READ & SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Shock hazard: Use this fan only in dry environments. This fan
is not intended for use in a bathroom, laundry area, or similar
locations, or near sinks, washing machines, swimming pools
or other sources of water. Never locate fan where it may fall
into a bathtub or other water receptacle. Do not use in damp
environments such as ooded basements.
Hot surfaces: Do not touch fan motor when in use. This motor
is hot when in use, to avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot
surfaces.
Fire hazard: Fans have arcing or sparking parts inside. Do
not use near combustible materials or ammable gases or
sources of heat. DO NOT USE in areas where gasoline, paint or
ammable materials are used or stored. To prevent a possible
re, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do
not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or
exhaust opening as this may cause an electric shock, re, or
damage the fan.
Electrical shock hazard: Do not use with damaged cord or
plug. Use with adequate electrical system that is up to code.
To prevent electric shock: Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock, check with a qualied electrician or service person if
you ar in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance – if it will
not t the ouet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualied
electrician.
To reduce the risk of re or electric shock: Do not use this
product with any solid-state speed controls.
WARNING
Use only extension cords that are rated for outdoor use.
Extension cords in poor condition or that are too small in wire
size can pose re and shock hazards. To reduce the risk of these
hazards when using an extension cord, be sure it is in good
condition and that the connection does not come into contact
with liquid. To keep power loss to a minimum, use the following
table to choose the minimum wire size extension cord.
Extension Cord Length Wire Gauge A.W.G.
0-50 feet 14
50-100 feet 12
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides
a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk
of electric shock. The fan must be connected to a cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that
is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment
grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the cord or
plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
conductor to a live terminal. Check with a qualied electrician
or service person if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the fan is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug connected to the
fan – if it will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualied electrician.
FOR GROUNDED, CORD-CONNECTED FAN RATED LESS
THAN 15A AND INTENDED FOR USE ON A NOMINAL 120V
SUPPLY CIRCUIT
The fan is for use on a nominal 120V circuit, and should be
connected to a grounding outlet that looks like that illustrated
in Figure A. A temporary adaptor, which looks like the adaptor
illustrated in Figure B, may be used to connect this plug to a
2-pole receptacle as shown in Figure B if a properly grounded
outlet is not available. The temporary adaptor should be used
only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualied electrician. The green colored rigid ear, plug, and
the like, extending from the adaptor must be connected to a
permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box
cover.
Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be held in place by the
metal screw.
NOTE: IN CANADA, THE USE OF A TEMPORARY ADAPTOR
IS NOT PERMITTED BY THE CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE.

SAFETY & PRECAUTIONS
CONTINUEDCONTINUED
Ensure that the fan is connected to an outlet having the same
conguration as the plug.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS WITH FAN
Only use a grounded extension cord that is rated at least 15 Amps
and has a third-wire ground. When a long extension cord is
used to connect the fan, a voltage drop occurs. The longer the
cord, the greater the voltage drop. This results in less voltage
being supplied to the fan and increases the amount of current
(Amp) draw or reduces performance. A heavier cord with a
larger wire size will reduce the voltage drop. Be sure to choose
a cord that will supply enough voltage to operate the fan. The
table below indicates appropriate gauge for extension cords.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
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 ts tightly in outlet. A loose connection
may cause overheating and damage to the plug or fan.
Speed control: Twist the switch on the control box to turn the
fan on or and select dierent speeds.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
WARNING: Before cleaning the fan be sure to
disconnect power cord from the plug. Clean the grille surface
with a clean damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemical or abrasive
cleaners.
WARNING: DO NOT IMMERSE THE FAN OR ANY
WIRES IN WATER. Replace front grille before fan use and allow
fan to dry completely before use. Periodic grille cleaning with
a vacuum prevents dust build up. The motor is sealed and does
not require any interior maintenance, cleaning or lubrication.
MAINTENANCE
The internal motor bearings are permanently lubricated at the
factory and do not require any additional lubrication.
REPAIR
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE FAN WITHOUT
THE GRILLE IN PLACE. DO NOT USE THE FAN IF IT HAS
MALFUNCTIONED OR BECOME DAMAGED IN ANY WAY.
STORAGE
Keep original carton for storage of the fan. Coil and tie the
power cord to avoid damage during storage.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY
FROM MOVING PARTS AND/OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK,
TURN POWER SWITCH OFF AND DISCONNECT GROUNDED
PLUG FROM ELECTRICAL OUTLET BEFORE PERFORMING
TROUBLESHOOTING CHECKS.
Minor problems often can be xed without calling customer
service.
NOTE: To prevent overloading a circuit, do not plug the fan
into a circuit that is servicing other electrical needs.
