Replacement and Care of Filters

WARNING: To reduce the risk of
shock or injury from moving parts,
always unplug humidifier before
removing or replacing any parts.
CAUTION: To help retard bacteria
growth and keep maximum efficiency,
the filter should be replaced at least
once per season, or more often
under hard water conditions. Use
Kenmore 32-14911 recommended
replacement filter.
The filters may be rinsed periodically in
clear water only. Take care not to damage
paper. To replace evaporative wicking
filters in your humidifier, follow these
instructions.
1. Unplug humidifier before removing the
filters. We recommend moving the
humidifier to an area where floor
coverings are not susceptible to water
damage, i.e. kitchen or bath areas.
2. Open the pivoting lid and remove water
bottles and set aside. Grasp the fan
assembly front center and rear center.
Lift off and set aside on a clean flat
surface. The filter housings are now
accessible.
3. Lift filter housing out of cabinet and
place where you may work on them
comfortably. With a soft, absorbent
cloth remove any remaining water or
loose mineral deposits not trapped in
the filter from the humidifier cabinet.
4. To open filter housing for easy access
to filters:
a. Deflect the two spring tabs on top of
filter housing. Lift top cover off of the
filter housing and set aside.
b. Remove the two filters and dispose
of properly. Clean internal parts of
humidifier per the "Cleaning and
Maintenance" section (page 12) of
your operator's manual.
