CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Follow these instructions to correctly and safely
care for your Bionaire TM fan. Please remember:
• Always unplug the fan before cleaning or assembly.
• Do not allow water to drip on or into the fan
motor housing.
• Be sure to use a soft cloth, moistened with a
mild soap solution.
• Do not use any of the following as a cleaner:
