Safe Use Warnings

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and injury to persons, observe the following:

• To reduce the likelihood of circuit overload, fire, and electric shock, do not operate with a solid-state speed device, such as a dimmer control switch.
• Do not operate any fan with a damaged cord or plug. Discard the fan or return it to an authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.
• Do not operate the unit if it has been dropped or if damage is apparent to any part of the unit. To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do not attempt to repair or replace parts. Only original replacement parts may be used. Contact (833.800.8669) or (help@sihomecomfort.com) for further instructions about replacement and repair.
• Risk of fire: Your appliance may be equipped with a detachable power supply or a cord/plug with a safety device such as a fuse. Use only the power cord and plug provided.
• Before plugging the power cord into an electrical outlet, ensure that all electrical information on the rating label, including voltage, is compatible with your outlet's power supply.
• Never use the cord as a handle or otherwise yank, strain, or stretch the power cord.
• Do not sit or stand on the product.
• While the product is plugged in, do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any input or output opening, as this may cause risk of electric shock or fire, or damage the product.
• A loose fit between the wall outlet (receptacle) and the plug may cause overheating and distortion of the plug. Discontinue use of the product in this outlet. Contact a qualified electrician to replace loose or worn outlets.
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way.

• Do not open the appliance housing while the product is plugged in. To avoid risk of shock, all service and/or repairs must be done by an Authorized Service Center.
• Risk of fire: Do not replace the attachment plug. It contains a safety device (fuse) that should not be removed. Discard the product if the attachment plug is damaged.
• This product employs overload protection (fuse). A blown fuse indicates an overload or short-circuit situation. If the fuse blows, unplug the product from the outlet.

5. Remove the fuse by using the screwdriver to gently lift each end of the fuse. (See Figure B).
6. Install the replacement fuse by using the screwdriver to gently push each metal end of the fuse into the receptacle one at a time. Do not push on the center of the fuse, as it is fragile and may break.

Battery Replacement

Your tower fan remote includes one 3V CR2032 coin-style battery. The battery comes pre-installed. Remove the battery pull tab before first use.

1. For battery replacement, the remote requires one coin-style 3V CR2032 battery. Always use the correct size and grade of battery for this product.
2. To replace the battery, open the battery door on the back side of the remote control. You will need to loosen the small screw on the door using a #1 Phillips screwdriver. If necessary, clean the battery contacts and also those of the device prior to battery installation. Remove any plastic protection from the battery and place it in the remote with the '+' side facing out. Ensure the battery is installed correctly with regard to polarity. Replace the battery door and screw.

Remove batteries from the remote control when not in use for an extended period of time. Always remove dead batteries immediately and replace with fresh ones. Do not store dead batteries in the remote.

Cleaning & Storage

Your fan will need regular cleaning. The fan has no user-serviceable parts inside and cannot be opened for cleaning. Never clean the product in any manner other than instructed in this owner's guide.

1. Power off and unplug the unit prior to cleaning.
2. Dust or wipe the fan with a damp cloth.
3. Use the brush attachment on your household vacuum cleaner to vacuum any accumulated dust.

The motor is permanently lubricated and requires no oiling.

During the off-season or after extended periods of non-use, you may choose to store your fan. To ensure long life of the product, it is recommended to store your fan by following these instructions:

1. Unplug the power cord and bundle it loosely.
2. Cover the fan, or place it back in its retail carton if available. This prevents the fan from accumulating dust over time.
3. Store the fan in a cool and dry location.
