The precautions listed here are described under classification of Warnings and Cautions, and are intended to prevent harm or damages to users and other persons. All of these precautions are critical in terms of safety. Please follow them at all times.
Graphic Symbol Indications: Indicates content that could lead to death or injury if handled incorrectly.
Disassembly prohibited.
- Do not disassemble, repair, or modify. Doing so can cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
- Repair by persons other than trained repair technicians can be dangerous.
- Warning: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this product with any solid-state speed control device.
Product use.
- Use on a level, stable floor. Placing product on uneven and unstable floors can cause the product to fall over, leading to injury or damage to property in the vicinity of the product.
- Place the product in locations where it will not get entangled in curtains or hoisting strings, etc. Failing to do so can cause damage to articles near the product.
- Always grasp the power plug to unplug it, do not unplug it by pulling on the power cord. Pulling on the power cord can damage it, which can cause fire or electric shock.
- Always unplug the power plug from the electric socket when the product will be unused for extended periods of time. Failing to do so can lead to fire or electric shock caused by short-circuits due to reduced insulation.
- This product employs overload protection (fuse). A blown fuse indicates an overload or a short-circuit. If the fuse blows, unplug the product from the outlet. Replace the fuse as per the user servicing instructions (follow product marking for proper fuse rating) and check the product. If the replacement fuse blows, a short-circuit occurred and the product should be discarded or returned to IRIS USA, Inc. for inspection and/or repair.
Unplug.
- Unplug the power plug from the electric socket when performing maintenance, inspecting, or moving the product.
- This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
- Grasp the plug and remove from the receptacle or other outlet device. Do not unplug by pulling on the cord.
Use power plugs and power cords correctly.
- Failing to do so can cause fire or electric shock due to short-circuits.

Placement
Placement Guidelines
- Place the product on a level floor or table free of any obstructions.
- Place the product in locations where it will not come in contact with direct sunlight, or hot air from air conditioning or heating appliances. Such contact can cause the product to deform, change color, or malfunction.
- Do not place the product near the radio or TV. The product may cause noise on radio and affect the TV signal.
Usage Scenarios
Use with Air Conditioner
Diagram shows the fan placed in front of an air conditioner, circulating cold air. Placing the product in front of an air conditioner to circulate cold air accumulated below creates air flow and provides better cooling.
Use with a Heater
Diagram shows the fan directing airflow towards a room corner with a heater, circulating warm air. Sending air flow to corner of the room where the A/C source is, to circulate warm air accumulated above, warms feet.
Circulation
Diagram shows the fan directing airflow towards the ceiling for general room circulation. Sending air flow toward the ceiling reduces room air temperature variations.
Ventilation
Diagram shows the fan placed by an open window or door, drawing outside air in and sending inside air out. Placing the product by a window or a door draws outside air in and sends in-room air out.
Two-room Circulation
Diagram shows the fan placed in an open doorway, circulating air between two rooms. Placing the product in an open doorway circulates air between two rooms.
Drying Laundry
Diagram shows the fan directing airflow towards hanging laundry to aid drying. Hanging laundry directly in the path of the air flow helps it dry quicker. Do not place underneath dripping clothes as water droplets on the product may cause electric shock or short-circuiting.
