INSTALLATION

REQUIREMENTS

Electrical Requirements

Electrical Connection

■ To properly install your air purifier, plug

the 2 prong power cord into a grounded 120-volt outlet.

■ 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 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.

Location Requirements

This manual covers several different models. The air purifier you have purchased may have some or all of the features listed.
