How Does Your Evaporative Misting Fan Work? The hotter it is the better it works!
Your fan provides outdoor cooling through evaporation. Evaporative cooling is a very simple
process. Water requires thermal energy to evaporate. As the mist evaporates, it draws the
heat out and results in immediate temperature reduction. The effectiveness of the cooling
process improves as the temperature rises. At above 85F° is the ideal temperature to feel the
optimal cooling effects. If your humidity level is above 85%, this reduces the effectiveness of
evaporative cooling. Your temperature-cooling drop varies depending on temperature and
humidity, but cooling over 25 degrees can result under optimal conditions.
VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:

This product is intended for household use only and not for commercial or industrial use.

Close supervision is necessary when this product is used near children.

Do not operate in the presence of explosives and/or flammable fumes.

DANGER:
Do not submerge motor in water or allow motor to be exposed to water. Personal injury and/or
death could result.
Never handle the fan or motor with wet hands or when standing on wet or damp surface or in
water. Fatal electrical shock could occur.
WARNING:
Risk of electrical shock —This fan is supplied with a grounding conductor and GFCI type plug.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, make sure that it is connected only to a PROPERLY
grounded outlet.
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES REMOVE THE POWER SUPPLY CORD GROUND
PRONG OR GROUND FAULT UNIT. For your personal safety, the fan must be grounded. The
fan is equipped with a power supply with ground fault circuit interrupting device. Removal or
tampering of power cord will void warranty.
NEVER USE AN EXTENSION CORD TO CONNECT THE FAN TO AN OUTLET. All
installations must be made into a grounded outlet.
Electric shock hazards
—may cause severe personal injury or death. For your safety, turn off
the electrical power supply before installing, moving, or servicing your fan to avoid any possible
electrical shock hazards. Never make adjustments to the fan when in power is on.
UNPLUG THE FAN WHEN NOT IN USE.
To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not use this fan with any solid state speed
control device. This appliance has a 3-prong plug. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this
plug is intended to fit in an outlet only one way. If this does not fit the outlet, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to bypass this procedure.
CAUTION: Read and follow all instructions before operating fan. Do not use fan if any part is
damaged.
