How Your Humidifier Works
Your new Kenmore 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.
Humidified air is
then released
through the to
Dry air
enters
through
the
louvers
in the
housing
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.
Step 1. Getting Your Humidifier Up and Running
Assembly
Remove casters, water bottle, housing assembly,
and filter from the box and reverse the base. Press
casters into the bottom of the base manually. Do
not use tools. Set the base upright.
Replace the filter, housing assembly and bottle
(See "Replacement and Care of Filters", page 11
for reference).

Step 2. Location and Electrical Hook-Up
WARNING: For your own safety, do not
use humidifier if any parts are damaged or
missing.
Selecting A Location
Place humidifier on a flat level 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 wilt
have the highest humidity. If the unit is positioned
close to a window, condensation may form on the
window pane. If this occurs the unit should be
repositioned in another location.
NOTE: Due to release of coot, moist air from
humidifier, it is best to direct air away from
thermostat and hot air registers and to position
humidifier next to an inside walt. Unit should not
be placed where cold air from outside walls or
warm air from a hot air register blows directly on it.
Positioning The Unit
The humidifier should be positioned with the back
(cord exit side) and left side, 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.
Electrical Hook-Up
Locate nearest 120V A.C. 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.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this
humidifier has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). This plug wilt fit in a polarized
outlet only one way.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire
or shock hazard, humidifier should
be plugged into a 120V A.C. outlet.
Do not use extension cords.
At least 2 inches
from wall
NOTE: Be sure humidistat, which is located on
power cord, is free from obstruction and away from
any hot air source.
If the plug does not fit fully inthe 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.

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 authorized service
personnel before plugging in.
Bottle
After the humidifier is positioned where it will be
operating you are ready to fill the humidifier. The
bottle lifts straight up and away from the base.
Take care not to bump or damage fill valve
assembly on the bottom of the bottle.
Remove the "E-Z Fill Side Cap" and fill with water.
Replace cap and twist by hand until secure. Hold
the bottle upright

/
CAUTION: Use only 32-14900 EPA
Registered Bacteriostat available from Sears
Retail store. Under no circumstances should
you use water treatment products designed
for Roto belt or Ultrasonic humidifiers.
Place the water bottle back into the humidifier
base. When positioned properly, the plunger wilt
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. To benefit from less frequent
filling let the humidifier exhaust both the water
from the bottle and the base before filling.

Step 4. Operating the Controls
Where you set your desired humidity levels
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.
When Outdoor
Temperature is:
2°F _18°C
10° F -12° C
20° F* -6° C *
Recommended Indoor
Relative Humidity (RH) is:
25%
30%
35%
*and above
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%.
To Operate the Controls
Digital Display
Press the power button once to display the digital
readout*. Initially there is a slight delay while the
electronics calibrate.
Two bars (- -) flash during this time.
Once calibration is complete a ROOM humidity
reading between 25% - 95% will be displayed. A
flashing 20 display indicates that the room humidity
is less than 20%.
NOTE: 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.

Using Your Humidifier (cont'd.)
Speed Button
This humidifier is equipped with a 4-speed fan
control. Each push of the speed button advances
the mode through the settings of HIGH,
MEDIUM, LOW, WHISPER, and AUTO.
The selected setting is displayed on the digital
readout. The higher the setting, the faster water is
evaporated and released into the air. WHISPER
is the quietest setting and is provided for conditions
that do not require a rapid evaporation rate.
How Auto Control Works
Quiet Comfort
Fan Speed Display Fan Speed Button
The AUTO setting allows the humidifier to manage
it's speed range to maintain your desired humidity
setting. It wilt automatically cycle to the most
efficient speed to achieve the desired humidity.
Here is how the fan wilt operate:
• HIGH speed if room humidity is 15% or greater
RH (Relative Humidity) below the SET point.
•MEDIUM speed if room humidity is
15 - 10% RH below the SET point.
• LOW speed if room humidity is 10 - 5% RH
below the SET point.
• WHISPER speed if room humidity is 5% RH
or less.
If the room humidity is not increasing at the current
fan speed during a 15 minute period, the fan speed
increases to the next higher speed until the humidity
SET point is reached.
NOTE: The humidifier may run on HIGH for an
extended period of time if the actual room humidity
is extremely low.
Humidity Control
This button allows you to adjust the humidity to
suit your needs. This humidifier will automatically
cycle on and off as required to maintain the
selected setting. The readout displays both actual
(ROOM) and desired (SET) humidity percentage
(%) settings when humidity control button is
pressed. The ROOM readout has a range of 25%
to 95%. If the room humidity level is equal to or
less than 20% the display will show a flashing 20.
The SET readout has a range of 25% to 65% and
is adjusted in increments of 5%. Initially
depressing the humidity button will display the
current humidity setting. Each additional press of
the button increases the setting by 5%. A SET
point of 65% operates the humidifier continuously
regardless of the ROOM reading. The humidistat
that senses the readings is located on the power
cord. Insure that this humidistat is free from
obstruction.

Using Your Humidifier
Refill Display Function
For maximum run time bottle and base should be
filled. When bottle and base are empty the display
alternates the room humidity reading and "F"
(FILL), indicating additional water is required.
Quiet Comfort
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 hasa check filter reminder timed to appear
after 720 hours of operation. When the CF message
is displayed,disconnect the power cord and check the
condition of the filter. If a build-up of deposits or
severe discoloration is evident replace the filter to
restore maximum efficiency. The CF message is
reset when the humidifier is plugged back in.
Refill Display
Dry Out Mode
at this time the unitwill automatically switch intothe
DRY OUT mode and continue to run on Whisoper
for a tow hour period.
Note: During this time the room humidity level will
continue to be monitored and the humidifier will
cycle the fan on and off until the filter is completely
dry. The fan wilt shut off leaving you with a dry
humidifier that is less prone to mold and mildew
growth.
If DRY OUT is not desired, refill the humidifier with
water.
Note: Once the dry out cycle is complete, the fan
wilt shut off.
Quiet Comfort ®

Using Your Humidifier (cont'd.)
Humidistat
The humidistat located on the power cord senses
the percentage of humidity in the air. It 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.
I
NOTE: Be sure humidistat, which is located on
power cord, is free from obstruction and away from
any hot air source.

traves del principio de la evaporaci6n del agua en el
aire. Una vez que el flltro se satura, se hace entrar
aire, el cual pasa a traves del filtro y absorbe hume-
dad. Toda la evaporaci6n ocurre en el humidificador,
por Ioque todos los residuos permanecen en el filtro.
Este proceso natural de evaporaci6n elimina
practicamente el polvo blanco.
Luego, se expulsa
