General Safety Instructions - Kenmore 2.0 & 3.5 gallon warm mist humidifier 997.151230 Owner's Manual

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• As with all electrical appliances, be sure to follow basic
safety procedures to minimize risk of injury.
• To avoid electrical shock or fire, be sure to plug into a 120v
AC outlet only. Make sure the plug is fully inserted.
• The power cord has a polarized AC plug, which will fit into
the outlet one way only (one blade is wider than the other).
If the plug will not insert fully with the outlet you are using,
try reversing the plug. If the plug still fails to fit, call an
electrician to replace the older outlet. Never alter the plug to
fit into an obsolete outlet. Doing so may compromise safety.
