General Safety Instructions
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. Keep the manual
in a safe place for future reference, along with the completed warranty card,
purchase receipt and carton. If applicable, pass these instructions on to the
next owner of the appliance.
Always follow basic safety precautions and accident prevention
measures when using an electrical appliance, including the following:
Electrical safety and cord handling
• Voltage: Make sure your outlet voltage and circuit frequency correspond to
the voltage stated on the rating label. If this is not the case, do not use the fan.
• Water: To protect against fire and electric shock, do not immerse the AC
adaptor, cord, plug or the fan itself 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 adaptor
cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its authorised
service agent or appropriately qualified personnel in order to avoid a hazard.
WARNING! Do not pick up or operate the fan if the AC adaptor, cord, plug or
housing is damaged, or after it malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged
in any manner. In case of damage, contact our after sales support centre.
• Protect the adaptor and power cord:
- Do not operate the fan with the AC adaptor’s power cord coiled up;
always fully unwind.
- Do not twist or kink the cord or let it touch heated surfaces or sharp edges.
- Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of a table or bench.
- 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. In the
event of danger, the plug must be quickly and easily accessible.
• WARNING! No extension cord, no timer: Do not use this fan with an
extension cord, plug adaptor, external timer or separate speed control
device. Plug the AC adaptor straight into an appropriate electrical outlet.

Unpacking
• This product has been packaged to protect it against transportation damage.
Unpack the appliance and keep the original packaging carton and materials
in a safe place. It will help prevent any damage if the product needs to be
transported in the future, and you can use it to store the appliance when it
is not in use. In the event that the packaging is to be disposed of, please
recycle it where possible.
• 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.
• Unwind the cord to its full length and inspect it for damage. Do not use the
appliance if the appliance or its cord have been damaged or are not working
properly. In case of damage, contact our after sales support centre for advice
on examination, repair or return of the damaged product.
• Make sure you have read and understood all instructions and warnings in
this manual. Refer to the product overview (pages 8–9) and parts illustrations
(pages 11–12) to familiarise yourself with the product and identify all parts.
Pay particular attention to the safety instructions on the previous pages.
Remote control preparation
• The fan comes with a remote control, which is powered by two AAA batteries
(supplied separately). Slide out the battery cover with your thumb on the
mark at the back of the remote control. Insert the batteries following the
polarity symbols (+/-), then replace the cover to the battery compartment.
• When replacing batteries, always replace all batteries with new ones of the
same size and type. Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline,
standard (carbon-zinc), or rechargeable (NiCd, NiMH) batteries. Do not open
or short-circuit batteries.
• If the remote control will not be used for a long period of time, remove the
batteries from the battery compartment to avoid leakage which can damage
the remote control.
• Assembly: Your new fan has been shipped partially assembled to reduce
wastage of packaging material, paper cartons and weight. The illustrations in
the Assembly sections show how all the parts fit together.
WARNING: Electric shock hazard!

Assembling the fan head
Using Fig. 2 to guide you, assemble the fan head as follows:
1. The motor shaft has the blade cap and guard nut attached. Remove the
cap by turning it clockwise and the nut by turning it anticlockwise.
2. Place the rear guard on the front of the motor housing, lining up the four
positioning knobs on the front of the motor housing with the holes in the
rear guard. Push the guard in firmly until the three knobs protrude through
the holes. Secure the rear guard by reattaching the guard nut and turning it
clockwise to tighten.
3. Remove the protected sleeve from the motor shaft. Slide the blade onto
the motor shaft, making sure to match the protrusions on the shaft with
the slots in the blade. Tighten the blade with the blade cap, turning it
anticlockwise to tighten it securely.
4. Test the fan by rotating the blade with your hands, making sure that there is
no contact with the nut. The fan blade should rotate freely.
5. Remote the plastic sheet covering the decorative front plate.
6. The front and rear guard are held together with a guard ring, which has two
grooves, one for each of the guards. Slightly loosen the large screw at the
bottom of the ring and ensure the edge of the guard sits in the appropriate
groove, all around the rear guard. Then fit the front guard against the rear
guard and ensure that the edge sits properly in the other groove. Retighten
the screw to secure the guards together.
Your new pedestal fan is now fully assembled.

• What are the differences between the speed and breeze modes?
The SPEED button lets you set the fan blade speed. The MODE button
lets you determine the type of breeze: Normal, Natural (a combination of
different types) and Sleep, a softer breeze for night-time use.
• How can I tilt the fan head up or down?
Make sure the fan is disconnected from the power supply. Grip the motor
housing and carefully tilt the fan head until it reaches the desired angle.
Only a soft touch is needed to adjust the fan head position. Do not tilt the
fan head further than it is intended to go.
• The fan does not work although it is properly connected and the outlet
is working.
Check and ensure that the front and rear guards are clean. Use a clean
and dry brush to clean any dust or dirt off the openings, if necessary. Also
ensure that nothing is blocking the air intake at the back. If it still fails to
operate, please contact our after sales support centre.
• Does the appliance need to be disassembled for storage?
No, it does not need to be disassembled, but doing so means you can
easily store it in its original box, where it will be protected from dust
until the next season. If you have the space to store the appliance fully
assembled, place a large plastic bag or piece of material over the top of
the cleaned appliance for dust protection.

Other Useful Information
Cleaning and maintenance
• Dusting: Clean your fan periodically by lightly running a vacuum cleaner
nozzle (soft brush) over the front and rear 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 motor housing and
control panel areas. Do not allow the motor or other electrical components to
be exposed to water.
• End of season cleaning: When you have finished using the fan at the end
of the season, unplug it and wipe off any dust to maintain it in good working
order for the next season. Disassemble the front guard and remove the fan
blade. Plastic parts should be cleaned using a mild detergent and a damp
cloth or sponge. The front and rear guards can be cleaned using a damp
cloth. Dry thoroughly before reassembly.
• 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
dust. We recommend using the original carton for storage. If you want to
store the appliance fully assembled, place a large plastic bag or piece of
material over the top of the cleaned appliance for dust protection.
WARNING!
• Before cleaning, maintenance or moving the fan, and before removing a
front or rear guard, switch off the fan and disconnect it from the power
source.
• Do not immerse the fan in water or other liquids. Do not spray it with
liquids. Do not allow water to drip on or into the fan motor housing.
• Never use petrol, solvents, harsh detergents, or abrasive or alkaline
cleaners on the fan.
