3. Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to properly install the KIWIHOME PS5 Slim Cooling Fan:
- Position the Fan: Gently align the cooling fan with the top edge of your PS5 Slim console. The fan is designed to clip securely into place.
- Connect USB: Locate an available USB-A port at the rear of your PS5 Slim console. Plug the fan's integrated USB-A connector into this port. The fan's USB port acts as a pass-through, ensuring you do not lose a functional USB port on your console.
- Secure Installation: Ensure the fan is firmly clipped onto the console and the USB connection is secure.
4. Operating Instructions
Once installed, operate your cooling fan using the following guidelines:
- Power On: Turn on your PS5 Slim console. The fan's power indicator light will illuminate, confirming that the fan is receiving power and is ready for operation. The integrated USB 3.0 female port will also be functional.
- Adjust Fan Speed: Use the fan speed switch located on the unit to select your desired operating mode. There are three settings:
- OFF: The fan will stop operating.
- Constant Mode: The fan will operate at a uniform speed (approximately 3500 RPM).
- Automatic Mode (Variable Speed): The fan will intelligently adjust its speed based on the PS5 Slim's internal temperature:
- Below 39°C (102°F): Fan stops.
- Between 39°C (102°F) and 43°C (109°F): Fan operates at low speed.
- Above 43°C (109°F): Fan operates at high speed (up to 5000 RPM).
- Automatic Startup: To enable the fan to automatically start and stop with your console, ensure the fan switch is set to either 'Constant Mode' or 'Automatic Mode' before turning off your PS5 Slim. If the fan is set to OFF, it will not power on automatically with the console.

5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your cooling fan, follow these maintenance tips:
- Cleaning: Periodically inspect the fan grilles for dust accumulation. Use a soft, dry cloth or a can of compressed air to gently clean the fan blades and vents. Avoid using liquid cleaners directly on the unit.
- Storage: If the cooling fan will not be used for an extended period, it is recommended to set the fan switch to the OFF position. For long-term storage, carefully remove the fan from the PS5 Slim console and store it in a dry, cool, and safe environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Handling: Always handle the fan gently. Avoid dropping or subjecting it to strong impacts.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your KIWIHOME PS5 Slim Cooling Fan, please refer to the following troubleshooting guide:
- Fan Not Turning On:
- Ensure the fan's USB-A connector is securely plugged into a functional USB-A port on the rear of your PS5 Slim console.
- Verify that your PS5 Slim console is powered on.
- Check the fan speed switch to ensure it is not set to the 'OFF' position.
- Fan Making Unusual Noise:

- Fan Not Adjusting Speed in Automatic Mode:
- Confirm that the fan speed switch is set to the 'Automatic Mode' (variable speed) position.
