Congratulations on your purchase of the Natural
Cascade™ Humidifier Featuring the unique use of
pump driven water circulation, this unit provides
exclusive features that no other humidifiers offer
IMPORTANT INFORMATION and FEATURES
Your Natural Cascade^M 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.
EXCESSIVE HUMIDITY CAN OFTEN LEAD TO
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
Natural Cascade''^'^ 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 output automatically
decreases to help prevent damaging condensation.
The Watershow Viewing Window and Water Tank provide
a visible way for you to know that your Natural Cascade^'^
Humidifier is operating. As air passes over the Filters, the
humidity in the room will increase, and the water level in
the Unit will begin to decrease.
Unlike misting humidifiers, the Evaporative Filters in your
Natural Cascade Humidifier^*^ also trap unwanted minerals
that reside in normal tap water. This filtering also assures
there is NO WHITE DUST dispersed into the air.
NOTE: A few droplets of water may be present
in your Humidifier as a result of our quality
testing prior to packaging and shipment.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, especially where
children are present, basic precautions should always hk
followed in order to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock
and injury to persons... Including the following:
1. To prevent possible electrical shock, always turn
Humidifier off and unplug before filling, servicing or
moving.
2. Always place Humidifier on a stable, flat, level
surface. Locate Power Cord so the Humidifier or other
objects are not resting on it. Keep the Cord away from
room traffic.
3. Do not place Humidifier near a heat source such as
stoves, radiators or heaters.
4. This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of
electrical shock, this plug is designed to fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If plug does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to
defeat this safety feature.
5. Never tilt or attempt to move the Humidifier while it is
operating.
6. Always direct air flow away from walls or furniture as
excessive moisture may cause damage.
7. Humidifiers require regular cleaning to maintain proper
operating conditions. Refer to Cleaning instructions for
proper cleaning procedures.
8. Do not place Humidifier on an electrical appliance.
FILLING and REFILLING
1. It is recommended that all Humidifiers be cleaned prior
to use. Please read Cleaning Instructions for Base
and Water Tank cleaning.
