Here are some tips you can use to maintain your electric fan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Avoid_Continuous_Use\"><\/span>1. Avoid Continuous Use<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although your electric fans are designed to be used for a long time. But, turning on the fan excessively can accelerate the process of engine wear.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This happens because the engine will continue to work as long as it is turned on. Then, you can actually cause an increase in temperature.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And on top of that, the high heat can also damage the internal components of your fan, such as the electrical motors and cables.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, turn off the fan when you are not using it. For example, when everyone is at work or school to avoid unnecessary overuse!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Clean_Your_Fan\"><\/span>2. Clean Your Fan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dust and dirt are the enemies of fans and other electrical devices. Dust can build up on the blades and disrupt airflow, causing the fan to work harder than it must be.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will reduce the efficiency of the fan&#8217;s performance while causing damage to the motor or other components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use a vacuum cleaner and clean the fan thoroughly or you can use the brush head of the vacuum to remove dust without disassembling the fan frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or even better, you can check the step-by-step guide on how to clean an electric fan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>Also Read: &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/step-by-step-on-how-to-properly-clean-an-electric-fan\/\">Step-by-Step on How to Properly Clean an Electric Fan<\/a>&#8220;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Regularly_Check_the_Electrical_Cord_of_Your_Fan\"><\/span>3. Regularly Check the Electrical Cord of Your Fan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Damaged or chipped wires can cause a short circuit or fire.Therefore, check the fan regularly.Starting from the blade, to the cable. Don&#8217;t ignore chipped or scratched parts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the cable looks damaged, replace it immediately to maintain safety and prevent further damage to the fan. Don&#8217;t wait until it&#8217;s severely damaged to fix it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other than to prevent the damage of your fan, regularly checking for your fan\u2019s electrical cord also will ensure the safety of your being and your properties, because as we all know, we\u2019re neither electric-proof or fire-proof, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Avoid_Contact_With_Water\"><\/span>4. Avoid Contact With Water<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We all know that water is the electrical device\u2019s worst enemy. So it seems logical to avoid water to maintain your electric fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The contact with water can cause short circuiting in internal parts of your electric fan thus damaging your fan completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, water can also cause rusting of metal components, which can also permanently damage the fan. So make sure to keep the fan away from water sources!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Lubricate\"><\/span>5.

If so, that might be the sign that your fan tells you that it needs to be lubricated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like other machines, there are lots of moving components of an electric fan that can wear and tear overtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To prevent this, make sure you regularly lubricate your fan. Also make sure you need a specialized lubricant for the electric fan\u2019s motor. Do it, and feel the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There you have it! The tips on how to maintain an electric fan!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The electric fan is one of the many products that are mandatory to be certified by the SNI certification in Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is because the risk of an electric fan might be concerning for the Indonesian consumers, as the fan that is not properly manufactured can cause a failure and be dangerous for the users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The electric fan that is about to be distributed in Indonesia must undergo a series of tests to determine its quality and safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After all of those tests have passed and the electric fan is met with the requirements that have been set, the electric fan is ready to be distributed and sold in the Indonesian market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the electric fan and other household electrical devices, the regulation is clearly stated in SNI IEC 60335-1:2009.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Maintain an Electric Fan &#8211; Sitting on your couch on a hot summer<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":2410,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[214],"tags":[149,8],"class_list":["post-2409","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fan","tag-fans","tag-sni"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2409","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2409"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2409\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2410"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2409"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2409"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2409"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
