CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
THIS APPLIANCE HAS A POLARIZED
AC (ALTERNATING CURRENT) PLUG
(one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce the risk of electric shock, this
plug is intended to fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not
fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install
the proper outlet.
DO NOT DEFEAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE OF THIS
POLARIZED PLUG IN ANY WAY.
The length of the cord used on this product was selected
to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping
over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary an approved
extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the
extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating
of the fan. Care must be taken to arrange the extension
cord where it cannot be pulled on by children or accidentally
tripped over.

THESE IMPORTANT
INSTRUCTIONS
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 120V 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, radiators, 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.
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 manual. Any other use not recommended by the
manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons. The use of attachments not recommended or
sold by the manufacturer may cause hazards.
11. DO NOT use outdoors.
12. Always use on a dry, level surface.
13. Keep unit away from heated surfaces and open flames.
14. DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust any electrical or
mechanical functions on this unit. Doing so will void
your warranty. The inside of the unit contains no user
serviceable parts. All servicing should be performed by
qualified personnel only.
6. To oscillate the fan head, push the button marked
OSCILLATE « » on the remote, or OSCILLATE « »
on the control panel. Push a second time to stop oscillation.
7. This fan comes equipped with a 15 level speed-setting
timer. The first time you press the TIMER button « » it will
be set for a 1/2 hour. From there you can change the
TIMER by pressing the button which will increase one half
hour at a time, with the maximum time being 7.5 hours.
8. For a natural breeze movement, push the button
marked BREEZE « » on the remote control or
BREEZE « » on the control panel. This will vary the
fan speeds faster and slower. By pressing the BREEZE
button « » a second time, you activate the SLEEP
setting. This function will be random for the first few
hours, but will eventually slow the fan speed down, and
when used in conjunction with the timer settings, will
ultimately turn the fan off.
NOTE: The timer can be used in conjunction with
several other functions. For example: SLEEP + 4HR.
TIMER causes the fan to gradually slow down over 4
hours and eventually turn off.
INDEPENDENT IONIZING ACTION (FOR BT45RI ONLY)
Your Tower Fan comes equipped with an Independent
Ionizer feature that can be controlled from the control
housing or the remote. The Ionizer releases negative ions
into the outgoing air. These particles take on a negative
charge and may join with positively charged particles,
such as dust, and pollen. Over time, you may see a build
up of particles on the front grill. These can be removed
using a soft damp cloth as instructed in the
Cleaning/Maintenance section of your manual.
