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 per the instructions
below 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.
HOW TO REPLACE THE FUSE
1. Unplug the fan from the outlet. Place the plug on a firm, flat surface.
Open the fuse cover, located on the top of the plug, using your thumb
or a flathead screwdriver to slide the over towards the prongs.
NOTE: Ensure that the fuse cover is completely open before attempting
to remove the fuse.
2. Remove the fuse carefully by using a small screwdriver to pry the fuse
out of the compartment by the metal ends of the fuse.
3. Risk of fire. Insert a new 2.5 Amp, 125 Volt fuse into the fuse compart-
ment, making sure that the fuse is securely in place.
4. Slide the fuse cover closed completely. If the fuse cover is difficult to
close, make sure the fuse is properly secured in place by pressing
down on the metal ends of the fuse.
CAUTION: Risk of fire. Do not replace the attachment plug. It contains a
safety device (fuse) that should not be removed. Do not use the product if
the attachment plug is damaged.
To avoid a risk of fire, only replace with a 2.5 Amp, 125 Volt fuse.

WARNING: This fan is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). The plug is in-
tended to fit into a power outlet only one way, with the wide blade in the wide slot. This is a safety feature; if
you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician.
DO NOT DEFEAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE OF THE POLARIZED PLUG.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Set the fan on a stable, level surface.
2. Turn the fan on by turning the control dial to the ON position. There are two
ON positions on the fan. Turning the control dial to either ON position will turn
on the fan on high speed (this fan has one speed level).
3. This fan is equipped with a smart motor and soft rubber blade design. If an ob-
ject or finger comes in contact with the blade, the soft blade and smart motor
will prevent injury. A regular fan motor will continue to run at full speed even
when it is met with resistance. This can cause injury or damage to the fan. The
smart motor on this fan will slow down when an object comes in contact with
the blade. When the object is moved, the motor will automatically start up again
at full speed.
4. To turn the fan off, turn the control dial to the OFF position.

the unit.

housing.
STORAGE
