IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:

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

This product complies with the maximum allowable concentration of ozone of 0.050 parts per million by volume (ppmv) in a 24-hour period. The Health Canada Guideline 2010 recommends that the maximum exposure limit, based on an averaging time of 8 hours, is 0.020 ppmv or less when tested in a sealed, controlled room approximately 30 m3.

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, FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, 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, and 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.

_ NOTE: Dust particles may accumulate on surfaces around the air purifier when the ionizer is in use. These dust particles can be vacuumed or wiped away with a soft, damp cloth.
NOTE: You may hear occasional popping sounds when the ionizer is used. This is normal.
NOTE: The ionizer produces less ozone than the UL-established limits of 0.05 ppm. Ozone may be harmful around birds and small pets. To prevent ozone buildup, use the ionizer feature in a well-ventilated area._

NOTE: Do not leave a filled 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.

ADDING ESSENTIAL OILS

WARNING: PUTTING OIL ANYWHERE BUT THE OIL TRAY WILL DAMAGE THE AIR PURIFIER.

The oil tray is located on the side of the air purifier.
Push to open and remove the tray
Place 1 aroma pad (3 included) into the oil tray.
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.
Place the oil tray back in its compartment andpush to close. The scent will start automatically when the air purifier is turned on.
