IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS – OPERATING MANUAL
GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
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.
Read all instructions before using this Fan.
- Make certain the power source conforms to the electrical requirements of the Fan.
- Make certain that the room is equipped with a working smoke detector.
- 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 persons.
- To reduce the risk of personal injury and electric shock, the Fan should not be played with or placed where small children can reach it.
- Unplug the power cord before installing, servicing, or moving the Fan
- This Fan must NOT be used in potentially dangerous locations such as flammable, explosive, chemical-laden, or wet atmospheres where gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored.
- DO NOT use the Fan in or near a window. Rain may create an electrical hazard.
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 a polarized outlet only one way. Match the wide blade of the plug to the wide slot. Fully insert. 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.
This plug is a safety feature to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury. DO NOT remove, replace, repair, or tamper with the originally supplied plug. If the Fan does not function properly, it may be due to the safety device incorporated in this plug. Return to an authorized service center or call 800-233-0268, Monday – Friday, between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. EST. If the plug warning label is missing or damaged, call the toll-free number for a replacement label. - Where possible, avoid the use of extension cords because the extension cord may overheat and cause a fire. If you must use an extension cord, minimize the risk of overheating by using the shortest cord possible and ensuring that it is UL-listed. NEVER use a single extension cord to operate more than one Fan. DO NOT plug the Fan into any other cord-connected device, such as a power strip, cord reel, surge protector, multiple outlet adapters, or outlet-type air fresheners. The use of such devices may create a fire hazard.
- NEVER operate any Fan with a damaged cord or plug or after the Fan malfunctions, has been dropped, or damaged in any manner. There are nuser-serviceable parts. Return the Fan to an authorized service facility for examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment, or repair.
- NEVER insert or allow fingers or foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening, as it may cause an electric shock or fire, or damage the Fan. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT block or tamper with the Fan in any manner while it is in operation.
- Always place the Fan on a stable, flat, level surface when operating, to avoid the chance of the Fan overturning. Locate the Power Cord so that the Fan or other objects are not resting on it. DO NOT run the Power Cord under carpeting. DO NOT cover the Power Cord with throw rugs, runners, or the like. Arrange the Power Cord away from room traffic and where it will not be tripped over.
- This Fan is not intended for use in wet locations. Never locate a Fan where it may fall into a bathtub or other water container. NEVER use a Fan where flammable liquids are used or stored.
- NEVER use a Fan outdoors.
