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. Replace the fuse per the instructions
below and check the product. If the replacement fuse blows, a short-circuit may be present and the
product should be discarded or returned to an authorized service facility for examination and/or
repair.
HOW TO REPLACE THE FUSE
1. Unplug the fan from the outlet. Place the plug on a firm, flat surface.
Open the fuse cover, located on the top of the plug, using your thumb
or a flathead screwdriver to slide the over towards the prongs.
NOTE: Ensure that the fuse cover is completely open before attempting
to remove the fuse.
2. Remove the fuse carefully by using a small screwdriver to pry the fuse
out of the compartment by the metal ends of the fuse.
3. Risk of fire. Insert a new 2.5 Amp, 125 Volt fuse into the fuse compartment, making sure that the fuse is securely in place.
4. Slide the fuse cover closed completely. If the fuse cover is difficult to
close, make sure the fuse is properly secured in place by pressing
down on the metal ends of the fuse.
CAUTION: Risk of fire. Do not replace the attachment plug. It contains a
safety device (fuse) that should not be removed. Do not use the product if

WARNING: This fan is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). The plug is intended to fit into a power outlet only one way, with the wide blade in the wide slot. This is a safety feature; if
you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician.
DO NOT DEFEAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE OF THE POLARIZED PLUG.
