■Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer.

■Do not operate any fan with a damaged cord or plug. Discard fan or return to an authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.

■Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent backdrafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer's guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
