CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

CORD AND PLUG INSTALLATION SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance has a POLARIZED AC 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 to install
the proper outlet.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MODIFY THIS PLUG OR
DEFEAT THIS SAFETY FEATURE IN ANY WAY.
The length of cord used on this appliance was selected to
reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping
over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary an
approved extension cord may be used. The electrical
rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater
than the rating of the humidifier. Care must be taken to
arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or accidentally tripped over.
