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 filters should be replaced at least
once per season, or more often under
hard water conditions. Use Sears rec-
ommended replacement filter 42-14912.
All filters may be rinsed in clear water only.
Take care not to damage paper. To replace
evaporative wicking filters in your Kenmore
Quiet Comfort Whole House humidifier, fol-
low the instructions below.
1. Unplug humidifier and proceed to clean.
Before removing the filters, we recom-
mend moving the humidifier to an area
where floor coverings are not suscepti-
ble to water damage, i.e. kitchen or bath
areas.
2. To remove parts
Remove the fan assembly by opening
the pivoting lid. Grasp the fan assem-
bly front center and rear center. Lift off
and set aside
on a clean flat surface.
The filter housing assemblies
are now
accessible.
NOTE: There are two filter housing
assemblies.
Each
assembly
con-
sists of a top filter housing and a
front filter housing.
The front filter
housing contains
tabs that secure
the
top
filter
housing.
Do
not
remove the front filter housings.
3. To remove top filter housing,
deflect
the two vertical tabs on top of front fil-
ter housing and lift up and out of cabi-
net.
With
a soft,
absorbent
cloth
remove any remaining water or loose
mineral deposits not trapped in the fil-
ter from the filter housing assemblies.
4. Remove the two filters and dispose of
properly.
Repeat for other top filter
housing. Clean internal parts of humid-
ifier per the "Cleaning
