Essick Air 496 800 Humidifier User Manual


 
Important Safeguards
READ BEFORE USING YOUR HUMIDIFIER
1) 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 into a polarized
120-volt AC,15-amp 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 electri-
cian. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. If an extension cord must
be used, it should also accept the wide blade plug and meet this electrical
rating.
2) Do not place the cord under rugs, in traffic areas, or near heat sources.
3) Do not use the humidifier if the cord is damaged.
4) Always unplug the power cord before cleaning, servicing, or
when the unit is not in use.
5) Do not place the humidifier near loose drapes, combustible materials, or
heat-producing objects.
6) This humidifier is UL approved with Bemis by Essick Air brand evaporative
wicks in place. To maintain your UL rating, see your service center for all
repairs. Use only Bemis by Essick Air brand replacement wicks and chemi-
cals. To order parts, wicks, and chemicals call 1-800-547-3888.
7) Regular cleaning is recommended. Refer to the CARE & MAINTENANCE
section in this manual.
8) It is very important that cleaning solutions and other liquids, such as
bleach, which may be used to clean the cabinet are not sprayed or
applied to the power pak/chassis assembly. These cleaning solu-
tions can cause a serious electrical malfunction of the humidifier.
