3. To remove the fan blade, rotate the knob holding it to the motor shaft CLOCKWISE (this is a reverse thread).
4. To remove the rear grille, rotate the plastic knob COUNTER-CLOCKWISE (normal thread).
5. Clean the fan blades and grilles with a soft, damp cloth or a vacuum cleaner to remove accumulated dust.
6. Reassemble the fan by reversing these steps. Ensure all parts are securely fastened before plugging in and using the fan.
