Important Safeguards
READ BEFORE USING YOUR HUMIDIFIER
1) This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit
into a polarized 120-volt, 15-amp outlet, only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety
feature. If an extension cord must be used, it should also accept the
wide blade plug and meet this electrical rating.
2) Do not place the cord under rugs, in traffic areas, or near heat sources.
3) Do not use the humidifier if the cord is damaged.
4) Always unplug the power cord before cleaning, servicing, or when the
unit is not in use.
5) Do not place the humidifier near loose drapes, combustible materials,
or heat-producing objects.
6) This humidifier is UL listed with Bemis by Essick Air brand evaporative
wicks in place. To maintain your UL rating, see your service center for
all repairs. Use only Bemis by Essick Air brand replacement wicks and
chemicals. To order parts, wicks, and chemicals call 1- 800-547-3888.
7) Regular cleaning is recommended. Refer to the CARE & MAINTENANCE
section in this manual.
8) It is very important that cleaning solutions and other liquids, such as
bleach, which may be used to clean the cabinet, are not sprayed or
applied to the power pak/chassis assembly. These cleaning solutions
can cause a serious electrical malfunction of the humidifier.
