•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 appliance if the power supply cord,
plug or housing is damaged, or after it malfunctions or has been dropped or
damaged in any manner.

*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.

Cleaning and maintenance
• Dusting: Clean your fan periodically by lightly running a vacuum cleaner
nozzle (soft brush) over the front outlets and air inlet grilles to remove any
dust or dirt that may have accumulated inside or on the unit. Alternatively,
use a soft, dry cloth for dusting.
• Stubborn stains: Use a slightly damp, soapy cloth for stubborn stains but
be sure the cloth is not too wet. Use caution around the housing. Do not
allow the electrical components to be exposed to water.
• Storage: If not in use for an extended period, store in a safe, dry
location, protected from dust and located so it is not in direct sunlight. We
