Beyond Bending Tell You How
Keeping your Vornado fan clean is essential for maintaining its functionality and prolonging its lifespan. Regular cleaning ensures that the fan blows clean air and reduces the risk of it breaking down. In this article, we’ll guide you on how to take apart a Vornado fan to clean it.
Gather the Necessary Tools
Before getting started, you need to gather the necessary tools. You will need a soft-bristled brush, a microfiber cloth, a screwdriver, and a bowl of warm soapy water. Ensure that the water is warm and not hot to avoid damaging the fan.
Unplug the Fan
The first step in taking apart your Vornado fan is to unplug it from the power source. This ensures your safety and prevents the risk of electrocution.
Remove the Front Grill
Using a screwdriver, remove the screws holding the front grill in place. Once the screws are removed, gently pull the grill towards you to detach it from the fan. You can then clean the grill using a soft-bristled brush and a microfiber cloth.
Take Apart the Blades
After removing the front grill, you can now access the blades. Carefully remove the blades one by one and place them in the bowl of warm soapy water. Scrub them gently with a soft-bristled brush to remove any dirt or debris. Once clean, rinse the blades with clean water and dry them using a microfiber cloth.
Wipe Down the Interior
With the blades removed, you can now wipe down the interior of the fan using a microfiber cloth. Pay attention to the motor and electrical components, ensuring that they remain dry at all times.
Reassemble the Fan
Once all the parts are clean and dry, you can reassemble your Vornado fan. Start by attaching the blades to the fan and then reattaching the front grill using the screws removed earlier. Plug in the fan and test it to ensure it’s working correctly.
