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 micro-
organisms
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,
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 bottles
of the whole
house
humidifier
will hold 2-3/8 gallons
of water
each.
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
will 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
9.)
b. Allow the humidifier
to run until there is
no water
left in the cabinet.
c. Unplug
humidifier.
