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

humidifier cleaner, 32-14713, available
at your local Sears store.

the filter and set aside or dispose of

NOTE: There may be a little water still in
the base. Carefully dump the water out or
remove with a sponge.
