This fan is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade
wider than the other). This plug fits into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety
feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the
plug should still fail to fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of polarized plug.
•
NEVER connect the fan to any power sources other than a 120 volt alternating current
polarized outlet.
•
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock. DO NOT use this fan with any solid-state
speed control and DO NOT insert finger or any object into grill.
