IMPORTANT INFORMATION and FEATURES

Your Recirculating Console Humidifier 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 humidifier DOES

NOT PRODUCE MIST, WATER DROPLETS, STEAM OR EXCESSIVE

CONDENSATION associated with other types of humidifiers.

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 Humidifier reaches a maximum humidity output level

without oversaturating. With a properly operating Evaporative

Humidifier, 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 Humidifier is operating. As

air passes over the filter, the humidity in the room will increase, and

the water level in the Unit will begin to decrease.

Unlike misting humidifiers, the Evaporative Filter in your Recirculating

Console Humidifier also traps unwanted minerals that reside in nor-

mal tap water. This filtering 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 humidifier 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

free number for a replacement label.
