Safety Guide

Power Plug

As with most electrical appliances, electrical parts in this 

ionizer are electrically live even when the switch is off.

•  Power cord should not be touched with wet hands

•  Use only (110v) in the USA, Mexico and Japan. Most 

other countries require (220v). The power cord cannot 

be altered from manufacturer’s specs.

•  Do not crimp or staple the power cord

•  Power cord should be plugged directly into an  

electrical outlet

•  Dusty or dirty electrical outlets may cause safety  

issues

•  Bending, twisting, pulling or putting heavy objects 

onto the power word may cause electrical problems 

including fire.

•  If power cord, plug or electrical outlet are damaged, 

discontinue use immediately.

•  Unplug the electric power when 

not in use for a long time (over 3 

days)
