precautions should always be followed:
FOR YOUR SAFETY

•
The appliance is not intended for use by
children or in rm persons without supervision.
•
Children should be prevented from playing
with the appliance.

than its intended use. This product is intended
for household use only.
•
This appliance is intended to be plugged in a
240v power outlet only.

serviceable parts.
•
Arrange the power cord away from traf c

Congratulations on the purchase of your new
Pedestal Fan by Ringgrip.
Before  rst using your new Pedestal Fan, it is most
important that you read and follow the instructions
in this use and care booklet, even if you feel you
are familiar with this type of appliance.
Your attention is drawn particularly to the section
dealing with IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS. Find a
safe and convenient place to keep this booklet
handy for future reference.
This appliance has been designed to operate
from a standard domestic power outlet. It is not
intended for industrial or commercial use.
Your Pedestal Fan is safe and easy to use. It has
been designed to function quietly and safely under
normal circumstances. Your Pedestal Fan is fully
portable with a sturdy stand and contemporary
design. Its energy ef cient blades circulate
cool air while using less power than a standard
light globe. The heavy-duty motor is rated for
continuous use to combat long hot summers.
Use the manual clutch to choose  xed direction
for personal comfort or oscillating to cover larger
areas.
Your Pedestal Fan has been boxed unassembled to
minimise packaging waste. Each part is designed
to  t together and be disassembled easily for
cleaning or storage.
To assemble the safety grille and blade assembly,
remove the spinner (by turning it clockwise), then
the locking nut (by turning it anticlockwise) from
the motor spindle.
Place the back safety grille into position.
Ensure the safety grille  ts onto the locating lugs
(Fig. 1). If this is done correctly, the safety grille’s
carry handle will be at the top.
(Fig. 1 - Locating lugs and locking nut)
Fix the safety grille into position by replacing the
locking nut tightly by hand (Fig. 1). Do not force
the locking nut.
The groove in the centre of the fan blade aligns
with a T-bar on the motor spindle to ensure
correct positioning.
Fix the blade into place by gently hand tightening
the spinner (Fig. 2) anticlockwise onto the end of
the motor spindle. The spinner is self-tightening;
do not force it.
(Fig. 2 Spinner tightens anti-clockwise)

Lift out all locking clips on the front safety grille
(Fig. 3)
(Fig. 3)
Place the safety grille into position and secure it by
fastening the clips over the outer rim (Fig. 4).
(Fig. 4)
Assemble the base to the support pole using the
fasteners provided.
(Fig. 5)
Loosen the height adjustment ring and extend the
support pole. Initially the support pole will be held
tightly in place. If necessary, use a pair of pliers to
grasp the support pole and pull it into position.
Retighten the height adjustment ring to prevent
slipping, then place the fan assembly onto the
pole and tighten the pole screw manually (Fig. 6).
(Fig. 6)

Remove the cable tie and unravel the cordset
before operation.
The fan and motor assembly are attached to a 4-
position ratchet. Tilt up or down until the assembly
clicks into the desired position.
Press button 1 for a low speed, 2 for a medium
speed and 3 for a high speed. Press 0 to switch
the Pedestal Fan off.
To blow air in one direction and stop oscillation,
allow the Pedestal Fan to move into the desired
position and pull the clutch knob up. Press the
clutch knob down to return to a normal oscillating
function (Fig. 7).
(Fig. 7 Clutch)
Always disconnect electrical appliances before
cleaning them.
To clean the blade and grille assembly,  rst
remove the safety grille, unscrew the locknut and
remove the blade from the Pedestal Fan. Wipe
them clean with a slightly damp sponge.
Clean the motor housing and body assembly with
a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.
Never spray the Pedestal Fan with liquids or
submerge it in water or any other liquid.
Note: If the cordset of this appliance becomes
