- Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a standard 120-volt AC electrical outlet.
3. Operating Instructions
The fan features a simple control dial located on the rear of the unit for power and speed adjustments.
- Power On/Off: Rotate the control dial to select a speed setting (1, 2, or 3) to turn the fan on. Rotate the dial to the '0' or 'OFF' position to turn the fan off.
- Adjusting Speed: The fan offers three speed settings:
- 1 (Low): For gentle airflow.
- 2 (Medium): For moderate airflow.
- 3 (High): For maximum airflow.
- Adjusting Airflow Direction: The fan head can be manually tilted up to 90 degrees. Gently grasp the fan housing and pivot it to the desired angle to direct the airflow.
4. Maintenance
Regular cleaning helps maintain optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your fan. Always unplug the fan before cleaning.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior surfaces of the fan with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Blade and Grille Cleaning: To clean the fan blades and inside the grille, carefully follow these steps:
- Using a very small flat screwdriver, gently pry up and off the chrome ring located between the fan grille and the main housing.
- This action will expose four small Phillips screws. Loosen these screws to allow removal of the front grille.
- Once the grille is removed, the blades and inner components can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth.
- After cleaning, reattach the front grille by aligning the screw holes and tightening the Phillips screws. Snap the chrome ring back into place.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Utilitech Air Circulator Fan, please refer to the following common solutions:
- Fan does not turn on: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the control dial is set to an 'ON' speed setting (1, 2, or 3).
- Reduced airflow: Check for any obstructions around the fan grille. Clean the fan blades and grille as described in the Maintenance section if dust or debris has accumulated.
- Unusual noise or rattling: Ensure the fan is placed on a stable, flat surface. Check if the front grille is securely attached after cleaning. If the noise persists, discontinue use and contact customer support.
