How to assemble the base
Carefully remove the split base and the tower fan from its packaging.
Pass the power cord between the center of the two halves split the base and
fit the two halves together by lining the overlap bosses on the bottom (with
cable exit) with their pockets on the other half dropping into place and
pressing together.
Bring the assembled base up to the bottom of the tower and line up the small
pillar on the top of the raised center of the base with the matching hole in
the base socket location of the tower fan, pull the cable through fully so it
doesn’t interfere with the fitting together.
Take the 4 large screws provided and pass them through the holes in the
circular bosses (located around the central hub on the underside of the base)
into the bottom of the tower, screw fix them firmly in place.
Carefully fit the cable through the slot to the backside of the hub and then
through the guide location channel at the outside of the circular base to exit
level with the base through the channel at the back. The XPP Cooling fan is
now ready to stand and operate.
THIS IS NOT A FAULT
If the fan speed varies randomly including stopping and starting automatically
you have selected either NATURAL or NIGHTIME Variable Blower Mode which
simulates different breezy conditions. To de-select this mode you must press
the button to change back to constant blowing mode, please refer to section
‘d’ following on how to change modes. To run in constant speed mode only use
the button to select the speed you require, please refer to section ‘b’
following.
Operating Instructions
The LED display screen on the control panel of the product illuminates to
display the function you have selected when the fan is operating.
a. Turning on/off the fan: Gently press the “Standby” button on the soft-
touch button control panel or the wireless remote control.
b. Adjusting and Selecting Speed: 3 content speeds can be selected by
pressing the button either on the control panel or on the remote. Each time
you press this button the speed will cycle from I to II to III and back to
‘I’ again. Where “I” = Low Speed, “II” = Medium Speed, and “ III”
= High Speed.
c. Oscillating function: The product oscillates in an arc from left to
right and back again continuously thus circulating the airflow over a wider
area. To start the tower fan oscillating simply press the oscillating button
on the control panel for less than 2 seconds or the button on the remote and
the symbol will light up on the control panel. Press this button a second time
to stop the oscillating.
d. Variable Blower Function Selection: The product can be set to
automatically vary the speed output to simulate different breezy conditions.

press the button on the remote or press and hold the dual control button on
the control panel for at least 2 seconds. There are two selections available:
- The first mode activated will be the ‘natural breeze’ selection and the symbol will light up on the control panel. In this mode, the fan speed will continuously and randomly vary between speed levels (including off) to simulate variable wind conditions.
- Pressing the on the remote a second time or pressing and holding the dual control button on the control panel again for at least 2 seconds activates ‘night time’ selection and the symbol will light up on the control panel. In this mode, the fan speed varies automatically between speed levels (including off) at a less noticeable rate than the ‘natural breeze’ selection.
– Pressing the button a third time for more than 2 seconds will change it back to constant normal blowing mode.
e. Runback Timer function: The product can be set to switch off
automatically after running for one of the four user-selectable runback
