•Disconnect the product from the electrical outlet before cleaning the unit or any of its components.

•Do not connect the AM-80 Air Purifier to an electric outlet using an extension cord. If there is no accessible outlet, a licensed electrician should install one.

(the carbon cord on the front air outlet) is touched.This is normal and presents no danger.This sensation may also be felt if you touch a person or a large metal object while your other hand is on the unit.

•WHEN NOT IN USE STORE OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN!

Do not operate this unit if an oxygen tent or similar concentrated oxygen generating device is present in the room, or in a work area with bottled gases. However, the unit is safe to operate near a well-maintained gas stove.

Warning

•Any service, other than regular cleaning, filter replacement or scent clip replacement, should be performed by an authorized service representative.

Failure to do so could result in loss of warranty.

•To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug

(one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact qualified personnel to install the proper outlet.

Do not alter the plug in any way.

•If the supply cord becomes damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
