Assembly

Base and Stand
Your Fan has been boxed unassembled to minimize packaging waste. Each part is designed to fit together and be disassembled easily for cleaning or storage.

• First, unscrew the Locking Lever and Washer from the bottom of the stand post.
• Insert the plastic collar into the top of the plastic base cover.
• Insert the bottom of the stand post into the collar.
• Whilst holding the cover and post together, tip up so that the underneath of the cover is accessible.
• Place the Weight in the center of the cover and over the end of the post.
• Fasten in place by use of the Locking Lever and Washer and tighten.

Attach Head to Stand

• Stand the Base with the attached post on the floor.

• Loosen (anticlockwise) the post-height adjustment locking ring, pull out the inner chrome tube to the desired height and then retighten the locking ring.

• Place the Motor assembly at the top of the Stand Post and lower it down all the way.
  Note : if the motor assembly will not slide down the chrome post, loosen the thumb screw on the back of the motor assembly until it can slide down.

• Tighten the thumb screw (Clockwise). Do Not overtighten

Safety Grille and Fan Blade

• To assemble the safety grille and blade assembly, first remove the Fan Guard Nut (Anticlockwise) from the front of the fan motor housing.

• The Fan Control Panel consists of On/Speed and Off Functions.

Using the Fan
The Fan has three speed settings: Low, Med and High.

• After ensuring the Fan has been assembled correctly, plug into the power point and switch on. The Red “Power” indicator will light up.

• Press the “ON/SPEED” button on the fan control panel or the remote control once. The “LOW” light and Mode light will illuminate. The fan will start to spin at Low Speed
  Note : The Red Light for Mode indicates “Normal” continuous Fan Speed.

• For Medium Fan Speed, press the “ON/SPEED” button again. The MED light will illuminate and the fan will speed up.

• For High Fan Speed, press the “ON/SPEED” button again. The HIGH light will illuminate and the fan will speed up.
  NOTE : Pressing the “ON/SPEED” button again will cycle the speed back to LOW, and so on.

• To turn the fan off, press button “OFF” Button on the remote control or on the fan control panel.

Fan Modes

• The Fan has three modes being: Normal, Natural, and Sleep.
  NOTE : Modes can only be selected with the remote control by pressing the “Mode” button.

• With the Fan running in “Normal” mode (Red Mode Light), press the “MODE” button on the remote control and the mode will change to “Natural” mode (Green Mode Light).

• Press the “MODE” button again and the mode will change to “Sleep” mode (Mode Light will turn Off).

• Press the “MODE” button again, and it will cycle back to “Normal” mode. (Red Mode Light)

Normal Mode
The “Normal” Mode (Red Light) is set by default when the unit is first turned on. The wind remains a constant flow.

Natural Mode

• The “Natural” mode (Green Light) creates variable Wind Patterns so as to simulate the variable winds that you would experience outdoors.
• In this mode the speed of the fan continually cycles through a mixed selection of low, medium, high and off in set intervals.
• Depending on which Fan Speed is selected, the wind pattern will be different

Sleep Mode

• The “Sleep” mode (No Mode Light) creates wind patterns that are the same as the Natural Mode wind patterns, however, when the fan is set to either Medium or High Speed, the pattern will drop a speed level after approximately 30 minutes.
• For Example: If High-Speed Fan and the Sleep Mode is selected, this will be the same wind pattern as the High-Speed setting in Natural Mode. However, after approximately 30 minutes, the wind pattern will automatically drop down to the same wind pattern as if Natural Mode was selected at Medium fan speed.
• After approximately a further 30 minutes, the wind pattern will automatically drop down to the same wind pattern as if Natural Mode was selected at low fan speed.
• The fan will continue to run in the Low-Speed Natural Mode until manually turned off.
  Note : To have the fan automatically turn off at your desired time in this mode, use the “Timer” function to select the auto-off timer.

Timer

• Use this power-saving feature if you want the appliance to turn off automatically.
• To select the Off time, press the “TIMER” button on the remote control once. It will advance to 0.5h as indicated by the indicator lights. The fan will turn off after approximately 0.5 hours
• Each consecutive press will advance the timer at 0.5h increments until it reaches a maximum time of 7.5h.
• The time set will be indicated by the sum of the lights which are illuminated. i.e. if the 0.5h + 2h + 4h lights are illuminated, this adds up to 6.5 hours. The fan will turn off after approximately 6.5 hours
• To turn off the timer, or to reset to a new time, continue to press the “TIMER” button until it cycles back to where no timer lights are illuminated.
• Press the “OFF” button to turn the appliance off.

Oscillating (Swing) Function

• The fan is fitted with an Oscillating function where when activated, the fan head will swing from side to side.
• Push the clutch knob down to activate the oscillating function. The fan head will swing from side to side whilst blowing air.
• To stop the oscillation, allow the Fan head to move into the desired position and then pull the clutch knob up.

Note : The head can be manually rotated left or right to align the head with the center of the “swing” using a ratchet system. Do Not force it beyond where it stops physically stops
