CARE AND UPKEEP OF YOUR KENMORE DEHUMIDIFIER

WARNING: SHOCK OR INJURY HAZARD - Before cleaning be sure to unplug power cord from outlet. Handle the dehumidifier with care. Watch out for sharp metal edges and fins on the inner coil.

Cleaning Your Dehumidifier:

Always unplug the power cord before cleaning the dehumidifier. Dust the grilles or louvers with a soft brush or the dusting attachment of your vacuum cleaner.

Every few weeks wash the inside of the moisture pan with a sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent to prevent the growth of mold, mildew and bacteria.

Once or twice each season, remove dust and lint from the rear coils with a soft brush. On models with Filter-back feature gently pry the Filter-back from the sides of the cabinet to expose the coils. Rinse the Filter-back in warm water, dry thoroughly before replacing.

On units not so equipped, the filter-back may be purchased through any Sears parts depart- ment. Please quote part No. 3-70128-005.

To clean dehumidifier cabinet, use a damp cloth. Dry with a soft cloth. Never use solvents, cleaning fluids, abrasive cleaners or strong detergents.

CAUTION: Do not wash nor allow water to contact any electrical components. Don't plug dehumidifier in until it is completely dry.

IMPORTANT

It is recommended to wait a minimum of 5 min- utes before turning the unit on after the com- pressor stops running. This time allows pres- sure inside the unit to equalize and to cool down or re-set of PTC relay for a full torque start on the compressor.
