AIR CLEANER SAFETY

READ AND SAVE THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons.These precautions include:

•Read all instructions before using the appliance.

•To avoid fire or shock hazard, plug the appliance directly into a 120V AC electrical outlet.

•If the filter is covered by a bag when shipped, remove plastic bag before use.

•Keep the cord out of heavy traffic areas. To avoid fire hazard, NEVER put the cord under rugs, near heat registers, radiators, stoves, or heaters.

•To protect against electrical hazards, DO NOT immerse the appliance in water or other liquids. Do not use near water.

•Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children, or disabled persons.

•Always unplug the air cleaner before moving or cleaning the unit, opening the grill, changing the filters and whenever the unit is not in use. To disconnect the unit, be sure to pull the plug and not the cord.

•NEVER drop or insert any objects into the openings of the unit.

•Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug. If the motor fan fails to operate or the unit has been dropped or damaged in any manner, return appliance to manufacturer for examination and/or repair.

•Use appliance only for intended household use as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by Jarden Consumer Solutions may cause hazards.

•DO NOT use outdoors.

•NEVER place on a soft surface such as a bed or sofa

as this could cause the unit to tip over and block the air inlet or outlet grills.

•Keep unit away from heated surfaces and open flames.

•DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust any electrical or mechanical functions on this unit. Doing so will void your warranty. The inside of the unit contains no user serviceable parts. All servicing should be performed by qualified personnel only.

•WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, DO NOT use this appliance with any solid-state speed control device.

•DO NOT place anything on top of unit.

•NEVER use detergents, gasoline, glass cleaner, furniture polish, paint thinner, or other household solvents to clean any part of the appliance.

•Always turn the appliance off before unplugging it.

•The ionizer may cause a static charge to build up on the air outlet grill. A static charge may be felt if the unit is not properly grounded. To avoid a static charge, plug the unit's three-prong plug into a grounded outlet, or properly install a ground adaptor (see PLUG SAFETY). The static charge will not occur if the ionizer is off.

•The ionizer in this appliance produces less ozone than the UL established limits of 50ppb. However, in high concentrations, ozone can be harmful to birds and small pets. To prevent ozone buildup, we suggest using the ionizer in well ventilated areas with the fan on.

•This appliance should only be used in a room with temperatures between 40° F and 110° F.
