840115700 Ev00.qxd 6/6/03 8:58 AM Page 3 Consumer Safety Information This appliance is intended for household use only. This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug has one blade wider than the other. The plug will fit into an electrical outlet only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by modifying the plug in any way. If a longer cord is necessary an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the humidifier. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over. Do Not Over-humidify Do not over-humidify. The suggested level for the best health benefit is 50%. Some units can be set for desired humidity ranges from 20 to 90%, but care should be taken not to overhumidify, which will be dependent on both the construction of your home and the outside weather conditions. Do not allow water to condense on walls, floors, or windows as water damage could result. If you see these conditions occur, lower the desired humidity level on the humidifier or turn the unit off. Hamilton Beach/ProctorSilex, Inc. will not be responsible for damage caused by water. Before First Use Be sure to remove all packing materials. Choose a flat, level, water-resistant location for the humidifier that will allow for good air circulation and that is not accessible to children. Do not place the humidifier where it or its cord presents a tripping or stumbling hazard, or where the air vents are blocked. 3
