This document is an instruction manual for the BLACK+DECKER 9" Frameless Box Fan, model number BFB09W. It provides comprehensive information on safety, setup, operation, maintenance, troubleshooting, and warranty details for the device.

Function Description

The BLACK+DECKER 9" Frameless Box Fan is designed to provide air circulation for household use. It features a compact, frameless design and offers multiple speed settings to suit different cooling needs. The fan is intended for indoor use only and is not suitable for outdoor environments or with solid-state speed control devices. Its primary function is to move air, helping to cool rooms or improve ventilation.

Important Technical Specifications

Model Number: BFB09W
Fan Type: 9" Frameless Box Fan
Power Source: Electrical (polarized plug)
Fuse Rating: 2.5 Amp, 125V (for overload protection)
Speed Settings: Three speeds (Low, Medium, High) and an Off setting.
Unit Dimensions (W x D x H): 10.9" x 4.25" x 10.9"
Net Weight: Approximately 3.97 lbs.
Electrical Requirements: This appliance uses a polarized plug, meaning one blade is wider than the other, designed to fit into a polarized outlet in only one way to reduce the risk of electric shock. If the plug does not fit, it should be reversed. If it still does not fit, a qualified electrician should be contacted, and no attempt should be made to modify the plug.
Power Supply Cord: If the power supply cord is too short, an extension cord should not be used. Instead, a qualified electrician or serviceman should install an outlet near the appliance. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, extreme care must be exercised. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance. The longer cord should be arranged to prevent it from draping over countertops or tabletops where it could be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

Usage Features

Ease of Use: The fan is designed for straightforward operation. After unpacking, it should be placed upright and is ready for use.
Speed Control: A speed control knob allows users to select from three different fan speeds: 1 (Low), 2 (Medium), and 3 (High). To turn the fan off, the control should be set to 'O'.
Portability: Its relatively light weight (3.97 lbs) and compact dimensions make it easy to move from one location to another. Users are instructed to disconnect the fan when moving it.
Safety Features: The fan incorporates overload protection via a fuse located in the power cord plug. If the fuse blows, it indicates an overload or short-circuit situation, and the fuse needs to be replaced according to the instructions. This mechanism is crucial for preventing electrical hazards.
Stable Operation: Users are advised to ensure the fan is on a stable surface during operation to prevent overturning.

Maintenance Features

Cleaning: Before cleaning, the fan must be unplugged from the electrical supply source. Plastic parts should be cleaned with mild soap and a damp cloth or sponge, followed by rinsing with clean water to remove any soapy film residue. It is crucial to prevent water or any other liquid from entering the motor. The fan should not be disassembled for cleaning.
Fuse Replacement: The fan's fuse, located in the power cord plug, is user-replaceable. To replace the fuse:
1. Disconnect the fan from the power outlet by grasping the plug, not the cord.
2. Open the fuse cover by sliding it towards the plug blades.
3. Carefully remove the old fuse using a small tool to pry out one end, then the other.
4. Replace with a similar 2.5 Amp, 125V fuse to avoid fire risk.
5. Close the fuse cover by sliding it towards the top of the plug.
- Caution: Users are explicitly warned not to attempt to replace the plug itself. If the plug is damaged, the product should be discarded entirely.
Troubleshooting: The manual includes a troubleshooting chart to help users identify and resolve common issues, such as the appliance not turning on. It suggests checking if the appliance is plugged in and if the fuse cover is closed. For more complex issues, users are directed to contact customer service rather than attempting internal repairs.
Customer Support: For questions or problems, users can visit www.blackanddecker.com/instantanswers or call 844-299-0879 (Mon-Fri, 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. EST). The catalog number (BFB09W) should be available when calling.
Warranty: The product comes with a limited warranty from W Appliance Co., covering defects in material, parts, and workmanship for a period of 1 year (12 months) for both labor and parts (manufacturing defects only). Warranty service requires dated proof of purchase, model number, and serial number. The warranty excludes damages from misuse, unauthorized repairs, power surges, and use in commercial or non-household settings, among other conditions.
