-  Before plugging power cord into electrical outlet, be sure that 

all electrical information on the rating label, including voltage, is 
compatible with your outlet’s power supply. 

-  Never use the cord as a handle or otherwise yank, strain or stretch 

the power cord. 

-  While the product is plugged in, do not insert or allow foreign 

objects to enter any input or output opening as this may cause risk 

of electric shock or fire, or damage the product.

-  A loose fit between wall outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause 

overheating and distortion of the plug. Discontinue use of the 

product in this outlet. Contact a qualified electrician to replace 

loose or worn outlets.

-  This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the 

other.) To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to 

fit in a polarized 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.

-  Before filling with water, moving, repositioning, servicing, cleaning 

and when not in use, use the product controls to turn off the 
power and then unplug.  To disconnect from outlet, grasp and 
pull only the plug. Also, power off and unplug if the product will 
be left unattended for an extended period of time or during 
electrical storms. 

-  Electric shock can occur when liquid comes in contact with 

electricity. Be careful when removing the water tank and refilling to 

avoid electric shock. Do not pour water through the top Outlet Air 
Grill on the power head.  

-  Turn the humidifier off if the relative humidity exceeds 60%.  

Humidity levels above 60% may allow moisture to build up indoors 

and condense on surfaces, where microorganisms can settle and 

grow. For accurate readings, use a hygrometer which is available at 

most hardware stores and home centers. 

SERVICING WARNING—To reduce risk of fire, electrical shock 

and injury to persons, observe the following:

-    Wicks in the humidifier have been treated with an antimicrobial 

preservative. This protection applies only to the product wick (filter) 

and not the entire appliance. WARNING: Wash hands and avoid 

touching eyes after handling the wick (filter).

-   Clean your product regularly, only as is instructed in this 

manual. Prior to cleaning, turn off the power on your product 
and unplug.  Do not use gasoline, thinners, solvents, ammonias 
or other chemicals for cleaning. Refer to the CLEANING 
instructions provided.

-   Do not open appliance housing while product is plugged in. To 

avoid risk of shock, all service and/or repairs must be done by a 
Vornado Authorized Service Center. 

-   Protect against the growth of mold, mildew and other 

microorganisms by emptying the water tank immediately after each 
use.  If water is left in the tank for longer than 8 hours, thoroughly 
clean and disinfect the unit as described in the section of this 
Owner’s Guide referenced as “CLEANING”.

DISPOSAL WARNING

To reduce waste and environmental harm, observe the following:

PACKAGE RECYCLING: 

The packaging protects the 

appliance from transport damage. The packaging materials 
are selected from the point of view of their environmental 
friendliness and disposal technology and are therefore 
recyclable. Dispose of all packaging materials in an 
environmentally responsible manner.
