• Use this fan only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may
cause electrical shock, fire or injury to persons.
• Do not operate the fan with a damaged power cord or after the fan malfunctions or has been dropped in
any manner.
• Use of extreme caution is necessary when any fan is used by or near children, disabled persons or pets
and whenever the fan is left operating unattended.

to Reduce the Risk of Fire or Electric Shock, do not use this product with any
solid-state speed control device.
to Prevent Electric Shock,this product has a polarized two prong plug (one
blade is wider than the other) that must be fully inserted in to a matching properly grounded outlet. This plug
is designed to fit a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet,
reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this
safety feature.

USAGE
Fan Operation: Always operate the fan in the upright position following all instructions and recommendations
listed in this manual.
Fan Location: Place the fan in the area of the room that will provide proper fan cooling.
Fan Connection: Plug fan directly into 120 Volt A.C., 60 Hz wall outlet. Be sure plug fits tightly in outlet. A loose
connection may cause overheating and damage to the plug or fan.
Turning Fan On/O and Speed Selection:
1. Stable Position: Begin by ensuring the fan is placed on a stable and level surface.
2. Secure Connection: Plug the fan directly into a wall outlet with proper grounding. This establishes a safe
and reliable power source for the fan.
3. Starting the Fan: To initiate the fan’s operation, locate the POWER button and press it. This action will
activate the fan and begin operating at the default low speed.
4. Adjusting Fan Speed: To modify the fan’s speed, press the POWER button repeatedly until you reach your
desired speed setting. The available options are High, Medium, and Low. Each press of the button cycles
through these speed levels.
5. Turning the Fan O: When you want to stop the fan, continue using the POWER button to cycle through
the speeds until you reach the “OFF” position.
Disconnection for Storage: Whenever the fan is not in use, it’s advisable to unplug it from the outlet. This not
only conserves energy but also ensures the fan’s longevity.
Oscillation: Activating Oscillation: Locate the Oscillation Control Knob situated above the motor housing. To
initiate the oscillation feature, press the Oscillation Control Knob downward. This action will set the fan to move
from side to side, distributing air throughout the area. Stopping Oscillation: While the fan is oscillating in any
direction, simply pull the Oscillation Control Knob upward. This action will cease the oscillation function, keeping
the fan in its current position.
NOTE: To prevent overloading a circuit, do not plug the fan into a circuit that is servicing other electrical
needs.
