Important Safety Instructions

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury, observe the following safety guidelines:

• Always unplug the fan from the power outlet before cleaning, servicing, or moving it.
• Do not operate any fan with a damaged cord or plug. Discard the fan or return it to an authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.
• Do not run the power cord under carpeting. Do not cover the cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings. Arrange the cord away from traffic areas where it will not be tripped over.
• Use this fan only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
• Do not insert or allow fingers or foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause an electric shock or fire, or damage the fan.
• Do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not use on soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings may become blocked.
• Always place the fan on a stable, flat, level surface to prevent it from tipping over.
• This fan is for indoor use only. Do not use outdoors or in wet locations.
• Do not operate the fan near windows, as rain may create an electrical hazard.
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric 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.

Package Contents

Please check the package contents to ensure all components are present and undamaged:

• Fan Head Assembly (includes motor, blades, and front/rear grilles)
• Adjustable Stand Pole
• Heavy-Duty Round Base
• Power Cord (pre-attached to fan head)
• Assembly Hardware (screws, washers, nuts)

Assembly Instructions

Follow these steps to assemble your pedestal fan. It is recommended to have a second person assist with securing the fan head due to its size and weight.

1. Attach the Base to the Stand Pole: Place the heavy-duty round base on a flat surface. Insert the bottom end of the adjustable stand pole into the central opening of the base. Secure it using the provided screws and washers from underneath the base. Ensure it is tightened firmly for stability.
2. Attach the Fan Head Assembly to the Stand Pole: Carefully lift the fan head assembly. Align the mounting bracket on the fan head with the top of the adjustable stand pole. Insert the pole into the bracket and secure it using the provided locking pin or screw. Ensure the fan head is stable and does not wobble.
3. Adjust Height and Tilt: Loosen the height adjustment knob on the stand pole to set the desired fan height, then tighten it securely. The fan head can be tilted up or down by loosening the tilt adjustment knob on the side of the motor housing, adjusting the angle, and then tightening the knob.
4. Power Cord Management: Route the power cord through the designated opening in the base for a tidy setup and to prevent tripping hazards.

Operating Instructions

Once assembled and placed on a stable surface, your fan is ready for operation.

1. Power Connection: Ensure the fan is unplugged before making any adjustments. Insert the polarized plug firmly into a standard 120V AC electrical outlet.
2. Power On/Off and Speed Selection: Locate the control switch, typically on the motor housing or rear of the fan. This fan features 2 power levels. Select the desired speed (e.g., Low, High) to turn the fan on. To turn off, switch to the 'Off' position.
3. Oscillation Function: To activate the oscillation feature, push down the oscillation knob located on top of the motor housing. To stop oscillation and direct airflow in a fixed direction, pull the knob up.
4. Adjusting Airflow Direction: The fan head can be tilted to direct airflow vertically. Loosen the tilt adjustment knob, set the desired angle, and then tighten the knob securely.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure optimal performance and extend the life of your fan.

• Always unplug the fan before attempting any cleaning or maintenance.
• Exterior Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the exterior surfaces of the fan. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the finish.
• Grille and Blade Cleaning: Dust and debris can accumulate on the grilles and blades, reducing airflow efficiency. While the grilles are designed to interlock for security, making disassembly for deep cleaning challenging, regular cleaning is important. For routine cleaning, use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment or compressed air to remove dust from the grilles and blades without disassembling the unit. If deeper cleaning is required, consult a qualified technician or refer to the assembly guide for specific grille removal instructions, if available. Exercise caution during any disassembly to avoid damage.
• Motor Maintenance: The motor is permanently lubricated and requires no additional oiling.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the fan in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original packaging or covered to protect it from dust.
