IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed
to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and injury to persons, including
the following:
Read all instructions before using this Fan.
Warnings
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 another 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. Call 800-233-0268, Monday – Friday, between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Eastern for questions. If the plug warning label is missing or damaged, call the toll-free number for a replacement label.
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 the wide slot in the 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.
