Assembly (see page 2 and 3)
Attention: The protection grille must be properly closed prior to switch-
ing on the appliance so as to avoid any damage or hazards. Ensure that all
screws and securing nuts are firmly tightened. Only connect the power cable
to the socket once assembly has been completed.
A. Remove fixing screw (3) on underside of connector (1). Insert connector
(1) into foot (2) and secure with fixing screw for foot and connector (3).
B. Undo fixing screw (5) on connector (1). Locate motor housing (4) on con-
nector (1) and secure with fixing screw for motor housing and foot (5).
C. Remove securing nut for grille (6) from motor housing (4) and locate pro-
tection grille rear (7) on motor housing (4). When locating, ensure that
the handle (8) on protection grille rear (7) is on the top. Now screw secur-
ing nut for grille (6) back on to motor housing (4) so as to fix protection
grille rear (7) in position.
D. Attach fan blades (9) to motor housing (4) and secure in position with
fixing screw for fan blades and motor housing (10) (loosely attached to
fan blade). Tighten screw to secure fan blades (9).
E. Locate protection grille front (11) on protection grille rear (7). In doing
so, take care to ensure that positioning clip (12) on protection grille front
is fitted on protection grille rear as shown in illustration on page 2-3.
Close the two grilles by fastening the 8 fixing clips (13) (or 7 in the case
of Charly little). Ensure that all fixing clips (13) are fastened.
F. Secure the two grilles (7 and 11) with securing screw (14).
Setting up / operation
1. Place Charly at the desired position on a flat surface. Connect the mains
cable (17) to a suitable plug socket.
2. Switch on the Charly fan at the controller (15) and set the desired speed
(Positions 1-3, from gentle breeze to powerful circulation).
3. Push the oscillating knob (16) down to switch on the oscillation and pull
the oscillating knob up to switch off the oscillation.
4. The direction of airflow can be set in 4 positions. By carefully moving
the motor housing (4) up and down, the direction can be adjusted (click-
ing noise).
Cleaning
Prior to any maintenance, cleaning and after each use, switch off the appli-
ance and unplug the mains cable (17) from the socket.
Attention: Never submerge the appliance in water (danger of short-circuit).
• For external cleaning, rub with a damp cloth and then dry thoroughly.
• To clean the fan blades, remove securing screw (14), undo all fixing clips
(13) and carefully lift off protection grille front (11). Now you can wipe the
fan blades (9) with a damp cloth and dry well afterwards. After cleaning,
replace protection grille front (11) on appliance (fit top positioning clip: 12),
fasten all fixing clips (13) and fasten securing screw (14) tightly.

Disposal
The European directive 2012 / 19 / CE on Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must
not be disposed in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appli-
ances must be collected separately in order to optimize the recovery and
recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human
health and the environment. The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on the
product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of
the appliance it must be separately collected. Consumers should
contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning
the correct disposal of their old appliance.
