Moving a fan on Shabbos

Hi,

One may move a fan on Shabbos in order to cause it to blow on him, or to not blow on him. [This assumes that moving it would not disrupt the flow of electricity.] This is called moving a kli shem'lachto l'issur l'tzorech gufo.

(Rav Moshe Feinstein, Igrot Moshe Orach Chaim 5:22:22 and Rivivot Ephraim 1:235)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
