• Always place the air cleaner at least twelve (12) inches away from walls and three (3)
feet from heat sources such as stoves, radiators, or heaters.

• DO NOT operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is
being administered.

• DO NOT place or store appliance where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.

• DO NOT place in or drop into water or other liquid.

• Keep dry - DO NOT operate in a wet or moist condition.

or loose plugs can cause the outlet or plug to overheat. Be sure the plug fits tight
in the outlet.

invalids and whenever the air cleaner is left operating and unattended.

• Always unplug the air cleaner when not in use.

• Do not operate the air cleaner with a damaged cord or plug, or after the air cleaner
malfunctions, has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return to HoMedics
Consumer Relations for examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment, or repair.

• This air cleaner is not intended for use in bathroom, laundry areas and similar moist
indoor locations. Never locate air cleaner where it may fall into a bathtub or other

similar coverings. Do not route cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange cord
away from traffic areas where it can be tripped over.

plug from outlet.

• Do not tilt or move the air cleaner while it is in operation. Shut off and remove plug
from outlet before moving.

• Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as
this may cause an electric shock or fire, or damage the air cleaner.

• To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not
use on soft surface, like a bed, where openings may become blocked.
