Care of Filter

I WARNING: To avoid electric shock, always unplug humidifier before removing or replacing any parts.

CAUTION: To help retard bacterial growth and maintain maximum efficiency, the filters should be replaced at least once a season, or more often under hard water conditions. Use Sears recom-

mended replacement filter.

Dry out the unit completely before changing filters. (See Cleaning of Humidifier Tank).

1.Unplug the electrical cord.

2.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.

3.Remove the lid completely from the unit by closing and lifting up from the hinge holders.

4.With one hand on each side of the motor support sec- tion, lift straight up and set gently on the floor in an upright position..

WARNING: Be sure the humidifier is unplugged or I the fan may come on after the motor support sec- I tion is removed from the tank.

5.The filter is enclosed in a filter holder. Lift out the entire holder to gain access to the filter.

a.To replace filter, remove used one from plastic holder by gently pushing from the side, insert a new filter in the filter housing.

b.To clean filter, lift out filter holder, leaving dirty filter in the holder. You can either dry out'filter or leave wet. Place filter and holder under cold tap water on medium pressure and rinse. Not all of the dissolved _ solids will wash off of filter, but this procedure will restore filter to a more efficient condition. Another

way to clean filter is to completely submerge filter in a bucket or sink full of clean cool water and dip repeatedly.

6.Replace the filter (in holder) in the humidifier tank by

lining up rear slot on filter holder frame with track on tank. Tilt holder toward rear and lower until front tab

lines up with front slot on the filter holder. (See Figure 14)

7.The filter holder sits on a float located at the bottom of the tank.

8.Pick up the motor support section and, while standing over the tank, locate the tabs that the support section sits on. Be sure the electrical cord is lined up with the rear opening, and gently slide the motor support sec- tion down into the tank.

9.Replace the lid and follow the filling and operating instructions.
