Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your fan:
- Cleaning: Always unplug the fan before cleaning. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the exterior surfaces. For the fan blades and guards, you may need to remove the front guard to access them. Do not use abrasive cleaners or allow water to drip into the motor housing.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the fan in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original packaging to protect it from dust and damage.
- Cord Care: Regularly inspect the power cord for any signs of damage. Do not operate the fan with a damaged cord or plug.
