USE

During the initial period of use of the device, a post-production odour may be emitted from it.

MOUNTING THE DEVICE
Remove all parts of the set from the packaging. Check each component for damage. Connect both parts of the fan base (4) as shown below

Pass the power cord (3) through the hole in the base and attach the base to the bottom of the fan (2). Screw the base to the fan using the mounting screws (5) and a screwdriver with Phillips head (not supplied) as shown in the adjacent illustration. v Route the fan’s power cable in the channel on the underside of the base. This will allow the fan to stand firmly on flat surfaces. When dismantling, unscrew the base and detach it from the fan, then disconnect the base parts. The dismantled appliance should preferably be placed in its original packaging for storage or transport

All operations should be carried out gently so as not to damage the components.

SWITCHING THE DEVICE ON AND OFF
Make sure your hands are dry before operating the unit. Mounted and properly prepared and placed device should be plugged into a power outlet. To switch the fan on/off touch the ON/OFF button (10) on the housing or press it on the infrared remote control pointing towards the device. The use of the buttons is confirmed by a short beep.

THE USE OF THE EQUIPMENT
The fan can be controlled by touch buttons on the casing or by an infrared remote control.

The effective range of the infrared remote control is up to 5m, depending on the battery used. When switched on, the fan starts at the highest speed, the timer and oscillating movement are disabled.

The timer button (6) marked with this symbol is used to set the fan switch-off delay. The switch-off delay can be adjusted from 0.5 to 7.5 hours with one half an hour increments. Successive tapping of the button on the unit or pressing it on the remote control increase the switch-off delay time by half an hour. Once the maximum delay has been reached, the next press of the button will change the delay to zero, i.e. turn it off. Four LEDs located above the control buttons inform about the approximate remaining time of the fan operation. Add the values under the lit LEDs to determine the remaining operating time.
The air flow button (7) marked with this symbol is used to adjust the fan speed. Three speed levels are available, which are changed sequentially by pressing the appropriate button on the device or remote control.
The operating mode button (8) marked with this symbol switches between different modes of the fan. Operation mode: Normal, Nature, Night,
- Normal mode – the default operating mode activated every time the unit is switched on, characterised by constant airflow depending on the currently set fan speed.
- Nature mode (NT) – is characterised by a variable airflow simulating wind.
- Sleep mode (SL) – is characterised by variable airflow with long intervals of quiet operation.
The oscillating button (9) marked with this symbol switches on/off the oscillating move of the fan

Fan oscillation, shut-off delay and speed can be controlled in each mode.
