(or appropriately sized) box.

the fan head from dust.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should

always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury

to persons, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. To avoid fire or shock hazard, plug the appliance directly into 

a 120 V AC electrical outlet.

3. Keep the cord out of heavy traffic areas.  DO NOT let the cord 

hang over the edge of a table or counter.  To avoid fire hazard, 

NEVER put the cord under rugs, near heat registers, radiator, 

stoves, or heaters.

4. To protect against electrical hazards, DO NOT immerse in water or 

other liquids.  Do not use near water.

5. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or 

near children, 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.

7. Avoid contact with moving parts.  DO NOT operate without fan 

grills properly in place.

8. DO NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, if 

motor fan fails to rotate, after the appliance malfunctions, or if it 

has been dropped or damaged in any manner.  Return appliance to

manufacturer for examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment,

or repair.

9. DO NOT operate in the presence of explosive and/or flammable 

fumes.

10. Use appliance only for intended household use as described in this

discard the manual and hardware needed for assembly.

Step 2: Pass the power cord through the channel of the stand, 

and firmly clasp the two halves of the stand together. 

Insert the base into the bottom of the housing being careful

to align the corresponding holes.

Step 3: Gently turn the fan upside down, with the top of the fan

touching the floor. Screw the stand into the bottom portion of

the fan housing, by using the 2 thumb screws that come with

the fan.
