•Always unplug unit when not in use, when moving from one location to another and
before cleaning.
•To disconnect, grip the plug and pull it from the wall outlet. Never yank the cord.
•The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause
hazards.
•Avoid contact with moving parts.

damaged in any manner. Return the unit to Optimus Enterprise, Inc. for examination, electrical
or mechanical adjustment, or repair.

•Do not place the fan or any parts near an open flame, cooking or other heating appliance.
•Extreme caution is necessary when fan is used by or near children or invalids and whenever the
fan is left operating and unattended.
•This product is intended for household use only and not for commercial or industrial use. Do not
use outdoors.
•Always use on a dry level surface.
•Do not operate if the fan housing is removed or damaged.
•A loose fit between theAC outlet and plug may cause over heating of the plug. Have a qualified
electrician replace the outlet.
•DO NOT run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners or like. Arrange
cord away from traffic area and where it could be tripped over.
•This fan is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade
wider than the other). This plug fits into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature.
If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should
still fail to fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of polarized plug.
•NEVER connect the fan to any power sources other than a 120 volt alternating current polarized
outlet.

speed control and DO NOT insert finger or any object into grill.
CLEANING/MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS:
During Season Care:
•Before cleaning, be sure to turn off and unplug the unit.
•Keep the fan clean. Carefully wipe the unit with a soft, damp cloth. Please be very cautious near
the motor.
•DO NOT immerse the fan in water and never allow water to drip into the Motor Housing.
•Never use gasoline, benzene or thinner. This will damage the surface of the unit.
•After cleaning, be sure to completely dry the unit with a cloth or towel.
After Season Care:

cool and dry place. We recommend using the original (or appropriately sized) box.
User Servicing Instructions:
This plug is a safety feature. It contains a safety device (fuse) that should not be removed. Discard
the 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. If the fuse fails, it
is generally due to a short circuit or circuit overload. Replace the fuse as per the instructions below. If
the replacement fuse fails, immediately unplug the unit and contact our technical support department
for assistance.
