always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury

to persons, including the following:
1) Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2) To avoid fire or shock hazard, plug the appliance directly into a

120 V AC electrical outlet.

hang over the edge of a table or counter. To avoid fire hazard,

NEVER put the cord under rugs, near heat registers, radiator,

stoves, or heaters.

other liquids. Do not use near water.

5) Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or

near children, or by disabled people.

6) Always unplug the fan before moving it, putting on or taking off

parts, cleaning, or whenever the fan is not in use. Be sure to pull

by the plug and not the cord.

7) Avoid contact with moving parts. DO NOT operate without fan

grills properly in place.

8) DO NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, if

motor fan fails to rotate, after the appliance malfunctions, or if it

has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance

to manufacturer for examination, electrical or mechanical

adjustment, or repair.

fumes.

WALL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: On the underside of the fan’s clip there are

“KEY SLOTS” (2).

Select a suitable spot on a wall (away from curtains, draperies, or

heat sources) where you want to mount the fan. Use a No. 10 pan

head wood screw (1 1/4” length) and thread into a 2x4 wood stud

behind the dry wall. Please refer to the warning below if you are

unable to locate a wood stud in the wall.

When threading the screw into the wall, leave approximately 1/4”

clearance between the screw and wall. This will allow the clip’s “KEY

SLOTS” to fit easily and securely over the screws. If necessary, the

screw may be tightened further to ensure the fan is firmly attached

to the wall.

WARNING: WHEN MOUNTING THE FAN TO PLASTER, DRYWALL OR

SHEETROCK, YOU MUST USE A MOLLY BOLT, OR SIMILAR FASTENER.

DOING SO WILL PREVENT THE FAN FROM BECOMING DISLODGED

WHILE IN OPERATION.

FAN STORAGE

In the off-season:

•

IMPORTANT: Keep your fan in a safe dry location, where the fan

is not likely to fall or be crushed.

•

Your fan should be stored fully assembled.

•

Remember to protect the fan head from dust or moisture.
