ASSEMBLY

Note: before assembling the fan, ensure that it is not plugged into the mains.

The appliance can only be used if all parts are completely and properly assembled, i.e. complete with base, protective grids, rotor.

Proceed as follows, referring to the figures.

1. Insert the power cord through the larger hole in the base, ensuring that it does not get pinched.
2. Attach the base, aligning the bigger hole with the base stand: check that they match up correctly and secure the parts with the screws, tightening them with a normal manual force (excessive tightening with cause the screw to continue turning, whereas the parts will not remain secured if not tightened enough).
