When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be fol-
lowed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the
following:

edge of a table or counter. To avoid fire hazard, NEVER put the cord under
rugs, near heat registers, radiators, stoves, or heaters.

liquids. Do not use near water.

or by disabled people.
6) Always unplug the fan before moving it, putting on or taking off parts, cleaning,
or whenever the fan is not in use. Be sure to pull by the plug and not the
cord.

in place.
