Operating Humidifier Controls
The operating controls of your Kenmore
Quiet Comfort whole house humidifier are
located on the top center of the
humidifier. The controls are found under
the smoked control cover, located
between the air circulating fans.
Fill Indicator:
When the unit has a small amount of
water left in it, the small window next to
Fill on the control panel wilt appear
orange and the unit will automatically
shut off.
Lift the control cover by placing your
finger in the round cutout and lifting. The
cover will stay open. Now you can clearly
see the controls area. Familiarize yourself
with the controls and reference the
diagram of the control area for the correct
naming used in this manual.
To Operate the Controls
Humidity Control: O
Adjust the amount of humidity depending
on your needs. The humidifier wilt turn on
the off as required to maintain level of
humidity selected. A medium setting is
recommended, but there are times when
low or high amount of humidity may be
preferred. For constant operation of
humidifier, rotate humidity knob all the
way clockwise. This allows for the
maximum amount of humidity to be
evaporated into the air continuously.
IMPORTANT: Water damage may result
if condensation starts to form on windows
or walls. Humidity Control setting should
be lowered until condensation no longer
forms.
Speed Control: O
Your Kenmore humidifier has a three
speed rotary fan control. The higher the
air flow speed, the more water is
evaporated and released into the air.
Low speed "." is the quietest and is
provided for conditions that may not
require as high an evaporation rate.
Water Level Indicator:
This humidifier is equipped with a water
level gauge located in the center of the
control panel. When the cabinet is full of
water the large window opposite the
scale wilt show green. As water is
depleted the amount of green will
decrease to correspond with the scale.
NOTE: The cabinet may have a small
amount of water in it once unit shuts off.
Indicator
Manual Dryout:
At the end of the humidification season or
if you do not plan to run the humidifier for
one week or more, you can override the
automatic shutoff function to completely
dry the humidifier cabinet out.
To do this, simply slide the float retainer
located at the back of the humidifier
cabinet to the top position of the slot it is
located in. This wilt hold the float in an
upward position and the fans will run until
you turn the power off.
NOTE: Be sure to position float retainer
to the normal operating mode (lowest
position in slot) for humidifier operation.
