IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock and injury to
persons, including the following:
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to
fit in 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.
Do read all instructions before using this Humidifier.
Do 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 humidity readings, use a hygrometer which is
available at most hardware stores and home centers.
Do unplug the Humidifier prior to moving, cleaning or refilling.
Do unplug and empty this Humidifier when not in operation.
Do empty water from the unit if the Humidifier is to be turned off
and left for more than 8 hours, as leaving the water will encourage
the growth of microorganisms. If this happens, thoroughly
clean and disinfect the unit. (Refer to the CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE.)
Do remove the Water Tanks first if you need to move the Humidifier
to another location.
This Humidifier requires periodic cleaning. Refer to the CLEANING
AND MAINTENANCE instructions provided. Do Not clean the
Humidifier in any manner other than as instructed in this manual.
Do Not use this Humidifier on an uneven surface. Always place this
product on a firm, flat surface.
Do Not operate the Humidifier with a damaged cord or plug, after
the Humidifier malfunctions, or has been dropped or damaged in
any manner. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in
order to avoid a hazard.
Do Not run power cord under carpeting.
Do Not cover cord with throw rugs, runners or similar objects.
Arrange the power cord away from traffic areas, so it will not
become a tripping hazard.
Do Not place the Humidifier near heat sources such as stoves,
radiators or heaters.
Do Not pour water through the top Outlet Air Grill on the Power
Head.
Do Not use undiluted bleach or ammonia, strong detergents,
abrasive cleansers, gasoline, paint thinner or other solvents to clean
this Humidifier. Use only water and mild detergents to perform daily
maintenance on your Humidifier.
Do Not ATTEMPT TO DISASSEMBLE THE POWER HEAD. DOING
SO WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY AND COULD CAUSE DAMAGE
AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY. The Power Head contains no user
serviceable parts. If you experience a problem, please see the
limited warranty for information.
Do Not repeatedly remove and replace the Water Tanks. This will
overfill the Base and water will spill out.
Humidifiers should be kept away from children and not be placed
in a child’s room without supervision.

The Vornado Difference
in action
Without Adequate Circulation With Vornado Vortex Action
The Vornado Vortex assisted humidifier distributes moisture
farther into the room, enabling faster humidification. By in-
corporating Vornado’s exclusive Vortex Action, the humidifier
moves large volumes of harsh, dry air through two specially
designed filters and circulates the moistened air throughout
the room, providing complete and even humidification.
