IMPORTANT INFORMATION and FEATURES

Your Recirculating Console 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.

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 Console Humidifier reaches a maximum humidity output level without oversaturating. 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 Console Humidifier is operating. As air passes over 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 Console Humidifier also traps unwanted minerals that reside in nor- mal tap water. This filtering also assures there isNO 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.

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. Match wide blade of plug to wide slot. Fully insert. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt to defeat this safety feature.

This plug is a safety feature, to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury. DO NOT remove, replace, repair or tamper with the originally supplied plug. If the Fan does not function properly, it may be due to the safety device incorpo- rated in this plug. Return to an authorized service center or call 800-233-0268, Monday - Friday, between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. EST. If the plug warning label is missing or damaged, call the toll free number for a replacement label.
