HOW TO USE

CARE AND CLEANING

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in
order to avoid a hazard.

This appliance is for household use and may be plugged into a 230V
AC electrical outlet (ordinary household current).

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place fan base on firm, stable surface such as a table or
countertop.

2. Mount the rear grille to the motor housing by matching the round
holes in the rear grille (one at the top, one at the bottom) to the
round pins on the front of the motor housing. Push in firmly until
the pins protrude through the holes.

3. Secure the rear grille to the motor housing by placing the plastic
collar over the thread hub around the motor shaft and turning
collar clockwise to tighten.

4. Push blade into the shaft pin firmly in place until it cannot be
pulled out.

LINE CORD SAFETY TIPS

1. Never pull or yank on the cord or the appliance.

2. To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.

3. To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.

4. Before each use, inspect the line cord for cuts and/or abrasion
marks. If any are found, this indicates that the appliance should
be serviced and the line cord replaced. Please return it to our
Service Department or to an authorized service representative.

5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could
place undue stress on the cord where it enters the appliance
and cause it to fray and break.

DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY
DAMAGE, OR IF APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS
WORKING ENTIRELY.

IMPORTANT:

During the first few minutes of initial use, a slight odor may be
noticeable. This is normal and will quickly disappear.

This appliance requires little maintenance and contains no user
serviceable parts. Do not try to fix it yourself. Refer it to qualified
service personnel if servicing is needed.

The fan is permanently lubricated and will not require additional
lubrication for the life of the fan.

TO CLEAN: Before cleaning, turn fan off and unplug from electrical

outlet. Wipe off excess dust with a lint-free cloth. To ensure
adequate air circulation to the motor, keep vents located at the rear
of the motor housing free from dust accumulation. A vacuum
cleaner hose can be used to clean these vents. Do not immerse fan
in water or any other liquid. Disassemble grilles and blade. Grilles
and blade may be cleaned with mild soap and water. Use a soft,
slightly damp cloth to wipe the remaining fan parts. Do not allow
water or any other liquid to get into the motor housing or base.
Reassemble fan after grilles and blade have dried completely. Do
not plug fan into electrical outlet until it has been fully reassembled.

TO STORE: Make sure to disassemble and clean the fan before
storing. Retain the original packaging for the purpose of storing the
fan. Always store fan in a dry place. Never store it while it is still
plugged in. Never wrap the cord tightly around the fan, and do not
put any stress on the cord where it enters the fan housing, as it
could cause the cord to fray and break.

5. Please refer to the enclosed instruction sheet for details on how
to assemble the front grille.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place the fan on a safe, flat surface where it cannot fall or be
pulled by the cord.
