directions will void the product warranty.

WARNING: Risk to Children and Impaired Persons

- Supervision is required during the installation, operation, cleaning
and maintenance of this product by children under age 12 and
anyone with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance, its parts and packaging material.

INSTALLATION WARNING—To reduce risk of fire, electrical 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, fireplaces, stoves or other high
temperature heat sources. Do not use in a window, on an uneven or
unstable surface, or near water.

- The appliance, power supply, power cord and plug cannot come into
contact with water. Do not use this product on wet surfaces. Do not
use this product in a bathtub or shower or position product where
it may fall into a bathtub, laundry, swimming pool or other water
container. Do not use this product outdoors or expose it weather
or elements.

- Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw
rugs, runners, or similar coverings. Do not route under furniture or
appliances. Arrange cord away from traffic 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 fire, electrical shock and
injury to persons, observe the following:

- WARNING: To reduce likelihood of circuit overload, fire 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
cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a
hazard. Contact Vornado Consumer Service at 1-800-234-0604
(phone) or [e-mail] (email) for further
instructions about replacement and repair.

- Risk of fire. Your appliance may be equipped with a detachable
power supply or a cord/plug with a safety device such as a fuse. Use
only the power cord and plug provided.

- Before plugging power cord into electrical outlet, be sure that

4 English

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 fire, or damage the product.

- A loose fit between wall outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause
overheating and distortion of the plug. Discontinue use of the
product in this outlet. Contact a qualified 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
fit in 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. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

- Before filling 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 refilling to
avoid electric shock. Do not pour water through the top Outlet Air
Grill on the power head.

- Turn the humidifier 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 fire, electrical shock
and injury to persons, observe the following:

- Wicks in the humidifier 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 (filter) and not the entire appliance. WARNING: Wash
hands and avoid touching eyes after handling the wick (filter).

- 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”.

DISPOSAL WARNING
To reduce waste and environmental harm, observe the following:

PACKAGE RECYCLING: The packaging protects the

appliance from transport damage. The packaging materials
are selected from the point of view of their environmental
friendliness and disposal technology and are therefore
recyclable. Dispose of all packaging materials in an
environmentally responsible manner.
