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 microorganisms 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, available at your local Sears

store.

Step 1

To make cleaning easier, the humidifier

base should be empty and completely

dried out. To accomplish this, use the

following method:

a. Allow the humidifier to run until the

REFILL message “F” illuminates and

the automatic shutoff has stopped the

humidifier fan.

b. Unplug humidifier.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock,

always unplug humidifier before

cleaning or servicing. If humidifier is not

un-plugged, fan could start after

housing is removed.

Step 2

To Remove Parts

See “Replacement and Care of Filter”

page 10.

NOTE: There may be a little water still in

the base. Carefully dump the water out or

remove with a sponge.

NOTE: Remove excess

water before cleaning

Bi-Weekly Maintenance

Removing Scale

and add one 8 ounce cup of

wipe out the base to remove scale.

3. Rinse thoroughly with clean warm

water to remove scale and

Disinfecting Base

1. Pour 1/2 gallon of water and 1/2

teaspoon chlorine bleach into the

2. Empty base after 20 minutes.

Rinse with water until bleach smell

is gone. Allow unit to dry out

completely.

NOTE: The water bottle should be

cleaned in the same manner as the
