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.
