IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: WHEN USING ELECTRICAL PRODUCTS, ESPECIALLY WHEN CHILDREN ARE PRESENT, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING DANGER - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK: • Always unplug the air cleaner from the electrical outlet immediately after using and before cleaning. • Keep cord away from heated surfaces. • Always place the air cleaner on a firm, level surface. • Always place the air cleaner at least six (6) inches away from walls and three (3) feet from heat sources such as stoves, radiators, or heaters. • DO NOT operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is being administered. • DO NOT reach for an appliance that has fallen into water. Unplug it immediately. • DO NOT place or store appliance where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink. • DO NOT place in or drop into water or other liquid. • Keep dry - DO NOT operate in wet or moist conditions. • Check your air cleaner cord and plug connections. Faulty wall outlet connections or loose plugs can cause the outlet or plug to overheat. Be sure the plug fits tightly in the outlet. 2 WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF BURNS, FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY TO PERSONS: • Extreme caution is necessary when any air cleaner is used by or near children or invalids and whenever the air cleaner is left operating and unattended. • Always unplug the air cleaner when not in use. • Do not operate the air cleaner with a damaged cord or plug, or after the air cleaner malfunctions, or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return to HoMedics Consumer Relations for examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment, or repair. • This air cleaner is not intended for use in bathroom, laundry areas and similar moist indoor locations. Never locate air cleaner where it may fall into a bathtub or other water container. • Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners or similar coverings.
