IMPORTANT INFORMATION and FEATURES
Your Recirculating Console Humidier is an EVAPORATIVE TYPE
HUMIDIFIER. This means that the air being drawn through the
moistened filter naturally evaporates the water and disperses
INVISIBLE MOISTURE into the air. This type of humidier DOES
NOT PRODUCE MIST, WATER DROPLETS, STEAM OR EXCESSIVE
CONDENSATION associated with other types of humidiers.
EXCESSIVE HUMIDITY CAN OFTEN LEAD TO UNANTICIPATED
PROBLEMS. Air containing water droplets or mist can create a good
habitat for the growth of mold and mildew.
Misting units often oversaturate the air, while the Lasko Recirculating
Console Humidier reaches a maximum humidity output level
without oversaturating. With a properly operating Evaporative
Humidier, the evaporation rate increases naturally when the air
is dry. When the humidity in your home is high, moisture output
automatically decreases to help prevent damaging condensation.
The Watershow Viewing Window provides a visible way for you to
know that your Recirculating Console Humidier is operating. As
air passes over the lter, the humidity in the room will increase, and
the water level in the Unit will begin to decrease.
Unlike misting humidiers, the Evaporative Filter in your Recirculating
Console Humidier also traps unwanted minerals that reside in nor-
mal tap water. This ltering also assures there is NO WHITE DUST
dispersed into the air.
DO NOT pour water
into Grill. DO NOT spill
water on Control Panel.
Water should only be
poured into the Unit
using the Jug.

RECIRCULATING CONSOLE HUMIDIFIER Model 1128
NOTE: A few droplets of water may be present in
your humidier as a result of our quality testing
prior to packaging and shipment.
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to
persons, including the following:
1. Make certain that the power source conforms to the electrical
requirements of the Humidifier.
2. Where possible, avoid the use of extension cords. If you must
use an extension cord, minimize the risk of overheating by us-
ing the shortest cord possible and ensuring that it is UL Listed.
NEVER use a single extension cord to operate more than one
appliance
3. Do not insert fingers or foreign objects into the Humidifier. Do not
block or tamper with the Humidifier in any manner while it is in
operation. NEVER tilt or attempt to move the Humidifier while it is
operating.
4. Always unplug the Humidifier before filling, servicing or moving
the Humidifier.
WARNING: DO NOT DEPEND ON THE ON/OFF KNOB AS THE
SOLE MEANS OF DISCONNECTING POWER WHEN FILLING,
SERVICING or MOVING THE HUMIDIFIER. ALWAYS UNLPUG
THE POWER CORD.
5. This Humidifier is intended for general use only. It must NOT
be used in potentially dangerous locations such as flammable,
explosive, chemical-laden or wet atmospheres.
WARNING: REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK -
DO NOT USE THIS HUMIDIFIER WITH ANY SOLID STATE SPEED
CONTROL DEVICES.
6. Always place the humidifier on a stable, flat level surface when
operating, to avoid the risk of the Humidifier overturning. Locate
the power cord so the Humidifier or other objects are not resting
on it. Keep the power cord away from room traffic.
7. Do not place Humidifier near a heat source such as stoves,
radiators or heaters.
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. Match wide blade of
plug to wide slot. Fully insert. 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.
This plug is a safety feature, to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock and personal injury. DO NOT remove, replace, repair or
tamper with the originally supplied plug. If the Fan does not
function properly, it may be due to the safety device incorpo-
rated in this plug. Return to an authorized service center or call
800-233-0268, Monday - Friday, between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
EST. If the plug warning label is missing or damaged, call the toll
