3.4 Warning
• Do not touch the blades, or let the power wires wrap around the fan, or pull the power wires with force to avoid
damaging the fan.
• Do not use in environments with flammable gases or any danger.
• When the fan is working, please do not try to lock the fan for a long time. If you do so, the fan will burn out due
to the high heat generated by the continuous stoppage.
• When assembling the fan, please pay special attention to the noise generated by resonance or vibration.
• Do not drop the Icecube Tower Cooler from height, as this may affect the balance of the fan’s blades.
