Fused plug
This plug is a safety feature. It contains a safety device (fuse) that should not be removed. Discard product if the at-
tachment plug is damaged.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury, do not remove, replace, repair or tamper with the
originally supplied plug.
If the fan does not function properly, it may be due to the safety device incorporated in this plug.
If the fuse fails, it is generally due to a short circuit or circuit overload. Replace the fuse as per the instructions below.
If the replacement fuse fails, immediately unplug the unit and contact Rowenta consumer services for assistance.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug
is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the 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 safety feature.
