Note: Hang product from sturdy location using large screws that will support product. Be careful not to hang the product in such a way that it prevents normal fan operation or damages the cord. Keep the electrical cord safely routed to avoid being tripped over or pulled. Avoid placing the product where it could be easily bumped.

CLEANING

GRILLE REMOVAL

Use the brush attachment on your household vacuum cleaner to vacuum any accumulated dust off the Front Grille and Air Inlets.
Note: The motor is permanently lubricated and requires no oiling.

BLADE REMOVAL

Pliers recommended.

To reduce the risk of electrical shock and injury to persons, unplug the circulator before removing blade.

1. First, remove the nut from the shaft by turning the nut clockwise to loosen. Remove the washer. Pull the blade straight out from the shaft.
2. Wipe the Blade with a damp cloth. If your circulator is used in a greasy environment, such as a kitchen, mild soap or a common household cleaner may be necessary. Do not use solvents. Do not place blade in the dishwasher. The excessive heat can distort the plastic.
