fan malfunctions or has been dropped in any manner.
• Use of extreme caution is necessary when any fan is used by or
near children, disabled persons or pets and whenever the fan is
left operating unattended.

which might allow fan to tip or fall.
• For proper operation, fan should be placed on a smooth,
non‑combustible, level surface.

• Do not use fan in window. Rain may cause electrical hazard
(for non‑window models).

electrical system that is up to code.
m CAUTION: to Prevent Electric Shock, this product
has a polarized two prong plug (one blade is wider than the
other) that must be fully inserted in to a matching properly
grounded outlet. This plug is designed to fit a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet,
reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

How to Assemble:
1. Unscrew the blade cap by turning it clockwise (reverse
thread) while holding the motor shaft to allow it to unscrew.
2. Unscrew the rear-locknut nut by turning it counter-clockwise.
3. Mount the rear guard (with the handle in the upright position
on the top) to the motor by matching the 3 holes on the rear
guard to the 3 matching pins on the motor front cover. Push
in firmly until the 3 pins protrude through the 3 holes.
4. Tighten the rear guard using the rear-locknut in clockwise
direction. Be sure that the rear-locknut is screwed in far
enough so the rear guard is tight against the motor front cover.
5. Insert the fan blade onto the motor shaft so the slots of the
blade align with the pins on the shaft. With the pins aligned
with the slots, tighten the blade with the blade cap by
turning it counter-clockwise (reverse thread).
6. Test the fan blade by rotating with your hand to make
sure there is no contact with the nut or rear guard. The fan
blade should rotate freely. Otherwise repeat all steps again
beginning with step one.
7. With the logo upright, mount front guard onto rear guard by
inserting hook clip on the top of front guard over the rear guard
perimeter edge. Secure the front guard with additional clips
attached to it. Do not operate the fan without guards in place.
Care and Maintenance
Cleaning: CAUTION-Before cleaning the fan be sure to
disconnect power cord from the plug. Clean the grille surface
with a clean damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemical or abrasive
cleaners. DO NOT IMMERSE THE FAN OR ANY WIRES IN
WATER. Replace front grille before fan use. Allow fan to dry
completely before use. Periodic grille cleaning with a vacuum will
prevent dust build up. The motor is sealed and does not require
any interior maintenance, cleaning or lubrication.
Maintenance: The Internal motor bearings are permanently
lubricated at the factory and do not require any additional
lubrication.
Repair: DO NOT OPERATE THE FAN WITHOUT THE GRILLE IN
PLACE. DO NOT USE THE FAN IF IT HAS MALFUNCTIONED OR
BECOME DAMAGED IN ANY WAY.
Storage: Keep original carton for storage of the fan. Coil and tie
the power cord to avoid damage during storage.
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.

device. Do not unplug by pulling on cord.
