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.
6. 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.![VICKS V750 Series WarmMist Humidifier
