OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Remove the product from the packaging and review the instructions and other included accessories. The unit can be used immediately after being removed and unpacked.

FILLING THE WATER TANK

We recommend filling your water tank first before operating the unit, so that the evaporative cooling will be functional right away. The water tank can be pulled out of the bottom of the back of the unit, and filled up to the max fill line. Your unit comes with ice packs, which can be placed inside the tank on the left side (there should be an icon indicating this location). These will help the cooler put out even colder air.

Once the water tank is full, press the On/Off button. Then, press the Cooler/Humidifier button to turn on the water pump. The water pump will enable evaporative cooling, as it draws water up and runs it through the cooling pad.

USING THE REMOTE CONTROL

One battery (CR2032 3V) is used in the remote control. Please insert the battery into the remote control tightly based on the direction of the polarity. If the remote will not be used for a long time, please remove the battery and store safely.

Used batteries should be disposed of properly, and kept away from children.
Please note that even used batteries could be hazardous.

CONTROL & DISPLAY PANELS

CONTROL PANEL USE

When the unit is first turned on with the On/Off button, it will beep twice, the air outlet will rotate from the current angle to 0°, and the system enters the standby state. If there is no button operation within 1 minute, the indicator light will darken. If the button is pressed again, the indicator light will turn back to full brightness.

The unit can be operated by pressing the button on the control panel. The instructions are as follows:

ON/OFF CONTROL
Press the “On/Off” button for the first time to enter the normal fan speed—this will cause the air outlet to automatically rotate out toward the front. Press the “On/Off” button again to shut down— this will cause the fan to stop running and hide the air outlet. At this point, the fan is in standby mode. To completely turn off the fan, press the On/Off button.
Note: In order to extend the life of the product, it is recommended to completely power off the product after each use

TIMER
Press the “Timer” button to select 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours or 8 hours. If the LED is off, it means that the timer function is not set.
After selecting the time, the LED indicator will display the set time and will automatically shut down after the selected time has elapsed.

COOLER/HUMIDIFIER
Press the “Cooler/Humidifier” button to enable the water pump. If the water pump is running, water will flow down through the cooling pad and offer cooler air than the fan-only setting

SWING FUNCTION

Press the “Swing” button to make the fan oscillate at a range of 50 degrees, and then press it again to stop the oscillation.

MODE SELECTION

Press the “Mode” button to select normal mode, nature mode or sleep mode, and the LED indicator will light up accordingly: Nature mode ( ), sleep mode ( ).

Nature mode: The fan is automatically set to match the air conditioner, and will occasionally change speeds, mimicking a natural breeze.

Sleep mode: The fan speed changes at regular intervals to provide a comfortable sleeping environment. In sleep mode, the high, medium, and low speeds will all be cycled through.

Note: In nature mode, the fan speed button is not available, so the speed indicator will not light up on the top control panel.

FAN SPEED SELECTION

After the power is turned on, the fan will begin in normal mode. You can press the “Speed” button to change the fan speed to high, medium, low, and silent. The LED indicator will light up accordingly: High → Medium → Low → Quiet

Note: If you select the low speed, the motor will start at medium speed for a few seconds and then switch to low speed.

When the fan is turned on in standby state, all functions except timer and sleep mode have memory settings.
