WARNING
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, these instructions and warnings should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock and injury to
persons:
Read all instructions before using this Fan.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR PERSONAL INJURY, ALWAYS FOLLOW
THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS:
DO NOT use this Fan to ventilate areas where flammable liquids or vapors are
used, stored or are present, including paints, gasoline, varnishes, floor
refinishing products or solvents. ALWAYS read and follow all warnings and
instructions on the containers for these products!
ALWAYS be sure the plug fits tightly into the outlet. When plugs fit loosely
into outlets, they may slip partially out of the outlet and create a poor
connection. This may cause outlets to overheat and create a potential fire
hazard. Outlets in this condition should be replaced by a qualified
electrician.
ALWAYS unplug the power cord when servicing, cleaning or moving the Fan.
DO NOT use the ON/OFF switch as the sole means of disconnecting power. NEVER
leave children unattended when the Fan is on or plugged in. ALWAYS turn off
and unplug the Fan when not in use.
BE CERTAIN that the power source for the Fan is 120V AC. DO NOT plug the
Fan into 240V or other power source.
The Blue Plug™ on your Lasko Fan is a safety feature. It contains a non-
replaceable safety device (fuse) that should not be removed or tampered with.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury, DO NOT attempt
to remove, replace, repair or tamper with the originally supplied plug. If the
Fan has stopped functioning, it may be due to the safety device incorporated
in this plug.
THIS FAN HAS A POLARIZED PLUG (one blade is wider than the other). This
plug is designed to fit into the outlet only one way.
Match the wide blade to wide slot in outlet and FULLY INSERT. DO NOT attempt
to bypass or defeat this safety feature. If the plug does not fit in the
outlet, consult a qualified electrician. The outlet may need to be replaced.
WARNING: Chemical Burn Hazard. Keep batteries away from children.
This product contains a lithium button/coil cell battery. If a new or used
lithium button/coin cell battery is swallowed or enters the body, it can cause
severe internal burns and can lead to death in as little as 2 hours. Always
completely secure the battery compartment. If the battery compartment does not
close securely, stop using the product, remove the batteries, and keep it away
from children. If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed
inside any part of the body, seek immediate medical attention.
The cells should be disposed of properly, including keeping them away from
children; even used cells may cause injury.
