18" EVAPORATIVE COOLING PATIO PEDESTAL FAN ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

How Does Your Evaporative Misting Fan Work? The hotter it is the better it works!

Your fan provides outdoor cooling through evaporation. Evaporative cooling is a very simple process. Water requires thermal energy to evaporate. As the mist evaporates, it draws the heat out and results in immediate temperature reduction. The effectiveness of the cooling process improves as the temperature rises. At above 85^ F is the ideal temperature to feel the optimal cooling effects. If your humidity level is above 85%, this reduces the effectiveness of evaporative cooling. Your temperature-cooling drop varies depending on temperature and humidity, but cooling over 25 degrees can result under optimal conditions.

VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:

• This product is intended for household use only and not for commercial or industrial use.
- Close supervision is necessary when this product is used near children.
- Do not operate in the presence of explosives and/or flammable fumes.
- Do not hang or mount fan on a wall or ceiling.
- Do not operate without fan frills properly in place.
- This fan is intended for outdoor use but may be used indoors WITHOUT THE MISTING FEATURE.

Electric shock hazards—may cause severe personal injury or death. For your safety, turn off the electrical power supply before installing, moving, or servicing your fan to avoid any possible electrical shock hazards. Never make adjustments to the fan when in power is on.

UNPLUG THE FAN WHEN NOT IN USE.

To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not use this fan with any solid state speed control device. This appliance has a 3-prong plug. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in an outlet only one way. If this does not fit the outlet, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to bypass this procedure.

Note: Your Whynter Outdoor misting fan will use approximately 9 gallons of water for each hour of operation. This is equivalent to running a typical garden hose for 1 minute.

CLEANING

WARNING: Electric shock hazard---Unplug from electrical supply source before cleaning.

• FAN BODY: Use soft damp cloth then wipe with dry cloth. Do not use harmful cleaner to paints or plastics. Do not bend blades.
• NOZZLES: Because of the extremely small size of the nozzle opening, some of the misting nozzles may eventually be clogged from hard water-deposit build up. If this should occur, the nozzles should be removed and soaked in a non-toxic cleaning or dissolvent solution such as white vinegar for 3 hours.

IMPORTANT: Never attempt to clear nozzles with pins, nails or other metal sharp objects as this can damage the misting nozzles.

MAINTENANCE

Please make sure that the fan is unplugged from the electrical socket before attempting any cleaning or maintenance.

Whynter Outdoor Misting Fan Troubleshooting:

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Fan is leakingNozzles do not work	The nozzles / misters are clogged	Unscrew the nozzles / misters one at a time and shake them. You should hear a clicking sound inside the nozzle when it is shaken because there is a small ball inside the nozzle to help the nozzle mist properly. If you do not hear a clicking sound, as your instruction book states, soak the nozzles in vinegar.
The fan is noisy	Fan on uneven surface	Make sure the fan sits on a flat, hard and stable surface.
Nozzles dripping	Water pressure too high or too low	Adjust water pressure
