Maintenance
Regular cleaning helps maintain the fan's performance and extends its lifespan.
- Before Cleaning: Always unplug the fan from the electrical outlet before cleaning or performing any maintenance.
- Exterior Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the exterior surfaces of the fan. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the plastic finish.
- Grille and Blades: Periodically clean dust and debris from the front and rear grilles, and the fan blades. A vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment or compressed air can be used for this purpose. For thorough cleaning, some users may carefully disassemble the front grille (refer to user reviews or online guides for specific model instructions, as this is not officially detailed in product information). Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling and plugging in the fan.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Fan does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power outage; tripped circuit breaker; blown fuse in plug. | Ensure fan is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check household circuit breaker. Some plugs contain a replaceable fuse; check if it needs replacement (refer to plug for fuse specifications, e.g., 5 Amp 125 Volts). |
| Reduced airflow. | Dust buildup on blades or grilles; obstructed intake/exhaust. | Unplug the fan and clean the grilles and blades. Ensure there are no obstructions around the fan. |
