Vornado Dehumidifier EVAP40 User Manual

4 English

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:

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the 
other).  To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to 
fit in polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in 
the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified 
electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

†

 Do read all instructions before using this Humidifier.

†

 Do turn the Humidifier off if the relative humidity exceeds 60%. 

Humidity levels above 60% may allow moisture to build up indoors 
and condense on surfaces, where microorganisms can settle and 
grow. For accurate humidity readings, use a hygrometer which is 
available at most hardware stores and home centers.

†

 Do unplug the Humidifier prior to moving, cleaning or refilling.

†

 Do unplug and empty this Humidifier when not in operation.

†

 Do empty water from the unit if the Humidifier is to be turned off 

and left for more than 8 hours, as leaving the water will encourage 
the growth of microorganisms. If this happens, thoroughly 
clean and disinfect the unit. (Refer to the CLEANING AND 
MAINTENANCE.)

†

 Do remove the Water Tanks first if you need to move the Humidifier 

to another location.
