Never use petrol, solvents, harsh detergents, or abrasive or alkaline cleaners on the fan.

Cleaning and maintenance

Dusting: Clean your fan periodically by lightly running a vacuum cleaner nozzle (soft brush) over the front and rear guards to remove any dust or dirt that may have accumulated inside or on the unit. Alternatively, use a soft, dry cloth for dusting.
Stubborn stains: Use a slightly damp, soapy cloth for stubborn stains but be sure the cloth is not too wet. Use caution around the motor housing area. Do not allow the motor or other electrical components to be exposed to water.
End of season cleaning: When you have finished using the fan at the end of the season, wipe off any dust to maintain it in good working order for the next season.
