LASKO 2265QM 20 Inch High Velocity Floor Fan or Wallmount Fan

GENERAL 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.

Make certain the power source conforms to the electrical requirements of the Fan.
Make certain that the room is equipped with a working smoke detector.
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 persons.
To reduce the risk of personal injury and electric shock, the Fan should not be played with or placed where small children can reach it.
Unplug power cord before installing, servicing, or moving the Fan.
WARNING
DO NOT DEPEND ON THE ON/OFF SWITCH AS THE SOLE MEANS OF DISCONNECTING POWER WHEN SERVICING OR MOVING THE FAN. ALWAYS UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. ALWAYS TURN OFF AND UNPLUG FAN BEFORE LEAVING THE AREA. NEVER LEAVE CHILDREN UNATTENDED WHEN THE FAN IS ON OR PLUGGED IN.
This Fan must NOT be used in potentially dangerous locations such as flammable, explosive, chemical-laden or wet atmospheres where gasoline, paint or flammable liquids are used or stored.
DO NOT use Fan in or near a window. Rain may create an electrical hazard.
Completely assemble Fan, according to instructions, before connecting to power supply.
The power cord is equipped with a three-prong grounded plug that must be inserted into a matching receptacle. Under no circumstances should the grounding prong be cut off the plug. Where a two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must be replaced with a properly grounded three-prong receptacle installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes and ordinances. This work must be done only by a qualified electrician, using copper wire only. This plug is a safety feature. It contains a safety device (fuse) that should not be removed. Discard product if the attachment plug is damaged. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury, DO NOT remove, replace, repair or tamper with the originally supplied plug. If the Fan does not function properly, it may be due to the safety device incorporated in this plug.
Where possible, avoid the use of extension cords because the extension cord may overheat and cause a fire. If you must use an extension cord, minimize the risk of overheating by using the shortest cord possible and ensuring that it is UL listed. NEVER use a single extension cord to operate more than one Fan. Do not plug Fan into any other cord-connected device, such as a power strip, cord reel, surge protector, multiple outlet adapters or outlet-type air fresheners. The use of such devices may create a fire hazard.
NEVER operate any Fan with a damaged cord or plug or after the Fan malfunctions, has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
NEVER insert or allow fingers or foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as it may cause an electric shock or fire, or damage the Fan. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT block or tamper with the Fan in any manner while it is in operation.
Always place the Fan on a stable, flat, level surface when operating, to avoid the chance of the Fan overturning. Locate the Power Cord so the Fan or other objects are not resting on it. Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings. Do not route cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange cord away from traffic area and where it will not be tripped over.
This Fan is not intended for use in wet or damp locations. NEVER locate a Fan where it may fall into a bathtub or other water container. NEVER use Fan where flammable liquids are used or stored.
NEVER use Fan outdoors.
This Fan is not suitable for use in agricultural facilities including areas where livestock, poultry or other animals are confined. Please refer to National Electric Code (NEC) Article 547-7 (2008), or applicable state or local codes or standards relating to electrical requirements for Agricultural Buildings. THIS FAN DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF NEC ARTICLE 547-7 (2008).
This Fan is not suitable for use in hazardous locations. Please refer to National Electric Code (NEC) Article 500 or applicable state or local codes or standards relating to electrical requirements for Hazardous locations. THIS FAN DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF NEC ARTICLE 500 (2008).

WARNING
REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK – DO NOT USE THIS FAN WITH ANY SOLID-STATE SPEED CONTROL DEVICES.

STAND AND CONTROL BOX ASSEMBLY

FAN CONTROL BOX MUST BE MOUNTED TO STAND BEFORE USING FAN.

Carefully remove the Fan from the plastic bag and the carton.
Align the two sides of the fan to the stand (Figure 1). By pressing in the stand buttons – push down until they lock in place.
CAUTION: Plastic or rubber tabs, like the feet on this unit, may stick to furniture surfaces and/or hardwood floors. The unit may leave a residue that could darken, stain or leave permanent blemishes on the finish of certain furniture surfaces, including wood surfaces, and/or hardwood floors.
Remove the holding screw from the rear of the fan control box.
Make sure wire from fan control box to motor is outside the stand leg and the grill as shown.
Insert the holding screw from the rear of the fan through the hole in the stand leg as shown.(Figure 2)
Align the fan control box with the holding screw.
Tighten the holding screw by hand. Do not over-tighten.
Plug the cord set into a 120-volt outlet.
WARNING
Be sure that the plug fits tightly into outlet. When plugs fit loosely into receptacles, they may slip partially or completely out of the receptacle with only the slight movement of the attached cord. Receptacles in this condition may overheat and pose a serious fire hazard; if covered by a curtain or drape, the fire hazard is even greater.
Turn the Fan on by selecting the desired speed with the Power Knob on the side of the Fan.
- 0 – Off
- 3 – High
- 2 – Medium
- 1 – Low
To adjust the vertical angle, tilt the Fan body forward or backward to the desired position.

QUICKMOUNT® SYSTEM

Your fan may be wall mounted using the new QuickMount ®wall bracket supplied with your fan. (Figures 3 and 4)

WALL BRACKET MOUNTING

Choose a mounting location that will allow the installation of hardware (not supplied) directly into wall studs or adequate structural support.
Using the wall bracket as a template, mark the hole locations on the wall after leveling the bracket.
Fasten wall bracket to the mounting surface using 2 appropriately sized fasteners. Drill pilot holes as necessary. (See Figure 3).
CAUTION: Check for electrical and/or gas lines before installing the wall bracket.

HANGING FAN ON WALL BRACKET

Hold fan in an upright position, just as it would sit on the floor.
Place back edge of stand in wall bracket hooks.
Slowly allow the stand to rotate downward so that rubber foot at front rest against the wall below the mounting bracket.
Tilt head of fan to desired angle.
