CORD AND PLUG INSTALLATION SAFETY  
INSTRUCTIONS  
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
1. To turn the humidifier on, switch the Slider Wheel (C) to  
produce the highest moisture level ( ). A lower setting  
will produce lower moisture level but with longer run  
time (for BU5000 and BU5100 only). The detailed  
settings for each model are shown as below:  
This appliance has a POLARIZED AC PLUG (one blade is  
wider than the other). To reduce the risk  
of electric shock, this plug is intended to  
fit in a 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 to install  
the proper outlet.

approved extension cord may be used. The electrical  
rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater  
than the rating of the humidifier. Care must be taken to  
arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the  
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by  
children or accidentally tripped over.
