Tower Fan Safety Precautions Using your Tower Fan

Electrical Connection

This appliance should be properly

Ÿ

grounded for your safety. The power
cord of this appliance is equipped with
a three-prong plug which mates with
standard three prong wall outlets to
minimise the possibility of electrical
shock.

Do not under any circumstances cut or

Ÿ

remove the third ground prong from the
power cord supplied. For personal
safety, this appliance must be properly
grounded.

This appliance requires a standard 240

Ÿ

Volt AC ~/50Hz electrical ground outlet
with three-prong. Have the wall outlet
and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded. When a standard
2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is
your responsibility and obligation to
have it replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

The cord should be secured behind the

Ÿ

appliance and not left exposed or
dangling to prevent accidental injury.

The appliance should always be

Ÿ

plugged into its own individual electrical
outlet which has a voltage rating that
matches the rating label on the
appliance. This provides the best
perfo rma nce a nd al so preve nt
overloading house wiring circuits that
could cause a fire hazard from
overheated.

Never unplug the appliance by pulling

Ÿ

the power cord. Always grip the plug
firmly and pull straight out from the
receptacle.

Repair or replace immediately all power

Ÿ

cords that have become frayed or
otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord
that shows cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either end.

When moving the appliance, be careful

Ÿ

not to damage the power cord.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must

Ÿ

be replaced by the manufacturer, its
Service agent or a similarly qualified
person in order to avoid a hazard.

Make sure that the plug is fully inserted

Ÿ

into the wall socket before use.

DO NOT fold or put kinks in the supply

Ÿ

cable or place heavy objects on it. It
could lead to cable damage.

Extension Cord

Because of potential safety hazards

Ÿ

under certain conditions, it is strongly
recommended that you do not use an
extension cord with this appliance.
However, if you must use an extension
cord it must be checked and tested by
a qualified technician or service person.

The extension cord must be a VDE-

Ÿ

Listed, 3-wire grounding extension cord
that has a grounding plug and outlet
and that the electrical rating of the cord
is 220-240 Volts and at least 10
amperes.

1. Insert the main body into the base and turn
the base screws clockwise.

2. Screw the cord clamp to fix the cord at the
