BAP825RC
should always be taken including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using appliance.
2. To avoid fire and shock hazard, plug the appliance
directly into an electrical outlet with the same voltage
as that indicated on the rating plate on your product.
3. If the filter is covered by a bag when shipped, remove
plastic bag before use.
4. Keep the cord out of heavy traffic areas. To avoid fire
hazard NEVER put the cord under rugs, near heat
registers, radiators, stoves or heaters.
5. To protect against electrical hazards DO NOT immerse
in water or other liquids. Do not use near water.
6. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is
used by, or near children or disabled persons. Children
should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
7. Always unplug the air purifier before moving it, opening
the grill, changing the filters or whenever the air purifier is
not in use. Be sure to pull by the plug and not the cord.
8. NEVER drop or insert any object into any openings.
9. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or
plug, if motor fan fails to rotate, after the appliance
malfunctions, or if it has been dropped or damaged in
any manner. Return appliance to manufacturer for
examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment or repair.
10.Use appliance only for the intended household use as
described in this manual. Any other use not recommended
by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury
to persons. The use of attachments not recommended or
sold by the manufacturer may cause hazards.
11.Do not use outdoors.
12.Never block the air openings, or place on soft surface,
such as bed or sofa, as this could cause the unit to
tip over thus blocking the air intake opening.
13.Keep unit from heated surfaces and open flames.
14.DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust any electrical or
mechanical functions on this unit. Doing so will void
the warranty. The inside of the unit contains no user
