When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce

the risk of fire, electrical shock and injury to persons, including the following:

DO NOT use this fan to ventilate areas where flammable liquids or vapors are used, stored or are present, including paints, gaso-

line, varnishes, floor refinishing products or solvents. ALWAYS read and follow all warnings and instructions on the containers for

these products!

ALWAYS be sure the plug fits tightly into the outlet. When plugs fit loosely into outlets, they may slip partially out of the outlet

and create a poor connection. This may cause outlets to overheat and create a potential fire hazard. Outlets in this condition

should be replaced by a qualified electrician.

ALWAYS unplug the power cord when servicing, cleaning or moving the Fan. DO NOT use the ON/OFF switch as the sole means

of disconnecting power. NEVER leave children unattended when the Fan is on or plugged in. ALWAYS turn off and unplug the

Fan when not in use.

BE CERTAIN that the power source for the Fan is 120V AC. DO NOT plug the Fan into 240V or other power source.

The Blue Plug™ on your Lasko fan is a safety feature. It contains a non-replaceable safety device (fuse) that should not be removed

or tampered with. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury, DO NOT attempt to remove, replace, repair or tamper

with the originally supplied plug. If the Fan has stopped functioning, it may be due to the safety device incorporated in this plug.

THIS FAN HAS A POLARIZED PLUG (one blade is wider than the other). This plug is designed to fit into the outlet only one way.

Match the wide blade to wide slot in outlet and FULLY INSERT. DO NOT attempt to bypass or defeat this safety feature. If the

plug does not fit in the outlet, consult a qualified electrician. The outlet may need to be replaced.
