Tower fans- Clean your fan by using the brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner to vacuum the intake grills to remove lint and dirt. For safety purposes, never open these units for any reason.

The best way that I found to clean things like this is to find someone who has an air compressor and blow out the unit. But do this outside! The dust is usually unbearable. This is easier than losing small parts and can't hurt it at all!

turn the fan over. on the back you'll see ten holes around the circumference of the cage. use a torx screwdriver of the proper size and remove them. the front part of the cage will come off. the blades are a press fit over the shaft and locating pin. have someone hold the body and pull off the blade.

Yeah easy on the back near the handle there are two screws unscrew them next gently tug the back cover off and it will sound like it is break but it is just unclicking. And as always unplug the thing.

thank you for using fixya. The blade cage has locks and screws that you can remove from the back. once the cage has been removed, you can remove the blade attached to the motor using a vacuum cleaner or you can remove the blades by undoing the screw on the center detaching it from the motor.

When I called Seville Support I was told that you can NOT open fan to clean and may not get it together if attempted (glad I stopped when I did!).
You need to use air pressure. After using much of a can of compressed air such as you would use on a keyboard and not getting too far, I broke out my seldom used air compressor which kicked out enough dust bunnies as to block out the sun. Hint: be sure to use outdoors. I'm happy to report both units working as good as new.
Don't have an air compressor? Ask your neighbor, he'll need the correct nozzle to 'blow air' (it comes in handy for many tasks).
