When dealing with electricity, just conforming to all the safety and precautionary
measures can not describe every danger situation. They do not replace sensible pro-
cedures and care, which you have to take into account when first initiating and then
running your fan.
When using any electric units, several basic rules have to always followed, as detailed
below:
General
- The voltage details on the nameplate are to conform with the available mains voltage.
- The building mains must be earthed!
- Only operate the unit when completely assembled!
Operation
- The unit is to be operated on a level, stable base.
- Position the mains cable such that no danger of tripping is possible in order to avoid throw-
ing, or pulling the unit over.
- Do no push objects through the guard. Any loose objects which could be sucked in are to
be removed from the suction area before switching the fan on. Keep loose clothing, such as
scarves with fringes, away from the guard.
- The units are never be touched when having wet or moist hands.
- The units are never be used if you are barefooted.
- The units are never be used in a the bathroom or shower connected to an extension cord
unless you take exceptional care.
- Do not pull on the cable or unit in order to separate the plug from the socket.
- Do not subject the unit to detrimental environmental influences (rain, strong sunlight etc).
- Never allow unsupervised children, or incapable persons, to use it.
- Never immerse an electrical device in water.
- Always take note of the general safety rules when using electrical equipment.
Maintenance/cleaning notes
- Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance work, remove the plug or switch off the
electrical equipment!
- Check regularly, but most definitely before every use, the mains cable and mains plug for
damage.
- If any damage is visible, then further use of the unit must not be made.
- If any damage and/or reduced functioning occurs, switch off and do not manipulate the unit.
- If, in such as event, a repair is necessary, contact an authorised by the manufacturer custo-
mer service point.
- Clean the surface of the housing and the guard with a dry cleaning cloth and a damp brush.
- Do not use petrol or any similar light flammable cleaning material.
- After cleaning, the fan must be completely re-assembled.
