IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS:

Thank you for choosing an Optimus fan. To ensure the best performance from your
Fan, please read and save the following instructions.
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:

Read all instructions before using this product.
Use this fan only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the

manufacturer may cause fire, electrical shock or injury to person, and may void the warranty.
Always unplug the unit before assembling, disassembling or cleaning.
Always unplug unit when not in use, when moving from one location to another and

before cleaning.
To disconnect, grip the plug and pull it from the wall outlet. Never yank the cord.
The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause

hazards.
Avoid contact with moving parts.
DO NOT operate this fan with a damaged cord or plug, after a malfunction, or is dropped or

damaged in any manner. Return the unit to Optimus Enterprise, Inc. for examination,

electrical or mechanical adjustment, or repair.
Do not operate this fan in the presence of explosive and/or flammable fumes.
Do not place the fan or any parts near an open flame, cooking or other heating appliance.
Extreme caution is necessary when fan is used by or near children or invalids and whenever

the fan is left operating and unattended.
This product is intended for household use only and not for commercial or industrial use. Do

not use outdoors.
Always use on a dry level surface.
Do not operate if the fan housing is removed or damaged.
A loose fit between the AC outlet and plug may cause over heating of the plug. Have a

qualified electrician replace the outlet.
DO NOT run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners or like.

Arrange cord away from traffic area and where it could be tripped over.
This fan is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade

wider than the other). This plug fits into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature.

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 polarized plug.
NEVER connect the fan to any power sources other than a 120 volt alternating current

polarized outlet.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock. DO NOT use this fan with any solid-state

speed control and DO NOT insert finger or any object into grill.

CLEANING/MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS:

During Season Care:

Before cleaning, be sure to turn off and unplug the unit.
Keep the fan clean. Carefully wipe the unit with a soft, damp cloth. Please be very

cautious near the motor.

DO NOT immerse the fan in water and never allow water to drip into the Motor

Housing.
Never use gasoline, benzene or thinner. This will damage the surface of the unit.
After cleaning, be sure to completely dry the unit with a cloth or towel.

After Season Care:

Your fan can be stored in the off-season.
Before putting the fan in storage, clean it thoroughly, cover it with a vinyl bag, and

store it in a cool and dry place. We recommend using the original (or appropriately

sized) box.

A loose fit between the AC outlet and plug may cause over heating of the plug. If the plug
over heats, it might cut off the fuse inside the power cord plug.
