surface where it cannot fall or
be pulled by the cord.
2. Plug the fan into a grounded
120-volt AC electrical outlet
(ordinary household current).

voltage of the fan is the same as
the power source before plug-
ging it into the power source.
3. Turn the fan “ON” or “OFF”
by rotating clockwise or coun-
terclockwise the Power/Speed

4. To select the speed, move the
Power/Speed Control from OFF
to the desired speed setting:
O (off), I (low), II (medium), III
(High).
5. To control the upward and
downward direction of airflow,
loosen the screw on the side of
the fan housing neck. Adjust to
the desired angle and tighten
the screw.
6. To make the fan oscillate, push
the oscillation knob down. To
stop oscillating, pull the oscil-
lation knob up. The oscillation
knob is located on the top of the
fan housing, near the handle.

fan, while holding the top pole
securely with one hand, loosen
the grip on the telescoping pole
by twisting counterclockwise.
While supporting the fan motor,

let. Wipe off excess dust with a
lintfree cloth.
2. To ensure adequate air circu-
lation to the motor, keep vents
