Otherwise, the fan will spin up way faster than it’s designed to, which could damage the fan motor and the fan bearings. When you get to the fan, be sure to use a finger to hold the fan in place and keep it from spinning while you use the compressed air.
You don’t want to necessarily give it wide-open throttle, since there’s the risk of damaging components. Next, take your can of compressed air and gently begin blowing out dust anywhere you see it.
So if your house is particularly dusty, you might have a decent cleanup job ahead of you. This is likely where there’s the most dust buildup, since cooling fans suck in air from the surrounding area.
