Other 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 Air Purifier.
Care must be taken to arrange the extension
cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on
by children or accidentally tripped over.
Route the electrical or extension cord clear
of furniture to prevent damage from pinching.
