IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:

WHEN USING ELECTRICAL PRODUCTS, ESPECIALLY WHEN CHILDREN ARE PRESENT, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

DANGER – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK:

• Always unplug the air purifier from the electrical outlet immediately after using and before cleaning or replacing filters.
• Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
• Always place the air purifier on a firm, level surface.
• Always place the air purifier at least 6 inches away from walls and 3 feet from heat sources, such as stoves, radiators, or heaters.
• DO NOT reach for an appliance that has fallen into water. Unplug it immediately.
• DO NOT place or store appliance where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.
• DO NOT place in or drop into water or other liquid.
• Keep dry — DO NOT operate in wet or moist conditions.
• Check your air purifier cord and plug connections. Faulty wall outlet connections or loose plugs can cause the outlet or plug to overheat. Be sure the plug fits tightly in the outlet.
• When replacing filters, only use manufacturer recommended replacement filters.

NOTE: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of shock, this plug is intended to fit only one way in a polarized outlet. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
CAUTION: DO NOT attempt to defeat this safety feature. To do so could result in an electric shock hazard.

WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF BURNS, ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE, OR INJURY TO PERSONS:

• Always unplug the air purifier when not in use.
• DO NOT operate the air purifier with a damaged cord or plug, or after the air purifier malfunctions, or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return to a Homedics Service Center for examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment, or repair.
• This air purifier is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas, or similar moist indoor locations.
• DO NOT run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings.
• DO NOT route cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange cord away from traffic areas where it can be tripped over.
• To disconnect the air purifier, first turn controls to the off position, then remove plug from outlet.
• DO NOT tilt or move the air purifier while it is in operation. Shut off and remove plug from outlet before moving.
• DO NOT insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause an electric shock or fire, or damage the air purifier.
• DO NOT block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not use on any soft surface, like a bed, where openings may become blocked.
• Use this air purifier only for its intended use as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
• DO NOT use outdoors.
• WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons: DO NOT use replacement parts that have not been recommended by the manufacturer (e.g. parts made at home using a 3D printer).
• This product is intended for household use only.
• WARNING: Skin or eye damage may result from directly viewing the light produced by the lamp in this apparatus. Always disconnect power before relamping or servicing. Replace lamp with Homedics lamp model No. PP-APT200UVBLB at Homedics.com.

HOW TO USE THE OIL TRAY

WARNING: Putting oil anywhere but the oil tray will damage the air purifier.

1. The oil tray is located on the back of the air purifier.

2. Push to open and remove the tray.

3. Use the 1 preinstalled essential oil pad in the oil tray (3 total included).

4. Add 5–7 drops of essential oil to the pad.
   You may use more or less depending on personal preference.
   WARNING: Only place essential oil on the pad and NOT directly into the tray.

5. Place the oil tray back in its compartment and push to close.
   The scent will start automatically when the air purifier is turned on.

NOTE: For use with the included Homedics essential oil pads only.
NOTE: Do not leave a used essential oil pad in the oil tray if it will be out of use for a long period of time.

ARE ESSENTIAL OILS SAFE TO USE AROUND PETS?
We should always exercise caution when using essential oils around our pets. Keep all essential oil and aromatherapy products (like diffusers) out of reach of pets. Keep open bottles away from pets to avoid internal consumption. We do not recommend the topical use of essential oils on pets, as they have a strong sense of smell and cannot get rid of the oil if they don’t like it or it is disturbing them. When diffusing essential oils around pets, always diffuse in a well-ventilated area and leave an option for them to remove themselves from the space, such as leaving a door open. Every animal is different, so carefully observe how each animal responds when introducing an essential oil for the first time. If irritation occurs, discontinue the use of the essential oil. We recommend seeking medical attention if ingestion of essential oil occurs.
