GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
1. Make certain that the power source conforms to the electrical require-
ments of the Humidifier.
2. The power cord is equipped with a three-prong grounded plug that
must be inserted into a matching receptacle. Under no circum-
stances must the grounding prong be cut off the plug. Where a two-
prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must be replaced with a
properly grounded three-prong receptacle installed in accordance
with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local
codes and ordinances. This work must be done only by a qualified
electrician, using copper wire only.

3. Where possible, avoid the use of extension cords. If they must be
used, minimize the risk of overheating by ensuring that they are UL
listed and of the proper gage and length. Never use a single extension
cord to operate more than one Humidifier.

or tamper with the Humidifier in any manner while it is in operation. Do
not touch the Humidifier while in operation or just after it has been
turned off, as some parts may be hot enough to cause injury.

used in potentially dangerous locations such as flammable, explo-
sive, chemical-laden or wet atmospheres.

DO NOT USE THIS HUMIDIFIER WITH ANY SOLID STATE SPEED
CONTROL DEVICE.
7. Always place the Humidifier is on a stable, flat, level surface when
operating, to avoid the chance of the Humidifier overturning. Locate
