Product Assembly: The assembly process involves several steps for the base, fan blade, and grilles.

Assemble the Base: Loosen and remove four screws from the crossbars (A and B), then interlock them. Align the holes in the crossbars with the flange of the outer tube and secure with the four screws. Loosen and remove the height adjustment collar from the inner tube, slide the base decorative cap down. Replace the height adjustment collar, pull the inner tube out to the desired height, and tighten the collar. If necessary, slightly loosen the set screw, slide the switch box down over the inner tube, and tighten the set screw securely.
Assemble the Blade and Grille: Unscrew the plastic mounting nut from the front of the motor housing (anticlockwise). Position the rear grille against the front of the motor housing with the handle uppermost, ensuring the locating pegs engage correctly in the holes of the rear grille. Tighten the rear grille mounting nut clockwise, but do not overtighten. Push the fan blade onto the motor shaft, aligning the slot at the back of the blade with the drive pin. Tighten the blade cap (anticlockwise). Position the front grille against the rear grille, aligning the holes for the small nut and bolt. Insert the bolt and screw on the nut, but do not fully tighten yet. Push the grille retaining clips into position, ensuring they engage correctly. Finally, fully tighten the small nut and bolt.

Operation of the Product:

Place the fan on a level and dry surface.
Plug the fan into a mains socket.
Select the desired speed setting using the controls. There are four settings: 0 (off), 1 (low), 2 (medium), and 3 (high).
To activate oscillation, push the oscillating knob downwards. To stop oscillation, pull the knob upwards.
To adjust the tilt angle of the fan head, loosen the neck screw, swivel the fan to the desired angle, and then re-tighten the screw. Caution: The fan should always be switched off when making this adjustment.

Maintenance Features

Cleaning:

Always switch off and unplug the fan from the power supply before assembling, disassembling, or cleaning.
Keep the air vents at the rear of the main body free from dust or fluff. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove these if necessary.
Fan components should be cleaned using mild soap and a damp cloth or sponge.
Do not allow any water or other liquid to enter the motor housing.
Thoroughly remove soap film with clean water.
Caution: Do not use harsh detergents, chemical cleaners, or solvents, as they may damage the surface finish of the fan components.
