How do you clean this Tower fan?

The grates come off really easily with a screw driver... pop them off and then use a paper towel.

Take it outside and blow it out with some compressed air. You can use glass cleaner for the base if it tickles your fancy.

I haven't done it yet but you take off the back with a screw driver and clean it.

Back panel comes off by unscrewing the philips head screw driver. Front panel is a little tricky. You have to pry open the silver/white circular cover first using a prying tool. Black mesh grille comes off by gently but firmly pushing corners from behind. So remove back panel first so you can push the black grille from behind.

No, you can not disassemble the fan to clean easily. That is, you'll have to unscrew six screws in back of the fan, and that only allows you to clean the back of the fan. Unfortunately, you'll need to dust clean your fan daily, to avoid any clutter. Other than that, the fan works great.

Yes. I am not home at the moment but I believe there are two small screws on the front. Remove those, pop the front off an wash it. The blades also slide off for easy cleaning. The remainder, just vaccum to remove dust. I love this fan and will purchase another when this one gets too old.

I only clean the unit after the winter weather is over. Just pull the front cover off, blow it out or use a duster. Their really isn't much to clean........

There are a bunch of screws on the back panel an once you take it off it's easy to wipe off the fan blades with cleaning spray and paper towels.

I dont take mine apart. Rather, I use a duster to dust the inside of the fan.

I got the same Fan here, and is true that it get a little dirty with the use. The best thing to get it clean is to get a air spray (the one to use to clean keyboard in computers) and spray it all over inside. Spray hard air in to it, blows away most of the dust. Hope this help.

I never tried to open mine & am not sure u should! ;) I use compressed air (like those cans sold for use on computers) & a vacuum & wipe it down. According to user manual: "The fan grilles are removable for cleaning by gently prying the grille from fan using a small screwdriver on the rim of the grille. (DO NOT INSERT SCREWDRIVER INTO THE GRILLE). Use only a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the fan clean." http://homeappliance.manualsonline.com/manuals/mfg/honeywell/hw628.html?p=6

Canned compressed air and a brush with long bristles will work, like a dustpan brush. They also make a similar model fan where you can remove the housing. I bought this model because it was so cheap.

Yes. I had this same question and e-mailed the company. They said to remove the screws from the back and then pry the front and back apart with a screwdriver. Another person said his housecleaner said to just take the fan into the shower and hose it off from the front and that he has done this ever since. Just try not to get water on the motor, a little won't hurt but don't soak the motor. But that does not take care of the back of the blades. I have cats and the blades get really dirty with their hair and dander. Prying the font and back apart is a pain but it can be done and then you can reach the back of the blades too. I wish Lasko would eliminate this problem in their design because I think this is the best fan ever.

Haven't cleaned it but I suppose a microfiber cloth and/or compressed air like any small electronic. It's a great little fan.

Remove the four Phillips head screws on the back of the part that the fan blades are contained within, it should snap out/off so that you can get access to the fan blades to clean dust build up off them.

Unscrew the handle to your bristle broom and use the bottom portion to brush off the dirt. Works in all the crevices in the fan covers.

Very easy to clean. Easiest way to clean these fans is to get a can of "Air Duster"....(You can get it anywhere.) Spray the air duster on the fan. Also, for light dusting, once a week use a Swiffer hand-duster....it's wonderful! My fans work great following these easy steps! Hope this helps. Good luck. Great fan!

I have never attempted to take the fan apart, because, so far, I haven't needed to. I just dust it, regularly, and use a hand held vacuum to it...still seems bright and new, and not dusty. I like the fan very much....CHEERS!!

You will have to take off the circular top where the air comes out to expose the fan blades, clean them with q-tips of other small cleaning instrument, then clean wipe the top "loop amplifier" with a dry or damp cloth.

We rinse it clean with warm water and pat dry with a towel. You could also use a type of wipe to clean it.
