SERVICING WARNING—To reduce risk of re, electrical shock and injury
to persons, observe the following:

(follow product marking for proper fuse rating) and check the product.
If the replacement fuse blows, a short-circuit may be present and the

4. Once the replacement is received, use a small at-head screwdriver to
slide open the fuse cover (located on the plug) (See Fig. A).

fuse (See Fig. B).
6. Install the replacement fuse by using the screwdriver to gently push
each metal end of the fuse into the receptacle one at a time. Do not
push on the center of the fuse—it is fragile and may break.

cover should t completely in the plug. No part of the cover should
stick out (See Fig. C).

To Clean Grille:
Unplug unit. Remove screw and rotate the grille
counterclockwise to unlock and then lift off. To reinstall
the grille, position the grille with the logo rotated
slightly to the left and rotate clockwise. Dust or wash
with a mild dish washing soap. Do not place grille in the
dishwasher. The excessive heat can distort the plastic.
To Clean Blade:
Pull the blade straight out from the shaft. Wipe with a
damp cloth. To reattach - be certain the at side of the
shaft aligns directly with the corresponding at side on
the blade’s socket. Push the blade all the way on the
shaft until it bottoms out. If your Air Circulator is used in
a greasy environment, such as a kitchen, mild soap or a
common household cleaner may be necessary. Do not
use solvents.
To Clean Base:
Wipe with a damp cloth.
To Clean Motor Cap and Inlet Ribs:
Use a common household vacuum. Do not use water to
clean these parts of the Air Circulator.
Because your FIT moves air it will require regular cleaning.
CLEANING
GRILLE & BLADE REMOVAL Screwdriver required.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock and injury to persons, unplug the circulator
before removing grille and blade.
