When using electrical appliances, basic
precautions should always be followed to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and
injury to persons, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the Fan.
2. Make certain that the power source conforms to the
electrical requirements of the Fan.
3. Use the Fan only as described in these instructions. Any
other use not recommended by the manufacturer may
cause fire, electrical shock or injury to persons.
4. 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.
5. Unplug power cord before installing, servicing or
moving the Fan. Warning: Do not depend upon the
on-off switch as the sole means of disconnecting
power when installing or servicing the fan. Always
unplug the power cord.
6. This Fan must NOT be used in potentially dangerous
locations such as flammable, explosive, chemical-laden
or wet atmospheres.
7. DO NOT use Fan in or near a window. Rain may create
an electrical hazard.
8. Completely assemble the Fan according to the
assembly instructions on the reverse of this page before
connecting to power supply. Warning: this appliance
has a polarized plug (wide blade of plug to wide slot,
fully inserted). If the plug does not fit fully into the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this
safety feature. Warning: this plug is a safety device.
To reduce the risk of fire, 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 incorpo-
rated in this plug. Call 800-433-1626, monday-friday,
between 8:00 a.m. And 5:00 p.m. CST. If the plug
warning label is missing or damaged, call the toll free
number for a replacement label.
9. Where possible, avoid the use of extension cords. If
they must be used, minimize the risk of overheating by
ensuring that they are 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.
10. Do not operate any Fan with a damaged cord or plug
or after the Fan malfunctions, has been dropped or
damaged in any manner.
11. Do not insert or allow fingers or foreign objects to
enter any ventilation or exhaust opening, as it may cause
an electric shock, fire or damage the Fan. Do not block or
tamper with the Fan in any manner while it is in operation.
12. Always place the Fan on a stable, flat, level surface
when operating to avoid the chance of the Fan overturn-
ing. Locate the Power Cord so the Fan or other objects are
not resting on it. Do not run Power Cord under carpeting.
Do not cover Power Cord with throw rugs, runners, or the
like. Arrange Power Cord away from room traffic and
where it will not be tripped over.
