IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS/WARNINGS
CAUTION: Read rules for safe operation and instructions carefully.
When using any electrical appliance, basic safety precautions must be
followed in order to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock and/or injury
to persons or property. Be sure to read all instructions before using this
appliance and observe the following safety tips:
1. To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not use this fan with
any solid state speed control device (e.g. a dimmer switch).
2. This product must be grounded properly when plugged in. If the
unit should malfunction or break down, a grounded power cord will
keep you safe. This product is equipped with a grounded power
cord. Plug into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
3. This fan is provided with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
built into the power supply cord. This device provides additional
protection from the risk of electric shock. Should replacement of
the plug or cord become necessary, use only identical replacement
parts that include GFCI protection.
4. Do not leave the fan running unattended.
5. Do not use the fan where it may get wet from rain, sprinklers, etc.
Water could leak inside of the unit and damage the internal
components.
6. Do not insert anything through the fan cover, especially while the
fan is running.
7. Before using the unit, check if the voltage indicated corresponds
with the intended outlet (120V).
8. Connect power after the fan is fully assembled.
9. Unplug from the outlet when not in use, when moving the fan from
one location to another, before putting on or taking off parts, and
before cleaning.
10. Be sure the fan is on a stable surface when operating to avoid it
falling over, and ensure the power cord is not a trip hazard.
11. Do not use any appliance with a damaged cord or plug. Discard fan
or return to an authorized service facility for examination and/or
repair if the power cord or plug are damaged.
12. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with or
around the appliance.

13. This product employs overload protection (fuse). A blown fuse
indicates an overload or short-circuit. If the fuse blows, unplug
the product from the outlet. Replace the fuse as per the user
servicing instructions and check the product. If the replacement
fuse blows, a short-circuit may be present and the product should
be discarded or customer service should be contacted
immediately.
14. Press the TEST button (then RESET button) on the power cable
GFCI box once every month to ensure proper operation.
15. Risk of Fire: Do not replace or modify any part of the power cord,
GFCI or wall plug. Do not remove the fuse unless you are
replacing it. If any of these parts are damaged, contact customer
service immediately.
16. Place the fan on a level surface. Plug the grounding type
attachment plug into a standard 120V AC 3-Pring wall outlet.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1. Disconnect from the electrical socket during cleaning or initial
assembly.
2. To ensure adequate air circulation to the motor, keep the vents
at the rear of the motor housing clear of dust, dirt, etc. Unplug
the fan before using a vacuum cleaner or compressed air to
clean the grilles. It should not be necessary to disassemble the
fan to clean it.
3. Wipe the exterior housing of the fan with a soft cloth soaked in
a mild detergent. Do not use any abrasive detergents or
solvents to avoid damaging the surface. Do not use gasoline,
thinner, or bending to clean the fan.
4. Do not allow water or any other liquid into the motor housing or
interior parts.
5. When dismantling the fan (we recommend following the
assembly instructions in reverse), be sure to clean each of the
components before storage. Allow all parts to dry completely
before storing.
6. To test the GFCI feature, press the "TEST" button. The fan
should immediately shut off as if the GFCI has been tripped.
Press the "RESET" button and the fan should be able to be
turned on again, and the light on the GFCI box should light up
orange. If it does, then the unit (as well as the GFCI feature)
are functioning normally.
7. If the fuse in the power cord plug needs to be replaced, follow
these instructions:
a) Pull the power plug from the outlet, being careful not to
pull from the cord.
b) Slide open the fuse access cover.
c) Remove the fuse slowly and carefully by inserting a small
tool into the fuse slot and prying it out. When one side of the
fuse has been lifted out, you will be able to remove it entirely.
d) Only replace the fuse with 5 Amp / 125 Volt fuses. Using an
incompatible fuse may cause a fire.
e) Close the fuse cover.
f) Caution: Do not attempt to replace the plug or the power
cord itself. Only replace a broken fuse with a compatible fuse.
If any part of the plug or cord are damaged, contact customer
service for assistance.

11
USER SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Grasp plug and remove from the receptacle or other outlet
device. Do not unplug by pulling on cord.
2. Open fuse cover. Slide open fuse access cover on top of
attachment plug towards blades.
3. Remove fuse carefully. Insert the tip of your tool into fuse
slot (close with the terminal), then prize the fuse gradually
and slowly, but not overexert. If you feel tight, you can try it
at several times and prize the fuse little by little. When one
side of the fuse has been prized, then you can get the fuse
out entirely.
4. Risk of fire. Replace fuse only with 5 Amp, 125 Volt fuse.
5. Close fuse cover. Slide closed the fuse access cover on top
of attachment plug.
6. Risk of fire. Do not replace attachment plug. Contains a
safety device (fuse) that should not be removed. Discard
product if the attachment plug is damaged.
MISTING NOZZLE MAINTENANCE
If the misting nozzles become clogged, unscrew them from the
fan grille and soak in vinegar or a lime scale remover until they
are clear of buildup. Use a non-metallic brush to scrub them if
necessary. If the nozzles remain obstructed, contact customer
service for replacement.
Warning: never try to clear the nozzles with pins or other sharp
objects as this can cause damage to the nozzles, affecting their
efficiency.
If the misting hose valve becomes clogged, unscrew the head of
the valve and flush it with running water to clear debris. Make
sure the screen inside the misting hose is clean as well.
