(CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS PROPOSITION 65)

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of ﬁre, electric shock and injury to persons, including the following:

• Read all instructions before using appliance.

• IMPORTANT - This portable luminaire has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) as

a feature to reduce the risk of electric shock. This plug will ﬁt into 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. Never use an extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted. Do not alter the plug.

• To avoid ﬁre or shock hazard, plug the appliance directly into a 120V AC electrical outlet.

• Keep the cord out of heavy trafﬁc areas. To avoid ﬁre hazard, NEVER put the cord under rugs, near

heat registers, radiator, stoves or heaters.

• To protect against electrical hazards, DO NOT immerse in water or other liquids. Do not use near water.

• Children cannot recognize the hazards associated with the usage of electrical appliances. For this reason, always supervise children when they are near the unit.

• Always unplug the air puriﬁer before moving it, opening the grill, changing ﬁlters, cleaning or whenever the air puriﬁer is not in use. Be sure to pull by the plug and not the cord.

• NEVER drop or insert any object into any openings.

• DO NOT run cord under carpeting.

• DO NOT cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings.

• DO NOT route cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange cord away from trafﬁc area and where

it will not be tripped over.

• DO NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, if motor fan fails to rotate, after the appliance malfunctions, or if it has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Call Customer Service at 1.866.603.5900 for assistance.

• Use appliance only for intended household use as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause ﬁre, electric shock or injury to persons.

• DO NOT use outdoors.

WARNINGS

Failure to comply with the warnings listed below may

result in electric shock or serious injury.

•NEVER block the air openings, grills/outlets or place on a soft surface such as a bed or sofa, as this could cause the unit to tip over, blocking the air intake or outtake opening.

•DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust any electrical or mechanical functions on this unit. Doing so will void your warranty. The inside of the unit contains no user serviceable parts. All servicing should be performed by qualiﬁed personnel only.
