4. Remove the fan blade cap. Hold the fan blades in place while rotating the fan blade cap clockwise to remove it from the shaft.

5. Remove the fan blades by gently pulling them out. With a slightly damp cloth, wipe down the interior parts of the fan.

6. Carefully replace the blades onto the center shaft.

7. Reinstall the fan blade cap. Hold the fan blades in place while rotating the fan blade cap counterclockwise to reinstall it to the shaft.

It is recommended to clean the misting nozzles every 12 months or as needed. To clean the misting nozzles:

1. Carefully remove each brass nozzle. CAUTION: Residual pressure may remain in the misting system.

2. To remove a nozzle, twist it counterclockwise. DO NOT use a wrench or any other tool. WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD. Keep nozzles out of reach of children.

3. Soak the nozzles in a solution of undiluted distilled white vinegar (5% acetic acid by volume) to loosen debris that may be clogging or restricting water flow. DO NOT soak the nozzles for more than 2 hours.

4. After soaking the nozzles in the solution, rinse them thoroughly with water.

5. Carefully reinstall each nozzle by twisting clockwise until you feel resistance.

Note: the hardness of your water source will impact the frequency at which the misting nozzles will need to be maintained.

It is recommended to clean the water tank and misting hose with unscented soap and water every 3 months or as needed. Ensure you empty and dry the water tank and misting hose after every use.
