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:

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, DO NOT immerse unit, plug, or cord in water, and DO NOT spray unit with liquids.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric 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.
Turn the fan OFF and unplug the fan from the outlet when not in use, when moving the fan from one location to another, and before cleaning.
To disconnect the fan, first turn the unit OFF, grip the plug and pull it from the wall outlet. NEVER pull the plug by the cord.
DO NOT operate the fan in the presence of explosive and/or flammable fumes.
DO NOT place the fan or any parts near an open flame, cooking, or other heating appliance.
DO NOT use any product with a damaged cord or plug, any product that malfunctions, or any product that has been dropped or damaged in any manner (see warranty).
Avoid contact with moving fan parts.
The use of attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may be hazardous.
Place the fan on a dry, level surface.
DO NOT hang or mount fan on a wall or ceiling.
DO NOT operate if the fan housing is damaged.
A loose fit between the AC outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause overheating and a distortion of the plug. Contact a qualified electrician to replace loose or worn outlet.
DO NOT operate any fan with a damaged cord or plug. Discard any damaged fan, or request a return authorization to return to Kaz USA, Inc. for examination and/or repair.
DO NOT run fan 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 areas and where it will not be a tripping hazard.

FUSED SAFETY PLUG – FOR US MODELS ONLY

This fan features a fused safety plug which is designed to cut off electric current to the fan if an electrical fault occurs. Please see below for more information on how to properly use your fan and replace the safety plug fuse, if needed.

USER SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS

If your fan loses power and you suspect that the fuse on your fan has blown, grasp plug and remove from the receptacle or other outlet device. DO NOT unplug by pulling on cord. · Slide fuse cover, located on the top of the plug, towards the prongs of the plug. (Fig. 1)
Carefully remove the blown fuse and snap a new fuse into place. To Reduce the Risk of Fire, replace fuse only with 2.5 Amp, 125 volt fuse. Fully close the fuse door by sliding back into place. (Fig. 2) Discard the blown fuse. The plug should now be ready for normal use.
To Reduce the Risk of Fire, DO NOT replace attached plug. Discard product if the attached plug is damaged.

INTRODUCTION

FOR ENERGY SAVINGS ALL YEAR
Honeywell Air Circulator Fans can help save energy and lower monthly bills all year round. Our air circulators increase distribution of cooler air from your air conditioner or warmer air from your heating system, creating a vortex of air flow for increased comfort. Increased air flow allows the air conditioner and heating systems to be used at lower settings to help save you money.

In the summer:
Circulate cool air by using with window or central air conditioning.

In the winter:
Circulate warm air. Position your air circulator in an open location for upward air movement. Run it on a low setting to move the hotter air from the ceiling and circulate the warmer air throughout the room.
In the winter:
Use with other heat sources, such as wood stoves, baseboard heaters, and/or vents to help circulate the warm air throughout the room.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

BASE ASSEMBLY
Align the front and back base pieces and gently push the halves until the pieces snap securely together. (Fig 3).
SECURING THE TOWER FAN TO THE BASE

At the base of the housing, remove the locking nut and set aside (Fig. 4)
Carefully lift the fan housing (Fig. 5) and place the power cord through the center of the base.
Lower the fan housing into the base (Fig. 6).
Take the locking nut and thread the power cord through the locking nut and move the nut up the power cord, (Fig.7). Attach the locking nut to the fan housing by turning clockwise until fully tightened.
The fan cord can exit either side of the base; choose which one is closer to your outlet. (Fig. 8)
The back of this fan is intentionally closed. This allows the air intake and exit to happen at the front grille. This aerodynamic cross-flow design harnesses the Turbo Force® power of your fan!
Note: DO NOT operate the tower fan unless it is in its proper, upright position.
