Important Safety Instructions - Vicks V4600 Manual De Uso Y Cuidado

WHEN USING ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES, BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED TO
REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND INJURY TO PERSONS, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
1. The appliance should always be placed
on a firm, flat, waterproof surface at least
four feet (1.2 m) away from bedside, six
inches (15 cm) from the wall and out of
reach of patients, children and pets. Be
sure the appliance is in a stable position
and the power cord is away from heated
surfaces and out of the way to prevent the
humidifier from being tipped over.
2. The appliance should not be left
unattended in a closed room since
air could become saturated and leave
condensation on walls and furniture.
Leave room door partly open. Do not
aim mist nozzle directly at children,
walls or furniture.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. To avoid fire or shock hazard, plug the
appliance directly into a 120V AC
electrical outlet.
6. The appliance should always be
unplugged and emptied when not in
operation or while being cleaned. Shut
off and unplug humidifier before moving.
Do not move or tilt humidifier while it is
in operation. Plug and unplug unit with
dry hands. Never pull by cord.
