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 and humidifier cleaner.
NOTE: If it is necessary to use approved
bacteriostat, follow directions correctly.
The bottles of the whole house humidifier
will hold 9 Ntres 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.
