Make sure all electrical connections comply with
Local Codes or Ordinances and the National
Electrical Code (or the Canadian Electric Code). If you
are unfamiliar with electrical wiring please use a
qualified electrician.
WARNING
: If using this fan in a DAMP location,
this fan must be connected to a supply circuit that
is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) to reduce the risk of personal injury,
electrical shock or death.
Insert power cord securely into proper wall outlet.
WARNING
:
The power cord is equipped with a
three-prong grounded plug that must be inserted
into a matching receptacle. Under no circumstances
must the grounding prong be cut off the plug. Where
a two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must
be replaced with a properly grounded
three
-prong
receptacle installed in accordance with the National
Electrical Code (or the Canadian Electric Code) and
all applicable local codes and ordinances. This work
must be done only by a qualified electrician, using
copper wire only.
The three-prong plug is installed with a fuse that is
a vital safety device. A filament inside the fuse is
designed to melt and cut the circuit if the current
gets too high. This prevents damage to your fan
and the person using it and stops the power cord
from overheating to the point where it could
catch fire.
If you should need to replace the fuse, unplug fan.
Locate the fuse cover at end of the plug on the
power cord. Slide fuse cover open to expose fuse.
Using needle-nose pliers, remove fuse. Inspect
fuse--the small, glass tube with metal on each
end--to determine whether it will need to be
replaced. [If the fuse is blown, it will look dark and
smudged or the visible wire inside will be broken.]
Use a replacement fuse with a rating of 5 amps,
125 volts only and insert fuse in between the
metal brackets inside the fuse housing. Slide the
fuse cover completely back on.
