Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for
household use only.
This appliance is equipped with a
polarized plug. This type of plug has
one blade wider than the other. The
plug will fit into an electrical outlet
only one way. This is a safety feature
intended to help reduce the risk of
electrical shock.
If you are unable to insert the plug into
the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the
plug should still fail to fit, contact a
qualified electrician to replace the
obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to
defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug by modifying the plug
in any way.
If a longer cord is necessary an
approved extension cord may be used.
The electrical rating of the extension
cord must be equal to or greater than
the rating of the humidifier. Care must
be taken to arrange the extension cord
so that it will not drape over the coun-
tertop or tabletop where it can be
pulled on by children or accidentally
tripped over.
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
When using electric appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
