Cleaning Your Humidifier

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, fire or damage to humidifier, use only cleaners specifically rec-

ommended for humidifiers. Never use flammable, combustible or poi-

sonous 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 air- borne 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 Sears replacement filters. We also recommend using EPA approved bacteriostat, 42-14900

and humidifier cleaner 42-14713, available at your local Sears store.

NOTE: If it is necessary to use approved bacteriostat, follow directions correctly. The bottles of the whole house humidifier will hold 2-3/8 gallons of water each.

Step 1

To make cleaning easier, the humidifier cabinet should be empty and completely dried out. To accomplish this, use the fol- lowing method:

a.On the back side of the humidifier cab- inet, find the float retainer. In normal

operating mode, the retainer will be positioned in the bottom of the slot in the cabinet. Push the retainer up to the top slot position in the cabinet until it locks in place. (See "Manual Dryout" section on page 7.)

b.Allow the humidifier to run until there is no water left in the cabinet.

c.Unplug humidifier.

Step 2

To Remove Parts

a. 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 fiat sur-

face. The filter housings are now accessible.

b. Before removing the internal parts of the humidifier cabinet, we recommend moving the humidifier to an area where

floor coverings are not susceptible to

water damage, i.e., kitchen or bath

area. Lift the filter housing assemblies out of the cabinet and set to the side.

c. Remove the water level float from the humidifier cabinet by pinching the float retainer to release it from the cabinet.

The cabinet should be empty before

cleaning. The cabinet consists of the lower areas of the humidifier where the

filters are during normal operation time. d. Empty cabinet of any remaining water.

e. Proceed to "Bi-Weekly Maintenance" or "End of Season Maintenance."

f.Remove old filters and dispose of prop- erly as described on page 9 and 10.

Step 3

Install new filters (purchase the correct

evaporative wicking filter pads 42-14911 for your humidifier) into the location where

the old filters were positioned. Install the filter housings with the new filters into the correct location. Reinstall the water level float. NOTE: Float retainer should be posi- tioned in normal operating mode. Assure that it is positioned in the bottom of the slot in the back of the cabinet. (See page 7 for diagram of slot.) Position the fan assembly on top of the cabinet and return the humid- ifier to the desired location for use.

Refill humidifier bottles with fresh cool water and return them to the cabinet. Plug the unit into a 120 volt A.C. power outlet and set the

controls per the "Operating Humidifier Controls" section of this manual.
