C 5/12 4 2084400 EVAPORATIVE HIGH PERFORMANCE DIGITAL RECIRCULATING HUMIDIFIER Model 1000 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Congratulations on your purchase of the evaporative High Performance Digital Recirculating Humidifier. Featuring the unique use of pump driven water circulation, this unit provides exclusive features that no other humidifiers offer. IMPORTANT INFORMATION and FEATURES Your Recirculating 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. 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. Excessive moisture may cause damage. 7. Humidifiers require regular cleaning to maintain proper operating conditions. Refer to CLEANING section for proper cleaning procedures. 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 Humidifier reaches a maximum humidity output level without oversaturating the air. 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 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 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. ASSEMBLY CAUTION: DO NOT fill unit before assembling. 1. Remove Water Jug then Upper Housing from base of Unit. (Figure 1) 2. Lay base of Unit on its side so the bottom of the unit is facing you. Figure 1 Water Jug Upper Housing 3. Fully insert the four Castors into the Holes in the bottom of the Unit. (Figure 2) IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 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. Hole Figure 2 Base Castor 4. Replace Upper Housing, then Water Jug into Unit. Rev. C 5/12 DO NOT pour water into Grill. DO NOT spill water on Control Panel. Water should only be poured into the Unit using the Jug. 1 2084400
