3 assembly instructions

Before using the fan for the first time, please proceed as follows: carefully unpack the appliance and all components and remove all packaging material and any promotional stickers. Keep the packaging (plastic bags and cardboard) out of reach of children.

After unpacking the appliance, carefully check it for external damage that may have occurred during transport. Assemble the fan in accordance with the instructions.

1. Each wooden leg of the pedestal has a screw and a wing nut. Use a screwdriver to attach the wooden legs to the pedestal. Place a long screw through the metal connectors and fasten it with a wing nut. Do the same for all three wooden legs - fig. 1.
2. Connect the metal coupling pieces of the pedestal using a screw and wing nut, thus creating a tripod - fig. 2.
3. Place the motor section on the pedestal and fasten it with the screws, according to the drawings - fig. 3.
4. Remove the four screws from the motor section - fig. 4.
5. Place the rear protective guard on the motor shaft and fasten it with the screws that you have just removed - fig. 4.
6. Place the fan blade on the motor shaft and use a screwdriver to fasten it to the pen with a screw - fig. 5. Test the fan blade by rotating it by hand. When rotating, the blade should not create any friction with the rear protective guard.
7. Place the front protective guard on the fan and use the clamps to attach it to the rear protective guard.
8. Align the front protective guard with the rear protective guard using the positioning clamp [a] on the top side in order to attach both parts to each other properly - fig. 6.
9. Use the bolt and nut at the bottom side [b] of the guards to attach the guards to each other - fig. 7.
10. Press the clamps downwards in order to attach the front and rear protective guards to each other.

Place the fan on a flat, stable surface. Clean the exterior of the fan using a slightly damp cloth and then wipe it with a dry cloth.

Caution: only wipe the wooden parts with a dry cloth.

The fan is ready for use.

4 using the fan

Place the pedestal fan on a flat, stable surface. Insert the plug in a socket.

Switching on/off

Turn the position button to position 1 to 3 to switch on the fan. By turning the position button back to 0, you switch off the appliance.

Position 0 = off

Position 1 = lowest position

Position 2 = middle position

Position 3 = highest position

Oscillation

This fan is able to oscillate (swerve to the left and right) for a better air displacement. Press in or pull out the oscillation knob. If you want to change the wind to an upward or downward direction, you can simply tilt the fan head upwards or downwards.

Adjusting the height of the pedestal

In order to adjust the height, loosen the pedestal adjusting nut and move the fan upwards or downwards. Properly hold on to the fan when loosening the pedestal adjusting nut, so it cannot drop down unexpectedly. Re-tighten the pedestal adjusting nut when the fan is at the required height.

5 cleaning and maintenance

Before cleaning the fan, you must switch it off by means of the on/off button and remove the plug from the socket.

• Wipe the exterior of the appliance with a slightly damp cloth and dry properly.
• Make sure the wooden parts of the pedestal do not get wet.
• If necessary, you can clean the protective guard using a vacuum cleaner (nozzle).
• Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents for cleaning the appliance.
• Never submerge the fan in water or any other liquid.
