shock and injury to persons, observe the following:

- No part of this product (the appliance, power cord, plug, packaging,

etc.) should be placed near furnaces, replaces, stoves or other high

temperature heat sources. Do not use in a window, on an uneven or

rugs, runners, or similar coverings. Do not route under furniture or

appliances. Arrange cord away from trafc area and where it will not

be tripped over. The cord should not hang over edges of counters
or be placed where it can be crimped or closed in doors. Place
appliance near an easily accessible outlet so the product can be
unplugged quickly during an emergency.

SAFE USE WARNING — To reduce risk of re, electrical shock and
injury to persons, observe the following:

- WARNING: To reduce likelihood of circuit overload, re and electric
shock, do not operate with a solid state speed device, such as a
dimmer control switch.

- Do not operate unit if the unit has been dropped or damaged. Do
not use this product if it has a damaged power cord or plug. To
avoid risk of electrical shock, do not attempt to repair or replace
parts. Only original replacement parts may be used. If the power

- Before plugging power cord into electrical outlet, be sure that
all electrical information on the rating label, including voltage, is
compatible with your outlet’s power supply.

- Never use the cord as a handle or otherwise yank, strain or stretch
the power cord.

- While the product is plugged in, do not insert or allow foreign
objects to enter any input or output opening as this may cause risk

of electric shock or re, or damage the product.

- A loose t between wall outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause

overheating and distortion of the plug. Discontinue use of the

product in this outlet. Contact a qualied electrician to replace

loose or worn outlets.

- This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other.) To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to

t in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not t fully in
the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact a qualied

electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

- Before lling with water, moving, repositioning, servicing, cleaning

and when not in use, use the product controls to turn off the
power and then unplug. To disconnect from outlet, grasp and
pull only the plug. Also, power off and unplug if the product will
be left unattended for an extended period of time or during
electrical storms.

- Electric shock can occur when liquid comes in contact with

electricity. Be careful when removing the water tank and relling to

avoid electric shock. Do not pour water through the top Outlet Air
Grill on the power head.

- Turn the humidier off if the relative humidity exceeds 60%.
Humidity levels above 60% may allow moisture to build up indoors

and condense on surfaces, where microorganisms can settle and

grow. For accurate readings, use a hygrometer which is available at

most hardware stores and home centers.

SERVICING WARNING — To reduce risk of re, electrical shock
and injury to persons, observe the following:

- Wicks in the humidier have been treated with antimicrobial

preservative with the following active substances: Cellulose (9004­34-6) and Omadine Salts (13463-41-7). This protection applies only

to the wick (lter) and not the entire appliance. WARNING: Wash
hands and avoid touching eyes after handling the wick (lter).

- Clean your product regularly, only as is instructed in this
manual. Prior to cleaning, turn off the power on your product
and unplug. Do not use gasoline, thinners, solvents, ammonias
or other chemicals for cleaning. Refer to the CLEANING
instructions provided.

- Do not open appliance housing while product is plugged in. To
avoid risk of shock, all service and/or repairs must be done by a
Vornado Authorized Service Center.

- Protect against the growth of mold, mildew and other
microorganisms by emptying the water tank immediately after each
use. If water is left in the tank for longer than 8 hours, thoroughly
clean and disinfect the unit as described in the section of this
Owner’s Guide referenced as “CLEANING”.
