IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 UNANTICI-
PATED 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 through 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 normal tap water. This filtering also assures there is
NO WHITE DUST dispersed into the air.
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, especially where children are
present, basic precautions should always be followed in order to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons.
Including the following:
1. To prevent possible electrical shock, always turn the unit
off and unplug before filling, servicing or moving.
2. Always place Humidifier on a stable, flat, level surface. Locate
Power Cord so the Humidifier or other objects are not resting
on it. Keep the Cord away from room traffic.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT pour water into Grill. DO NOT spill water on Control Panel.
Water should only be poured into the Unit using the Jug.
New 3/01 1 2084151
3. Do not place Humidifier near a heat source such as stoves,
radiators or heaters.
4. This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one prong is
wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this
plug is designed to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If plug
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to
defeat this safety feature.
5. Never tilt or attempt to move the Humidifier while it is operating.
6. Always direct air flow away from walls or furniture as excessive
moisture may cause damage.
7. Humidifiers require regular cleaning to maintain proper operating
conditions. Refer to CLEANING section for proper cleaning
procedures.
