ments of the Humidifier.

stances must the grounding prong be cut off the plug. Where a two-
prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must be replaced with a
properly grounded three-prong receptacle installed in accordance
with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local
codes and ordinances. This work must be done only by a qualified
electrician, using copper wire only.
