- Before using the appliance, extend the cord and inspect for any signs of damage. DO NOT use the unit if the cord has been damaged.
- The appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) as a safety feature. This plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt to defeat this safety feature.
- To avoid fire or electric shock hazard, plug the appliance directly into a 120V AC electrical outlet.

Vicks Warm Mist Humidifier (Model V750)
How it Works:
The Vicks Warm Mist Humidifier is designed to quietly provide visible warm
moisture. The tank feeds water into the boiling chamber where it is heated to
a steam vapor. The steam vapor mixes with dry air in the mist chimney. The
warm moist air is released in the room.

can be purchased at most major retailers or through
