WARNING

1. This appliance has a polarized 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 plug

does not ﬁt fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not ﬁt, contact a qualiﬁed

electrician. DO NOT attempt to defeat this safely feature.

2. To reduce the risk of ﬁre or electric shock, DO NOT use fan with any solid-state speed

control devices.

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

1. Never insert ﬁngers, pencils, or any other object through the grill when fan is running.

2. Disconnect fan when moving from one location to another.

3. Disconnect fan when removing grills for cleaning.

4. Be sure fan is on a stable surface when operating to avoid overturning.

5. DO NOT use fan in window. Rain may create electrical hazard.

6. Ensure that the fan is switched off from the supply mains before removing the grill.

USER SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS (UL)

1. Grasp plug and remove from the receptacle or other outlet device.

DO NOT unplug by pulling on cord.

2. Open fuse cover. Slide open fuse access cover on top of attachment plug towards blades.

3. Remove fuse carefully. Insert the tip of your tool into fuse slot (close with the terminal),

then pry the fuse gradually and slowly, but not overexert. If fuse feels tight, you can try

again to carefully pry it out little by little. After one side of the fuse has been pried out,

you can remove the fuse entirely.

4. Risk of ﬁre. Replace fuse only with 2.5 Amp, 125 Volt fuse.

5. Close fuse cover. Slide the fuse access cover on top of the plug

until it is closed.

6. Risk of ﬁre. DO NOT replace attachment plug. Contains a safety device

(fuse) that should not be removed. Discard product if the attachment plug is damaged.

Note:

1. When you replace the fuse, please don’t operate suddenly or overexert, or else the

product may become damaged or cause accident.

2. If the plug does not go into the outlet easily, please make sure you have the plug turned

the right way.

maintenance.

2. Use only a soft, moist cloth with a soap solution.

3. DO NOT immerse the fan in water, and never allow water to drip into the motor housing.

4. DO NOT use a gasoline thinner or other chemicals to clean fan.

5. To dismantle for cleaning or long-term storage: Follow assembly instructions in reverse

order. The fan blade may be washed in warm water using a little mild detergent.

Alternatively it may be wiped clean with a soft damp cloth. Be sure it is completely dry

This document describes the Hurricane™ 16" Oscillating Wall Mount Fan, a device designed for household use to provide air circulation.

Function Description:

The Hurricane™ 16" Oscillating Wall Mount Fan is an electric fan primarily intended for air circulation in household environments. It features a 16-inch oscillating head, meaning it can sweep from side to side to distribute air over a wider area. The fan is designed for wall mounting, which helps save floor space and allows for optimal air distribution from an elevated position. It operates by drawing in air and propelling it forward, creating a cooling breeze. The fan includes a multi-speed control, allowing users to adjust the airflow intensity to their preference. An oscillation control feature enables the user to choose between a stationary airflow or a sweeping motion. The fan head can also be tilted up or down to direct the airflow vertically.

Important Technical Specifications:

Size: 16 inches (referring to the fan blade diameter or guard size).
Mounting: Wall mountable.
Power Input: 120 VAC, standard wall outlet.
Fuse: 2.5 Amp, 125 Volt fuse, integrated into the attachment plug for overload protection. This is a critical safety feature.
Control Type:
- Speed control via a pull chain (Low, Medium, High, Off).
- Oscillation control via a separate pull cord (on/off).
- Manual tilt adjustment for the fan head.
Safety Features:
- Polarized plug (one blade wider than the other) to reduce the risk of electric shock.
- Overload protection fuse in the plug.
- ETL Listed (Intertek) for safety compliance in the US and Canada.
- Guards to prevent contact with moving parts.

Usage Features:

Wall Mounting: The fan is designed to be mounted on a vertical wall at least 5 feet above the floor. Installation involves marking screw holes, drilling starter holes, inserting anchors (not included), securing a hanging bracket with provided screws, and then hanging the fan onto this bracket using its built-in female bracket on the fan base. It is crucial to ensure the fan base is flush with the hanging bracket and that the power cord is not pinched during installation. The manual explicitly warns against mounting the fan on a ceiling, an incline, or an angle.
Speed Control: The fan offers three speed settings (Low, Medium, High) controlled by a pull chain. A single pull turns the fan to Low, a second pull to Medium, a third pull to High, and a fourth pull turns the fan Off.
Oscillation Control: A separate pull cord controls the oscillation function. Pulling the cord down initiates oscillation, and pulling it again stops the oscillation, allowing the fan to remain stationary.
Tilt Adjustment: The fan head can be manually tilted up or down to direct airflow. Users are advised to switch off the fan before making tilt adjustments, holding the rear motor cover while doing so.
Polarized Plug: The fan is equipped with a polarized plug for safety. If the plug does not fit into the outlet initially, it should be reversed. If it still doesn't fit, a qualified electrician should be consulted, and users are warned not to defeat this safety feature.
General Operation: Users are instructed to plug the power cord into a standard 120-volt AC wall outlet. The fan should only be used as directed in the instructions to prevent fire, electrical shock, or injury. It is intended for household use, not commercial or industrial.

Maintenance Features:

Cleaning:
- Always disconnect the fan from the power outlet before cleaning or maintenance.
- Use a soft, moist cloth with a soap solution for cleaning.
- Do NOT immerse the fan in water or allow water to drip into the motor housing.
- Do NOT use gasoline, thinner, or other harsh chemicals.
- The fan blade can be washed in warm water with mild detergent or wiped with a soft damp cloth. It must be completely dry before re-fitting.
- The front and rear guards can be cleaned with a soft brush or a soft damp cloth.
- The motor housing and pedestal can be wiped clean with a soft damp cloth.
Disassembly for Cleaning/Storage: To dismantle the fan for cleaning or long-term storage, follow the assembly instructions in reverse order.
Fuse Replacement: The fan's attachment plug contains a safety device (fuse) for overload protection. If the fuse blows, it must be replaced with a 2.5 Amp, 125 Volt fuse.
1. Grasp the plug and remove it from the outlet (do not pull the cord).
2. Slide open the fuse access cover on top of the attachment plug.
3. Carefully remove the old fuse by gently prying it out with a tool.
4. Insert the new 2.5 Amp, 125 Volt fuse.
5. Close the fuse cover.
- Users are warned not to operate suddenly or overexert when replacing the fuse to avoid damaging the product.
- The attachment plug itself should not be replaced or modified; if it is damaged, the product should be discarded.
Storage: After cleaning, the fan should be stored carefully in its original box in a clean, dry place.

Safety Warnings and Precautions:

Never insert fingers, pencils, or any other objects through the grill while the fan is running.
Disconnect the fan when moving it, removing grills for cleaning, or when not in use.
Ensure the fan is on a stable surface to prevent overturning.
Do NOT use the fan in a window, as rain may create an electrical hazard.
Do NOT operate the fan with a damaged cord or plug.
Do NOT run the cord under carpeting, throw rugs, or furniture, and keep it away from traffic areas to prevent tripping.
Do NOT immerse the unit, plug, or cord in water or spray with liquids.
Do NOT leave children unsupervised around the appliance.
Avoid contact with moving parts.
Do NOT operate in the presence of explosive and/or flammable fumes.
Do NOT place the fan or any parts near an open flame, cooking, or other heating appliances.
Do NOT operate the fan if it malfunctions or has been dropped/damaged.
Do NOT let the cord hang over the edge of a table/counter or touch hot surfaces.
Do NOT use the fan with any solid-state speed control devices, as this can reduce the risk of fire or electric shock.
The fan should always be used on a dry, level surface.
Do NOT hang or mount the fan on the ceiling.
Do NOT operate without the fan grills properly in place.
If the replacement fuse blows again, a short-circuit may be present, and the product should be discarded or returned to an authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.
