Follow these precautions before assembly and use:

  • Only use with rated voltage: 120V, 60Hz.
  • Never repair or modify the appliance yourself. Contact qualified repair services.
  • Do not operate with wet hands.
  • If the supply cord of the tower fan is damaged, contact Aosom’s customer support for replacement. 
  • Always unplug the fan when not in use.
  • Do not insert objects into air outlets or inlets.
  • Place only on a flat, stable surface.
  • For indoor use only, do not use outdoors.
  • Keep away from explosive or flammable gases.
  • Do not overturn the fan. If toppled with water inside, unplug and dry thoroughly before reuse.
  • Do not place the fan immediately below a wall socket.
  • Keep away from bathrooms, showers, and pools.
  • Children must be supervised when near the appliance.

Pro Tip: Use the fan in open spaces with at least 12 inches of clearance around air outlets to ensure smooth airflow.

Preparing a Flat Surface and Accessories

Before beginning:

  1. Select a flat, level surface for assembly.
  2. Lay down a protective cloth or cardboard.
  3. Make sure the power cord runs freely through the fan body.

FAQs

1. Can I use a smart plug or timer switch with my tower fan?

Yes. Most tower fans work well with smart plugs or external timer switches as long as the device supports at least a 60-watt load. This allows you to schedule run times, turn the fan on or off remotely, and integrate it with other smart-home routines.

2. Is the fan compatible with a generator or backup power supply?

Yes. You can safely operate the fan with a generator or UPS as long as it delivers a steady 120 V, 60 Hz output. Avoid generators that produce fluctuating or “dirty” power because this can overheat or damage the motor and internal electronics over time.

3. Can I paint or customize the exterior of the tower fan?

Painting or adding stickers is not advised. Decorative coatings or adhesives can block the ventilation holes and reduce airflow, which traps heat and affects performance. It may also void the product warranty and shorten the life of the fan.

4. How can I reduce noise if the fan becomes louder over time?

First, unplug the unit and clean dust from vents, internal blades, and the base with a soft brush or vacuum. Check and tighten all screws to eliminate rattling, and make sure the fan sits on a level, vibration-free surface to keep operation quiet.
