Maintenance
Regular cleaning helps maintain the fan's performance and extends its lifespan. Always unplug the fan before cleaning.
- Cleaning: Use a soft cloth to wipe the exterior surfaces. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the fan in water.
- Dust Removal: Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove dust from the grilles. The fan does not come apart for cleaning, so a vacuum is recommended for internal dust.
- Storage: When not in use, store the fan in a cool, dry place. It is recommended to store it in its original box to protect it from dust and damage.
