IMPORTANT INFORMATION and FEATURES
Your Recirculating Humidifier is an EVAPORATIVE TYPE
HUMIDIFIER. This means that the air being drawn through
the moistened filter naturally evaporates the water and
disperses INVISIBLE MOISTURE into the air. This type of
humidifier DOES NOT PRODUCE MIST, WATER DROPLETS,
STEAM OR EXCESSIVE CONDENSATION associated with
other types of humidifiers.

UNANTICIPATED PROBLEMS. Air containing water droplets
or mist can create a good habitat for the growth of mold
and mildew.
Misting units often oversaturate the air, while the
Lasko Recirculating Evaporative Humidifier reaches a
maximum humidity output level without oversaturating.
With a properly operating Evaporative Humidifier, the
evaporation rate increases naturally when the air is dry.
When the humidity in your home is high, moisture out-
put automatically decreases to help prevent damaging
condensation.
The Watershow Viewing Window provides a visible way for
you to know that your Humidifier is operating. As air passes
through the filter, the humidity in the room will increase, and the
water level in the Unit will begin to decrease.
Unlike misting humidifiers, the Evaporative Filter in your
Recirculating Humidifier also traps unwanted minerals that
reside in normal tap water. This filtering also assures there
is NO WHITE DUST dispersed into the air.

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to
persons, including the following:
1. Make certain that the power source conforms to the electrical
requirements of the Humidifier.
2. Where possible, avoid the use of extension cords. If you must
use an extension cord, minimize the risk of overheating by us-
ing the shortest cord possible and ensuring that it is UL Listed.
NEVER use a single extension cord to operate more than one appliance
3. Do not insert fingers or foreign objects into the Humidifier. Do not
block or tamper with the Humidifier in any manner while it is in
operation. NEVER tilt or attempt to move the Humidifier while it is
operating.

SOLE MEANS OF DISCONNECTING POWER WHEN FILLING,
SERVICING or MOVING THE HUMIDIFIER. ALWAYS UNLPUG
THE POWER CORD.

be used in potentially dangerous locations such as flammable,

7. Do not place Humidifier near a heat source such as stoves,
radiators or heaters.
