Test the airflow power

AM01 is intended for use as a desktop fan.

The fan has a strong, smooth airflow when switched on. The airflow should be strong enough to lift a sheet of newspaper past 45 degrees.

Hold a newspaper approximately 2 meters (6' 6'') away from the product with the airflow control dial turned to maximum.

Does the newspaper lift beyond 45 degrees?

Check the feet are attached correctly

Ensure all the feet are attached to the base of the machine.

Place the fan on a flat, non-slip surface.

Before switching on, please make sure the fan is positioned so that the airflow or oscillation is not obstructed.

Press the Oscillation button to start and stop the fan turning.
