Operating Instructions

Your Belaco Table Fan is designed for ease of use. Follow these steps to operate your fan:

1. Placement: Place the fan on a stable, flat surface. Ensure it is not too close to walls or furniture that could obstruct airflow.
2. Power Connection: Plug the fan into a standard 220-240V, 50Hz electrical outlet. The fan is equipped with a 3-pin UK plug.
3. Adjusting Fan Speed:

   The fan features three speed settings. Use the control buttons located on the fan base to select your desired speed:

   • Speed 1: Low speed for gentle airflow.
   • Speed 2: Medium speed for moderate airflow.
   • Speed 3: High speed for maximum airflow.

   Press the corresponding button to activate the speed. Press the '0' or 'OFF' button to turn the fan off.

4. Oscillation Function:

   To activate the oscillation (side-to-side movement) function, pull up the oscillation knob located on top of the motor housing. The fan will oscillate approximately 85 degrees, distributing air across a wider area.

   To stop oscillation and direct airflow in a fixed direction, push down the oscillation knob. A slight click may be heard when the fan resets its direction during oscillation, which is normal operation.
5. Adjusting Tilt Angle:

   The fan head can be tilted up or down by approximately 30 degrees. Gently push or pull the fan head to adjust it to your preferred vertical angle. This allows you to direct the airflow precisely where needed.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will help ensure the longevity and efficient operation of your fan.

• Before Cleaning: Always unplug the fan from the power outlet before cleaning.
• 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.
