How Your Humidifier Works
Your new Kenmore humidifier is
designed to satisfy home humidity
requirements through the principle of
evaporation of water into the air.
After water is added to the bottle, the
filters begin to soak up the water and
become totally saturated in
approximately 30 minutes. Air is drawn
in from the rear of the humidifier and
through the filters by means of
circulation fans. As air passes through
the filters, moisture is absorbed into the
air and then released in the form of
vapor. No water droplets will enter the
home. All evaporation into the air takes
place in the humidifier, which means
that the residue left by evaporating
water is not passed into the home, but
remains in the filter.

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.
Assembly
Your new Kenmore humidifier is
completely assembled for you to use.
Remove the bag pack containing two
plastic caster pads from top of
humidifier and retain for future use if
required. See the following Step 1 for
instructions.
Remove the packaging material from
inside your humidifier and follow the
instructions of this operator's manual for
proper usage. The packaging material is
located under the fan assembly. Remove
the packaging material and discard.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Water Fill
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
shock, always unplug humidifier
before cleaning or servicing.
This humidifier is designed for use with
the two water bottles that are located
under the pivoting lid.
Open the pivoting lid of the humidifier.
Remove the water bottles by lifting them
straight up and out of the cabinet.
Notice the water bottles are designed as
right and left hand units. Position them
in the correct location so the humidifier
can function properly. The water bottles
should rest in the front of the cabinet.
Each "E-Z-Fill Side-Cap" must be facing
the rear of the unit.
Each water bottle is designed with an
"E-Z-Fill Side-Cap" that is easily
removable. Remove the "E-Z-Fill Side-
Cap" on the side of the water bottle by
twisting counterclockwise.

2. Press up on the valve cap plunger for
about one second to let out a little
water.
3. Release the plunger.
4. Listen for air bubbles Look for leaks
around the "E-Z-Fill Side-Cap'.
5. If you hear air bubbles or see leaks_
retighten the "E-Z-Fill Side-Cap" and
repeat Steps 1-4.
Wipe off excess water from the bottle.
Position the water bottle back into the
unit by grasping the water bottle handle
and lower it into the cabinet until the
bottle sits on pads at bottom of cabinet.
The "E-Z-Fill Side-Cap" must be facing
the rear of the cabinet. When
positioned properly, the plunger will

Using Your Humidfier (continued)
Check Filter Indicator Control Lock Out
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 motor operation. When the
display shows an alternating "CF" and
"room humidity" setting at 5second
intervals it is a reminder to check the
filter condition.
NOTE =Some areas have high water
mineral content causing the need for
more frequent filter changes.
Refer to "Replacement and Care of
Filter" on page 11.If a build-up of
deposits or severe discoloration is
evident replace the filter to restore
maximum efficiency.
To avoid unwanted tampering with the
humidifier settings the controls can be
locked.
Activation Procedure
After the humidifier functions have been
set up, press and hold the power button
down for 5seconds. The display will
show "CL" for 5seconds; release the
power button and the control will
resume the display of the room
humidity. The 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 and then resume
the display of room humidity.
/
Check Filter Display
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
will turn off until the ROOM reading
falls 3% below the SET point again.
NOTE =Be sure humidistat, which is
located on the power cord, is free from
obstructions and is away from any hot
air source.
