2. Inspection: Check the fan for any signs of damage. Do not use if damaged.

Keep the fan at a safe distance from walls, curtains, and other objects that could obstruct airflow or be drawn into the fan blades.
4. Power Connection: Ensure the fan is switched off (speed setting '0') before plugging it into a standard 220V-240V AC electrical outlet.

Operating Instructions

Your Brandson Floor Fan is designed for simple operation.

1. Power On/Off: Locate the rotary switch on the rear of the fan (refer to Image 3). Turn the switch from '0' (Off) to '1', '2', or '3' to turn the fan on and select a speed. To turn off the fan, rotate the switch back to '0'.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning will help maintain your fan's performance and extend its lifespan.

1. Before Cleaning: Always ensure the fan is switched off and unplugged from the power outlet before cleaning or performing any maintenance.
