The Sealey SFF16 is a 16-inch (400mm) 230V 3-speed desk/floor fan, designed for both free-standing and wall-mounted use. Manufactured from a durable composite material, it features an ergonomic design that allows the fan head to pivot on a 180° axis, maximizing airflow volume and direction. This makes it suitable for intense cooling or as an air circulator for an entire room. The fan is fitted with a BS fully approved plug, ensuring electrical safety in accordance with UK standards.
The SFF16 fan provides three speed settings, controlled by a switch, to adjust the airflow intensity. It can be used as a portable desk or floor fan, or it can be permanently mounted to a wall. The fan head's ability to pivot 180° allows users to direct the airflow precisely where needed. When wall-mounted, the fan head locks into 10° increments, providing flexibility in positioning.
The manual emphasizes strict adherence to electrical safety guidelines. Users are responsible for checking all electrical products for safety before use, including power cables, plugs, sockets, and connectors for wear or damage. The risk of electric shock must be minimized by installing appropriate safety devices, such as a Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) in the main distribution board and a Residual Current Device (RCD) for portable products. The Electricity at Work Act 1989 requires portable electrical appliances used in business premises to be tested by a qualified electrician using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT) at least once a year. The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 holds owners responsible for the safe condition of appliances and the safety of operators. Users must ensure that the insulation on all cables and the appliance is safe before connecting to the power supply. Cables must be protected against short circuit and overload, and regularly inspected for wear or damage. The voltage marked on the appliance must match the power supply, and the plug must be fitted with the correct fuse (3A recommended). Users are warned NOT to pull or carry the appliance by the power cable, pull the plug from the socket by the cable, or use worn/damaged cables, plugs, or connectors. Faulty items must be repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician. For UK 3-pin plugs, wiring instructions are provided: GREEN/YELLOW to earth terminal 'E', BROWN to live terminal 'L', and BLUE to neutral terminal 'N'. Double-insulated products (marked with a specific symbol) only have live (brown) and neutral (blue) wires and should NOT be connected to the earth terminal. Products requiring more than 13 amps are supplied without a plug, and a qualified electrician should be consulted for installation of a suitably rated supply, such as an industrial round pin plug and socket. If an extension reel is used, it must be fully unwound, preferably fitted with an RCD, and have a cable core section of at least 1.5mm² (2.5mm² recommended for multiple output sockets). For outdoor use, the extension reel must be marked accordingly.
Unwanted materials should be recycled instead of disposed of as waste. All tools, accessories, and packaging should be sorted and taken to a recycling center. Fluids (if applicable) should be drained into approved containers and disposed of according to local regulations. The product must be disposed of at the end of its working life in compliance with the EU Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). Contact the local solid waste authority for recycling information.
