THESE IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
THIS PRODUCT COMES FULLY ASSEMBLED AND IS READY
FOR IMMEDIATE USE.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Clip fan onto a dry, level surface.
2. Please make sure the power switch located on the
back of the motor housing is in the "Off" position.
Plug the cord into any standard 120-volt A/C outlet.
3. The SPEED is adjusted by moving the switch located
on the motor housing left or right to the desired
setting.
4. The OSCILLATION control knob is located on the top
of the fan motor housing. To start oscillation, push
the control knob down. To stop oscillation, pull the
control knob up.
WALL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: On the underside of the fanʼs clip there are
“KEY SLOTS” (2).
Select a suitable spot on a wall (away from curtains,
draperies, or heat sources) where you want to mount
the fan. Use a No. 10 pan head wood screw (1 1/4”
length) and thread into a 2x4 wood stud behind the dry
wall. Please refer to the warning below if you are
unable to locate a wood stud in the wall.
When threading the screw into the wall, leave
approximately 1/4” clearance between the screw and
wall. This will allow the clipʼs “KEY SLOTS” to fit easily
and securely over the screws. If necessary, the screw
may be tightened further to ensure the fan is firmly
attached to the wall.
WARNING: WHEN MOUNTING THE FAN TO PLASTER,
DRYWALL OR SHEETROCK, YOU MUST USE A MOLLY BOLT,
OR SIMILAR FASTENER. DOING SO WILL PREVENT THE
FAN FROM BECOMING DISLODGED WHILE IN OPERATION.
