How do I store my fan after the summer season?

Storing a fan correctly helps prevent dust build-up, damage to the cable and unpleasant smells when you use it again. Before packing it away, make sure it is clean, dry and completely unplugged.

Prepare the fan for storage

1. Switch the fan off and unplug it.
2. Allow it to cool and stop moving fully.
3. Wipe away dust from the outer surfaces with a soft cloth.

If the fan is clean and dry before storage, it is less likely to smell stale or dusty next time you use it.

Store it safely

1. Wrap the cord loosely, without tight bends.
2. Keep the fan in a cool, dry place.
3. Do not place heavy items on top of it.

These storage steps match the general care advice in the fan manuals and help reduce the risk of cable strain, dust accumulation and moisture damage.

Check it before using it again

1. Inspect the cord, plug and grille for visible damage.
2. Make sure no dust or packaging has entered the appliance.
3. Try the fan briefly on a low setting before normal use.

If it smells strongly, vibrates badly or does not run normally after storage, do not keep testing it.

When to stop using it

Stop using the fan if there is any sign of moisture, corrosion, damaged wiring or a burning smell when you restart it. If the issue remains unresolved or safe use is uncertain, contact the retailer or store where the product was purchased.
