Do not use for any purpose other than described in this user guide.
-
Use only the manufacturer’s recommended accessories.

Do not use with damaged cord or plug.
-
If the appliance is not working as it should or has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, have it repaired at an authorized service center.

-
Do not run cord under carpeting.
-
Do not cover the cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings. Do not route the cord under furniture or appliances.

Arrange cord away from traffic areas so it will not be tripped over.

-
This model is for household use only. Plastic film can be dangerous. To avoid the danger of suffocation, keep away from children. Do not plug in your air purifier until you are familiar with all instructions and operating procedures. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, turn the power switch off and disconnect the polarized plug from the electrical outlet BEFORE performing maintenance or troubleshooting checks.
-
Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep openings free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce airflow. Keep hair, loose clothing, and fingers away from openings. Turn OFF device controls before unplugging the appliance.
Do not use appliances in an enclosed space filled with vapors given off by oil-based paint, paint thinner, moth-proofing substances, flammable dust, or other explosive or toxic vapors. Keep appliance on a level surface. Do not immerse the unit in waters or other liquids, do not pour liquids into or around the unit or openings. Do not use the appliance near water or in a damp or wet location. -
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. 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.
-
Do not use the appliance with any dimmer switch or solid-state speed control device.
