside humidifier
body on power cord) is free from
obstruction and away from any hot air
register.
NOTE: Due to release of cool, moist air from humidifier, it is best to direct air
away from thermostat and hot air registers and to position humidifiers next to an
inside watl_ Unit should not be placed where cold air from outside walls or warm
air from a hot air register blows directly on it,
Step 2. Electrical Hook-Up
Locate nearest t20V AC_ wall socket in the location desired, preferably on
inside wall. With the humidifier in the desired location, route the electrical cord
safely so no one will trip or upset the humidifier.
Plug in the electrical cord
L
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or shock hazard, only plug humidifier l
into a 120V A.C_ outlet. Do not use extension cords. J
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this
humidifier has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other), This plug will fit in
a polarized outlet only one way,
If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse plug. If it still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician to install the proper
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way
5

Step 3. Water Fill
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire
or shock hazard, do not pour or spill
water into control or motor area. If
controls get wet, let them dry
completely and have unit checked
by qualified service personnel before
plugging in
After the humidifier is positioned
where it will be operating, you are
ready to fill the humidifier. The bottle
tilts out and away from the base.
Take care not to bump or damage fill
valve assembly on the bottom of the
bottle.
Invert the bottle, Press the valve
stem button into the bottle and turn
clockwise to lock in open position°
Place bottle under the faucet Fill the
bottle, being careful not to allow any
debris to get in the valve seating.
Once the bottle is full, press the
valve stem button and turn counter
clockwise to release and close_

CAUTION: Use only 32-14900 EPA
Registered Bactedostat from Sears.
Under no circumstances should you
use water treatment products designed
for Rotobelt or Ultrasonic humidifiers.
Place the water bottle back into the
humidifier base° When positioned
properly, the plunger will open and
the water will flow into the base. The
base will hold the entire contents of
the water bottle. Once the bottle is
empty, remove it and repeat the
filling process° The humidifier is now
filled to capacity. For less frequent
filling let the humidifier exhaust both
the water from the bottle and the
base before filling.

Step 4. Setting the Controls
Where you set your
desired humidity Ievels
depends on your personal
comfort level, outside
temperature and inside
temperature, A starting
Set point of 30%-40%
ROOM humidity is
recommended but there
may be conditions that
require a different setting.
Recommended
When Outdoor Indoor Relative
Temperature is: Humidity is:
-10°F -24°C 20%
2°F -18"C 25%
10°F -12°C 30%
> 20°F -6°C 35%
The chart provided offers general guidelines for selecting indoor humidity.
IMPORTANT: Water damage may result if condensation starts to form
on windows or walls, Humidity SET point should be lowered until
condensation no longer forms, We recommend room humidity levels
do not exceed 50%,
Operating the Controls
Digital Display
Press the power button once to turn
the unit on* _). Initially there is a slight
delay while the electronics calibrate.
Two bars (--) appear during this timer
Once calibration is complete a ROOM
humidity reading between 20% - 95%
will be displayed, A flashing 20 display
indicates that the room humidity is less
than 20%.
NOTE: The default settings at initial
startup are (LOW) F1 fan speed and
65% SET humidity, After desired settings
are selected by the user, they remain as
long as the unit remains plugged in and
there is no power interruption, If the unit
is unplugged the original default settings
are employed,

cord. Insure that it is free from
obstructions°
Using Your Humidifier
Refill Display
For maximum run time both the bottle
and the base should be filled. When
both the bottle and the base are empty
the display alternates the room
humidity reading and "F" (FILL),
indicating that additional water is
required. Also at this time the unit will
automatically switch into DRY OUT
MODE and continue to run on the
lowest speed until the filter is dry. Refill Display
8

NOTE: During this time the room humidity level will continue to be monitored and
the humidifier wil! cycle the fan on and off until the filter is completely dry, The fan
will shut off leaving you with a dry humidifier that is less prone to mold and mildew
growth. If DRY OUT MODE is not desired, refill the humidifier with water and the
fan will return to the set speed.
NOTE: Fan automatically switches to lowest speed during DRY OUT MODE
Check Filter indicator
The ability of any humidifier to efficiently supply
humidity output relies heavily on the condition
of the filter. As the filter loads with impurities it
gradually loses its wicking capability. When this
happens, moisture output is reduced and the
humidifier has to work longer to satisfy the
selected setting. This humidifier has a check
filter reminder timed to appear after 720 hours
of operation. When display shows an
alternating "CF" and "room humidity" setting at
5 second intervals it is a reminder to check the
filter condition°
Ctl#{;k r,tlt{_r

Humidistat
The humidistat located on the power
cord senses the percentage of
humidity in the air. tt causes the
humidifier to cycle on and off to
maintain the selected humidity SET
point° The fan will turn on if the
"ROOM" reading falls 3% below the
SET point and will continue to run the
humidifier until a reading of 1% above
the SET point is achieved. The fan
wilt turn off until the ROOM reading
falls 3% below the SET point again.
NOTE: Be sure that the humidistat,
which is located on the power cord, is
free from obstruction and away from
any hot air source,
Control Lock Out
To avoid unwanted tampering with the
humidifier settings the controls can be
locked,
Activation Procedure
After the humidifier functions have been
set up, hold the power button down for
5 seconds° The display will show "CL"
for 2 seconds; release the power button
and the control will resume the display
of the room humidity. The room
humidifier will continue to function with
the locked in settings, If buttons are
operated while "CL" is active, the "CL"
is displayed and settings are
unaffected,
Deactivation Procedure
To deactivate the "CL" function simply
press and hold the power button for 5
seconds. "CL" will flash at the rate of t
second on and 1 second off for a period
of 2 seconds and then resume the
display of room humidity.

Funcionamiento de su humidificador
Su nuevo humidificador est_ disefiado para satisfacer los requisitos de humedad
del hogar pot medio del principio de evaporaci6n de agua en el aire.
Una vez que el filtro se satura, el aire ingresa, pasa a trav_s del fiEtro y la
humedad es absorbida y liberada en el aire. Toda la evaporaci6n se produce en
e! humidificador para que cualquier residuo permanezca en el filtro. Este proceso
natural de evaporaci6n elimina pr&cticamente todo el polvo blanco.
PRECAUClON: Para reducir el riesgo
