READ AND SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS FAN

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:
FOR US MODELS ONLY – 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.

Use this fan only as described in this manual. Other use not recommended as it may cause fire, electric shock or injury to persons.
This product is intended for household use ONLY and not for commercial, industrial or outdoor use.
To protect against electric shock, do not place fan in window, immerse unit, plug or cord in water or spray with liquids.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of shock, this plug is intended to fit only one way in a polarized outlet. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
