FUSED SAFETY PLUG

This product employs overload protection (fuse). A blown fuse indicates an overload or short-circuit
situation. If the fuse blows, unplug the product from the outlet. Replace the fuse as per the user
servicing instructions (follow product marking for proper fuse rating) and check the product. If the
replacement fuse blows, a short-circuit may be present and the product should be discarded or
returned to an authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.

USER SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS

If your fan loses power and you suspect that the fuse on your fan has blown, grasp plug and
remove from the receptacle or other outlet device. Do not unplug by pulling on cord.

• Slide fuse cover, located on the top of the plug, towards the prongs of the plug. (Fig. 1)

• Carefully remove the blown fuse and snap a new fuse into place. To reduce the risk of fire, replace
fuse only with 2.5 Amp, 125 volt fuse. Fully close the fuse door by sliding back into place. (Fig. 2)
Discard the blown fuse. The plug should now be ready for normal use.

• To reduce the risk of fire, do not replace attached plug. Contains a safety device (fuse) that should
not be removed. Discard product if the attached plug is damaged.

• If you need further information on how or when to replace the fuse in the safety plug, please
contact Guardian Technologies customer service.
