3. Secure the product onto the surface and retighten the clip knob.
4. Route the cord through the cord clip located on the back of the product.

Because your PIVOT Clip moves a substantial amount of air, it will need regular cleaning. The fan has no user serviceable parts inside and cannot be opened for cleaning. Never clean the product in any manner other than instructed in this owner's guide.

2. Dust or wipe the circulator with a damp cloth.
3. Use the brush attachment on your household vacuum cleaner to vacuum any accumulated dust.

STORAGE
During the off-season or after extended periods of non-use, you may choose to store your circulator. To ensure long life of the product, it is recommended to store your circulator by following these instructions:

Cleaning is recommended before storage.

1. Unplug power cord and bundle loosely.
2. Cover, or place back in retail carton if available. This prevents circulator from accumulating dust over time.
