READ AND SAVE THESE IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
USING THIS FAN.

WHEN USING ELECTRICAL APPLI­ANCES, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED
INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

1. Use this fan only as described in

this manual. Other use not recom­mended may cause fire, electric shock
or injury.

2. This product is intended for house­hold use ONLY and not for commer-
cial, industrial or outside use.

3. This fan is rated for use as a win­dow fan. However, to protect against
electrical shock, do not immerse unit,
plug or cord in water or spray with
liquids.

4. This fan is equipped with a polar­ized alternating current line plug (a
plug having one blade wider than the
other). This plug will fit into the power
outlet only one way. This is a safety
feature. NEVER connect the fan to any
power source other than a 120 volt
alternating current polarized outlet. 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 obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety pur­pose of the polarized plug.

5. Close supervision is necessar y
when any appliance is used by or
near children.

6. Unplug the fan from the outlet when
not in use, when moving fan from one
location to another and before cleaning.

near an open flame, cooking or other
heating appliance.

or if dropped or damaged in any
manner. (See warranty.)

11. To disconnect, grip the plug and

pull it from the wall outlet. Never yank
the cord.

12. The use of attachments not recom­mended by the manufacturer may be
hazardous.

wall or ceiling.

is removed or damaged.

the plug. Have a qualified electrician
replace the outlet.
