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 Sears replacement
filters. We also recommend using EPA
approved bacteriostat,
32-14900
and
humidifier cleaner, 32-14713, available
at your local Sears store.
NOTE: If it is necessary to use approved
bacteriostat, follow directions correctly.
The cabinet of the whole house
humidifier will hold 4-3/4 gallons of water.
Step 1:
To make cleaning easier, the humidifier
cabinet should be empty and completely
dried out. To accomplish this, use the
following method:
a. On the back side of the humidifier
cabinet, find the float retainer. In
normal operating mode, the retainer
wilt be positioned in the bottom of the
slot in the cabinet. Push the retainer
up to the top slot position in the
cabinet until it locks in place. (See
"Manual Dryout" section on page 8.)
b. Allow the humidifier to run until there is
no water left in the cabinet.
c. 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
a. Remove the fan assembly by opening
the pivoting lid. Grasp the fan
assembly front center and rear center.
Lift off and set aside on a clean flat
surface.
b. Before removing the internal parts of
the humidifier cabinet, we recommend
moving the humidifier to an area
where floor covers are not susceptible
to water damage, i.e.; kitchen or bath
area.
c. Deflect the two vertical tabs on top of
the front filter housing to release the
top filter housing. Lift top filter housing
straight up and out of cabinet. Repeat
for other top filter housing.
d. Remove old filters and dispose of
properly.
e. Remove the water level float from the
humidifier cabinet by pinching the float
retainer to release it from the cabinet.
The cabinet should be empty before
cleaning. The cabinet consists of the
lower areas of the humidifier where
the filters are during normal operation
time.
f. Empty cabinet of any remaining water.
g. Proceed to "Bi-Weekly Maintenance"
or "End of Season Maintenance" and
then continue as described below.
Step 3:
Install new filters (Kenmore 32-14912
Replacement
Filters) into the location
where the old filters were positioned.
Reinstall the water level float assembly
into the cabinet.
NOTE: Link arm assembly retainer
should be positioned in normal operating
mode. Assure that it is positioned in the
bottom of the slot in the back of the
cabinet (See page 7 for diagram of slot).
Reposition top filter housing on top of the
filters and snap onto front filter housings.
Position the fan assembly on top of the
cabinet and return the humidifier to the
desired location for use.
Refill humidifier cabinet with fresh cool
water. Plug the unit into a 120 vott A.C.
power outlet and set the controls per the
"Operating Humidifier Controls" section of
this manual.
