Important Safety Instructions

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:

• Read all instructions before using this fan.
• Use this fan only as described in this manual. Other uses not recommended may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this fan to water or rain.
• Do not operate any fan with a damaged cord or plug. Discard fan or return to an authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.
• Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings. Do not route cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange cord away from traffic area and where it will not be tripped over.
• Always unplug the fan when not in use, when moving from location to location, and before cleaning.
• Do not insert or allow 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 openings or tamper with the fan in any way while it is in operation.
• Always place the fan on a stable, flat, level surface to avoid tipping.
• 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.

Assembly Instructions

Follow these steps carefully to assemble your pedestal fan. A Phillips head screwdriver may be required for the final guard assembly.

1. Base Assembly: Unscrew the knob from the bottom of the round base. Insert the adjustable height pole into the base and re-tighten the knob securely from underneath.
2. Attach Motor Unit: Slide the fan motor unit onto the top of the adjustable height pole. Secure it by tightening the knob located on the pole. Note that the lower knob on the pole adjusts the fan's height, while the upper knob secures the motor unit.
3. Prepare Motor Shaft: Locate the motor shaft at the front of the motor unit. Unscrew the small fixing nut (often reverse-threaded, turn left to tighten, right to loosen) from the shaft. Remove any plastic sheaths or protective pieces from the shaft; these are for packaging only and are not part of the fan assembly.
4. Install Rear Guard: Place the rear fan guard onto the motor unit, aligning the two pin holes at the top and the single pin at the bottom with the corresponding slots on the motor unit. Secure it by screwing on the large plastic fixing ring (not the small nut from the shaft) until hand-tight.
5. Install Fan Blades:

   First, slide the larger main fan blade onto the motor shaft, ensuring the notch on the blade aligns with the pin on the shaft. Then, slide the smaller fan blade onto the shaft with its tiny teeth facing outwards. Secure both blades in place using the small fixing nut removed in step 3. Remember, this nut might be reverse-threaded (turn left to tighten).
6. Attach Front Guard: Carefully align the front fan guard with the rear fan guard. The two guards are secured by a rubber strip with a screw at the bottom. It is recommended to lay the fan unit flat for this step. Align the two guards precisely, ensuring the screw hole at the bottom matches. Use a small Phillips head screwdriver to tighten the screw, securing both guards together.
7. Insert Remote Batteries: Open the battery compartment on the remote control and insert 2 AAA batteries (not included), observing polarity. Close the compartment.

Adjusting Fan Position:

• Height Adjustment: Loosen the lower knob on the adjustable pole, extend or retract the pole to the desired height, and then re-tighten the knob.
• Tilt Adjustment: Gently push the fan head up or down to adjust the vertical airflow direction.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will help prolong the life of your fan.

• Cleaning: Always unplug the fan before cleaning. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the exterior surfaces. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. For dust accumulation on the blades, the front guard can be carefully removed (by unscrewing the bottom screw) to access the blades for cleaning. Ensure the fan is completely dry before plugging it back in.
• 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.
