Important Safety Instructions
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
Read this manual thoroughly before first use, even if you are familiar with this
type of product. The safety precautions enclosed herein reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock and injury when correctly adhered to. Make sure you understand all
instructions and warnings. Keep the manual in a safe place for future reference,
along with any warranty information, your purchase receipt and the original
packaging. Always follow basic safety precautions and accident prevention
measures when using an electrical appliance, including the following:
• Voltage: Ensure your outlet voltage and circuit frequency correspond to the
voltage stated on the appliance rating label. If this is not the case, do not use.
• Water: To protect against fire and electric shock, do not immerse the cord, plug
or fan in water or other liquid, or expose the electrical connections to water.
Ensure your hands are dry before handling the plug or switching on the fan. Do
not use the fan outdoors or on wet surfaces. Protect it from liquid spills.
• Damage: Check the power cord regularly for visible damage. If the cord is
damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its authorised service
centres or appropriately qualified personnel in order to avoid any hazards.
WARNING! Do not pick up or operate the fan if the supply cord, plug or hous-
ing is damaged, or after it malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in
any manner. If damaged, contact our after sales support centre for advice.
Do not open or try to repair the fan yourself: risk of electric shock!
• Protect the power cord:
• Do not operate the fan with the cord coiled up; always fully unwind.
• Do not twist or kink the cord or let it touch heated surfaces.
• Do not put any stress on the cord where it connects to the product.
• Never carry the fan by the cord.
• Arrange the cord away from any traffic area so no one will trip over it.
• Do not run the cord under carpeting or cover it with rugs or runners.
• WARNING! No extension cord, no timer: Do not use this fan with an
extension cord, plug adaptor, external timer or separate speed control device.
• Connection: To insert the plug, grip it firmly and guide it into the outlet. Do not
use more than one electrical appliance at the same time on the same outlet.
• Disconnection: Do not use the power button as the sole means for discon-
necting power. Always unplug the fan from the power outlet when it is not in
use and before cleaning, servicing, moving or storing the appliance. Grasp the
plug and remove it from the outlet, do not pull the cord when disconnecting.
• Guard removal: Ensure the fan is disconnected from the power supply before
removing a front or rear guard (grille).
• Attachments: The use of accessory attachments not recommended in this
manual may cause injury or hazards.

Unpacking
• Unpack: This product has been packaged to protect it against
transportation damage. Unpack the appliance and keep the original

base assembly.
• Safe packaging disposal: Plastic wrapping can be a suffocation hazard for
babies and young children, so ensure all packaging materials are out of their
reach and disposed of safely.
• Check power cord: Unwind the cord to its full length. Inspect the power
supply cord and plug, and all other parts of the appliance, for visual dam-
age. Do not use the appliance if anything appears to be damaged or not
working properly. In case of damage, contact our after sales support centre.

Getting Started (Cont.)
Base assembly
1. Set the base on a table or workbench.
2. Unscrew the metal washer and base locking lever and remove it from the
bottom of the stand post.
3. Insert the stand post into the base, put the metal washer onto the black
weight.
4. Insert the threaded end of the locking lever into the hole of the washer and
through the base into the bottom of the stand post. Turn the locking lever
clockwise to secure and tighten the base to the fan body.
Fan head assembly
1. Remove and discard the plastic sleeve on the motor shaft. Position the back
grille against the front of the motor housing through the motor shaft. Ensure
that the handle at the back of grille is facing up and that all guiding pegs on
the motor housing are lined up with cut-outs on the back grille.
2. Secure the back grille into place with the nut. Fasten the nut firmly onto the
motor housing by tightening it in a clockwise direction.
3. Install the fan blade onto the motor shaft with the cut-outs fitted.
4. Place the blade cap on the motor shaft after the blade.
5. Fasten the parts into place by tightening the blade cap in anticlockwise
direction.
6. Check the correct rotation of the blade.
7. Attach the front grille to back grille and fasten the grilles with the clamping
ring. The clamping ring has two grooves, one for the rear and one for the
front grille. Hold the front grille in position and guide the ring around the rear
grille, clipping the rear grille into the appropriate set of grooves in the ring.
When the grilles are properly positioned in their respective grooves, tighten
the screw securely using a screwdriver.
8. Your new desk fan is now ready for use.
Fan head tilt adjustment
The fan head may be tilted slightly upwards or downwards
if required. To adjust the tilt angle, grip the motor housing
and carefully tilt the fan head slightly up or down.
CAUTION: Do not tilt the fan head more than it is
intended to go, which could cause damage.

a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly before reassembly or
storage.
• Storage: When storing your fan in the off season, make sure to disassemble
and clean the fan before storing. Follow the assembly instructions in reverse
order. It is important to keep the fan in a safe, dry location, protected from
