IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK: Do not allow this unit to become wet. Operate only
when dry. Never allow the unit to be immersed in water or other liquid. This will void the warranty.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE:
• Manually turn the unit off after each use. This unit does not automatically turn on and off.
• Do not operate unattended for extended periods of time.
• Allow airflow around fan area — blocking airflow will slow cooling or heating.
• To reduce the risk of damage to the DC plug and cord, pull by DC plug rather than cord when disconnecting.
• Check unit periodically for wear and tear. Take to a qualified technician for replacement of worn or defective
parts immediately.
• This unit is intended for use with a 12 volt DC power source that can provide at least 8 amps of current. DO
NOT attempt to use with any other power source.
• NEVER operate unit in an enclosed space. ALWAYS ensure that there is adequate ventilation and free flow of air
around the unit, so that air expelled by the fan is effectively dissipated.
