MEACO 650 Air Circulator + Free Storage Bag Instruction Manual

Please read this instruction manual before using the air circulator and keep safe for future reference.

Thank you for choosing Meaco, we really appreciate it.

SAFETY INFORMATION

This air circulator must not be used in rooms under the following conditions:

Potentially explosive atmosphere
Aggressive atmospheres
Featuring a high concentration of solvents
An extremely high ratio of dust
Commercial environments

Magnets: The air circulator and the remote control both contain magnets. Please note the following: Pacemakers and defibrillators may be affected by magnets. If this affects you then please do not put the remote control in a pocket and warn anyone who is likely to use the air circulator or the remote that it has a magnet. Credit cards and data cards can also be affected by magnets and should not be placed near to the air circulator or the fan.

Keep Children Away: Do not allow children to play with or around this unit, which could result in injury. Be sure the unit is inaccessible to children when not attended. This appliance is not intended for use by person (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Keep Unit Grounded: Always operate the unit with a grounding plug and a grounded electrical outlet. A grounding plug is an essential safety feature that helps reduce the risk of shock or fire.

Protect Power Cord from Damage: Never operate a unit with a damaged power cord, as this may lead to electrical or fire hazards. If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a cord of the same type and amperage rating.

Extension Cords: Extension cords must be grounded and able to deliver the appropriate voltages to the unit.

Handle with Care: Do not drop, throw or crash the air circulator. Rough treatment can damage the components or wiring and create a hazardous condition.

Run on Stable Surface: Always operate the unit on a stable, level surface, for example the floor or a strong counter, so that the air circulator cannot fall and cause injury.

Keep Out of Water: Never operate the unit in pooled or standing water, as this may create a risk of injury from electrical shock. Do not store or operate outdoors. If electrical wiring or components become wet, thoroughly dry them before using the unit. If in doubt do not use the air circulator and consult a qualified electrician or a Meaco approved engineer.

Keep Air Intakes Clear: Do not clog or block the air intakes by placing the air circulator too close to curtains, walls or anything that will restrict the air inlet. This may cause the unit to overheat and result in a fire or electrical hazard.

Keep Electrical Components Dry: Never allow water inside the air circulator’s electrical components. If these areas become wet for any reason, thoroughly dry them before using the air circulator. If in doubt, do not use the air circulator and consult a qualified electrician or a Meaco approved engineer.

The operator must make the operating instruction available for the user and make sure that the user does understand the manual.

POWER SUPPLY

This power supply changes mains alternating current to touch safe low voltage (DC). The power supply is only designed for indoor use and should not come into contact with water or dust. To prevent overheating the power supply should not be covered when it is in use.

The mains socket should be easily accessible. In the event of operational error, the plug should be immediately removed from the socket. In the event that the mains cable becomes damaged, then the power supply should not be used.

The power supply contains potentially dangerous voltages internally and the cover should not be removed. All service or maintenance work should be carried out by qualified personnel.

If you require assistance, please contact Meaco.

GENERAL ADVICE

Before putting your air circulator into operation for the first time, the instruction manual should be studied carefully.
After receiving the air circulator, you should check the unit for any transport damage. In case of damage, you should inform the sender immediately.
Keep the packaging for the air circulator in a safe place in order to be able to despatch the unit safely if it requires a service. In order to save space, you can simply cut through the adhesive tape using a knife and fold the cardboard box.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always turn the fan off and unplug it from the socket before cleaning.

Use a soft dry cloth to clean the external and internal parts of the fan. Do not allow the fan to get wet.
In order to access the fan blades, follow the steps below:

Using a screwdriver, unscrew the small screw at the top back of the fan. It is located directly below the right end of the handle.
Squeeze four locks to pull away the front guard. At the front of the fan blades there is a locking cap – unscrew the cap in a clockwise motion to remove the fan blades.
Clean the fan blades and the internal part of the fan using a soft dry cloth. Reverse the procedure to put the fan back together. Make sure the locking cap is tightened securely.

REPLACING THE BATTERY

If the remote control fails to work whilst close to the fan, please replace the battery. The battery is a CR2025 and can be replaced following the steps in the diagram below.

REPLACING THE BATTERY

STORAGE

When storing the fan use the cable compartment at the back of the fan to store the mains cable. The cable compartment cover may be stiff to remove at first – use the small lever at the top to pull it away from the fan.

We recommend storing the fan its plastic bag or original box to protect the fan from dust.

Remember the fan can also be used in winter to help distribute warm air more effectively within a room.
