To ensure the best performance from your fan, please read and save the following instructions.
WHEN USING ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES, BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE
FOLLOWED TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK AND INJURY TO PERSON,
INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
Read all instructions before using this product.
Use this fan only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the
manufacturer may cause fire, electrical shock or injury to person, and may void the warranty.
Always unplug unit before assembly, disassembly or cleaning.
Always unplug unit when not in use, when moving from one location to another and before
cleaning.
To disconnect, grip the plug and pull it from the wall outlet. Never yank the cord.
The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause
hazards.
Avoid contact with moving parts.
DO NOT operate this fan with a damaged cord or plug, after a malfunction, or if it is dropped or
damaged in any manner.
Do not operate the fan in the presence of explosive and/ or flammable fumes.
Do not place the fan or any parts near an open flame, cooking or other heating appliance.
Extreme caution is necessary when fan is used by or near children or invalids and
whenever the fan is left operating and unattended.
This product is intended for household use only and not for commercial or industrial use.
Do not use outdoors.
Always use on a dry level surface.
Do not operate if the fan housing is removed or damaged.
A loose fit between the AC outlet and plug may cause overheating of the plug. Have a qualified
electrician replace the outlet.
DO NOT run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners etc. Arrange cord
away from traffic areas and where it could be tripped over.
This fan is equipped with a polarized plug (a plug with one blade wider than the other). This plug
can only fit into the outlet one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug
fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact an electrician to
replace the outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of a polarized plug.
NEVER connect the fan to any power sources other than a 120-volt polarized outlet.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, DO NOT use this fan with any
solid-state speed control and DO NOT insert finger or any object into grill.
