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.
•

with any solid-state speed control and DO NOT insert finger or any
object into grill.
