PLEASE READ AND SAVE
THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury
to persons, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. To avoid fire or shock hazard, plug the appliance
directly into a 120 V AC electrical outlet.
3. Keep the cord out of heavy traffic areas. To avoid
fire hazard, NEVER put the cord under rugs, near
heat registers, radiator, stoves, or heaters.
4. DO NOT place humidifier near heat sources such as stoves,
radiators, and heaters. Do locate your humidifier on an inside
wall near an electrical outlet. The humidifier should be at least
4" away from the wall for best results.
5. NEVER place humidifier in an area where it is accessible to children.
NEVER use humidifier in a closed room, particularly where a child
may be sleeping, resting, or playing (a closed room may result in
excessive humidity).
6. WARNING: Do not attempt to refill humidifier without first
unplugging the unit from it’s electrical outlet. Failure to
heed this warning may cause personal injury. Be sure
to pull the plug and not the cord.
7. Never place anything over moisture outlet when
the unit is running.
8. NEVER drop or insert any object into any openings.
9. DO NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug,
after the appliance malfunctions, or if it has been dropped
or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to manufacturer
for examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment, or repair.
10. Use appliance only for intended household use as described in
this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer
may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons. The use
of attachments not recommended or sold by Bionaire
®
or
The Holmes Group, Inc. may cause hazards.
11. DO NOT use outdoors.
12. Always place humidifier on a firm, flat, level surface.
A waterproof mat or pad is recommended for under
the humidifier. NEVER place it on a rug or carpet,
or on a finished floor that may be damaged by
exposure to water or moisture.
13. DO NOT allow the Moisture Outlet to directly face
the wall. Moisture could cause damage, particularly
to wallpaper.
14. Humidifier should be unplugged when not in use.
