Cleaning and Maintenance
WARNING: 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.
CAUTION: Local water purity varies
from area to area and under certain
conditions water impurities and
airborne bacteria may promote the
growth of microorganisms in the
reservoir of the humidifier. To retard
bacteria growth that may cause
odors and be harmful to your health,
use only Kenmore replacement filters.
We also recommend using EPA
approved bacteriostat, and humidifier
cleaner, available at your local Sears
store.
Step 1
To make cleaning easier, the
humidifier base should be empty and
completely dried out. To accomplish
this, use the following method:
a. Allow the humidifier to run until
the refill F light flashes and the
DRY OUT mode has stopped the
humidifier fan.
b. Unplug humidifier.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
shock, always unplug humidifier
before cleaning or servicing. If
humidifier is not unplugged, fan
could start after housing is removed.
Step 2
To Remove Parts
See "Replacement and Care of
Filter" page 11.
NOTE: There may be a little water
still in the base. Carefully dump the
water out or remove with a sponge.
NOTE: Remove excess
water before cleaning
Step 3
