Safety Instructions
General Warnings (⚠️ WARNING)
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, always follow these important safety instructions and warnings:
- Do not use this fan in areas where flammable liquids or vapors are used, stored, or present, including paints, gasoline, varnishes, floor refinishing products, or solvents. Always read and follow all warnings and instructions on the containers for these products.
- Always ensure the plug fits tightly into the outlet. Loose plugs may slip partially out of the outlet and create a poor connection, potentially causing outlets to overheat and creating a fire hazard. Outlets in this condition should be replaced by a qualified electrician.
- Always unplug the power cord before servicing, cleaning, or moving the fan. Do not use the ON/OFF switch as the sole means of disconnecting power.
- Never leave children unattended when the fan is on or plugged in. Always turn off and unplug the fan when not in use.
- Be certain that the power source for the fan is 120V AC. Do not plug the fan into 240V or other power sources.
- The Blue Plug™ on your Lasko fan is a safety feature. It contains a non-replaceable safety device (fuse) that should not be removed or tampered with. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, do not attempt to remove, replace, repair, or tamper with the originally supplied plug. If the fan has stopped functioning, it may be due to the safety device incorporated in this plug.
- This fan has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug is designed to fit into the outlet only one way. Match the wide blade to the wide slot in the outlet and fully insert. Do not attempt to bypass or defeat this safety feature. If the plug does not fit in the outlet, consult a qualified electrician. The outlet may need to be replaced.
- To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, do not use replacement parts that have not been recommended by the manufacturer (e.g., parts made at home using a 3D printer).
Precautions (❗ CAUTION)
- Avoid the use of extension cords, power strips, power taps, outlet-style air fresheners, or other cord-connected devices, as these devices may overheat and cause a fire hazard.
- 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 route the power cord under rugs, carpets, runners, or furniture. This may damage the cord or cause it to overheat, creating a fire hazard.
- Always place the fan on a stable, flat, level surface while in operation to prevent the fan from overturning.
- Never insert or allow fingers or objects to enter grill openings while the fan is in operation, as injury and/or damage to the fan may occur.
- Do not block, cover, or obstruct airflow to or from the fan while in operation.
- Do not run the cord under carpeting. Do not cover the cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings. Do not route the cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange the cord away from traffic areas and where it will not be tripped over.
- Never use a single extension cord to operate more than one fan or other electrical device.
- Do not use this fan if it has been damaged or is not functioning properly.
- Remote controls for other appliances or electronic equipment can sometimes interfere with the operation of this fan. If this occurs, move the fan to another location.
- Keep the fan remote control unit away from chairs and your bed where it may be sat or laid upon and inadvertently turn on the fan.
