- Adjusting Height and Tilt: Loosen the height adjustment knob on the stand pole to raise or lower the fan. Tighten it firmly once the desired height is reached. The fan head can also be tilted up or down manually to direct airflow.
Maintenance and Care
Regular cleaning will help maintain your fan's performance and extend its lifespan:
- Always unplug the fan from the power source before cleaning.
- Cleaning the Exterior: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the exterior surfaces of the fan. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the plastic.
- Cleaning the Grilles and Blades: Dust and lint can accumulate on the grilles and blades. For thorough cleaning, you may carefully remove the front grille (refer to assembly instructions in reverse) to access the blades. Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove dust. Wipe blades with a damp cloth if necessary. Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling and operating the fan.
