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 42-14911.
The filters may be rinsed periodically in dear
water only. Take care not to damage paper.
To replace evaporative wicking filters in your
Kenmore Quiet Comfort Whole House
humidifier, follow 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. 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 flat sur­
face. The filter housings are now acces­
sible.
3. Lift filter housing out of cabinet and place
where you may work on them comfort­
ably. With a soft, absorbent cloth remove
any remaining water or loose mineral
deposits not trapped in the filter from the
humidifier cabinet.
4. To open filter housing for easy access to
filters:
a. Deflect the two spring tabs on top of
filter housing. Lift top cover off of the
filter housing and set aside.
b. Remove the two filters and dispose
of properly. Clean internal parts of
humidifier per the “Cleaning of
Humidifier” section of your owner's
manual.
