All of these precautions are critical in terms of safety. Follow them at all times.

Graphic symbol Indications: Indicates content that could lead to death or injury if handled incorrectly.

⚠ CAUTION ? PROHIBITED ❗ INSTRUCTIONS THAT MUST BE FOLLOWED

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 electrical outlet 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 electrical outlet 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.
• Insert the power plug securely all the way into the electrical outlet.
• Regularly remove dust from the power plug.
• When dust is allowed to build up, insulation is hampered due to moisture, which can cause fire or electric shock.
• Use only 120 V~. Other current/voltage can cause fires.
• Do not use if the power cord or the power plug is damaged, or if the power plug is loose when plugged into the electrical outlet. Doing so can cause fire or electric shock due to short-circuit.
• Do not run the cord under carpeting. Do not cover the cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings. Do not run the cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange the cord away from high traffic areas and where it will be tripped over.
• Do not operate any fan with a damaged cord or plug. Discard fan or return to an authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.

Do not damage the power cord.

• Damaging, modifying, forcefully bending, pulling, twisting, putting heavy objects, or pinching can damage the power cord, which can cause fire or electric shock.
• Do not use if the power cord is bundled up. Doing so can cause fires. Always extend the cord out before using.
• Do not pull on the power cord when carrying or storing the product. Pulling on the power cord can cause fire or electric shock.

Abnormalities and malfunctions can cause smoke, fire, or electric shock.

Stop use immediately, cut power, and unplug from the electrical outlet when abnormalities or malfunctions occur.

Examples of Abnormalities:

• Abnormal sounds or odors.

User Servicing Instructions.

• If the fuse on your fan has blown, grasp the plug and remove it from the outlet. Do not pull the cord to unplug.
• To open, slide the fuse cover towards the prongs of the plug.
• Carefully remove the old fuse and snap the replacement fuse into place. To reduce the risk of fire, only replace the fuse with another fuse of the proper rating (2.5 A, 125 V~). Slide the fuse door back into place to close. Discard the blown fuse. The plug should now be ready for normal use.
• To reduce the risk of fire, do not replace the attachment plug if it is damaged. Only the fuse should be replaced. Discard the product if the attached plug is damaged.
