Functions

Note: The buzzer beeps twice when the power supply is first turned on. The unit is in ‘standby’ until the On/Off button is pressed. The horizontal louvres need to be opend manually by hand.

ON/OFF
Press the ON/OFF button to turn the unit ON. The default settings when first turned on are low fan speed, normal wind mode, and no timer. When turning the unit back
on after powering it off, the state upon turning it off will be memorized, excluding the timer setting. If the sleep wind mode was on before turning it off, the mode will not be memorized after turning it on again, but the normal wind mode will start. To turn the unit OFF press this button again. It may take a few seconds to power off completely.
SWING
Press this button to turn on the SWING function, the vertical louvres will move left to right as the synchronous motor switches on/off the vertical fan blades.
SPEED
The fan SPEED can be selected in the following sequence: low (1) > medium (2) > high (3) > low (1)…. The selected fan speed LED indicator light will illuminate accordingly.
TIMER
The TIMER can be set in 1-hour increments up to the maximum timer of 9 hours. The set time will be indicated on the display panel and the time indicator turns on and
the display panel flashes to display the set time, indicating that it is in the timer setting state. At this moment, you can press the timer button to set the time,  press any key (except the switch key), or wait 5 seconds to exit the setting. After setting the timer, the display panel alternately displays the set timer and current wind speed at 10-second intervals, and the wind speed indicator and time indicator display correspondingly. When the internal timing program reaches the set time, the machine will shut down and stay in a standby state.
MODE
The default mode after turning “On” is normal. Press this button to select modes in this sequence: normal > natural > sleep. The MODE indicator light will illuminate accordingly. There is no indicator for the normal wind mode.
Normal: The fan runs at a fixed speed for the wind speed selected, without any change.
Natural: The fan motor runs irregularly according to the preset program, and can be set to the low, medium, and high natural wind in conjunction with the wind speed key.
Natural wind is to imitate the effect of natural wind, making the air volume softer and more comfortable.
Sleep: In natural sleep mode, the wind speed changes with a 30-minute cycle change, but does not indicate with the change of natural wind. The fan motor performs timing downshifting operation mode according to the wind speed set by the user and preset rule of the program. This mode prevents physical discomfort due to excessive wind when people fall asleep.
High: 30 minutes high-speed natural wind > 30 minutes medium level normal wind > 30 minutes low-level normal wind (until turned off).
Medium: 30 minutes medium level normal wind > low-level normal wind (until turned off).
Low: Low level normal wind (until turned off).

COOLER / HUMIDIFIER
Press this button once to turn on the COOLER / HUMIDIFIER function, the pump will start and the COOLER / HUMIDIFIER LED will illuminate. Press this button again to turn off the cooling function, and to use it as a fan only.

Other Functions

Environmental protection function:
In the power on state, if there is no operation of any key (including the remote control) for 1 minute all LEDs will dim to 33% of their original brightness. Press the key again to restore the brightness and perform the corresponding operation.
Water level protection function:
When the cooling function is first turned on, the water pump works for 50 seconds. If low water is detected, the pump will stop working and a buzzer alarm beeps 10 times.
Uninterrupted power memory function:
When the power is restored after a power outage, the fan will start in the state before shutting down when it is turned on again. The unit will restore to the previous settings.
Note: the previous function will be restored (except if in sleep mode). The timer is not memorised either.

Cleaning

Your unit is designed to remove dirt and other atmospheric impurities by drawing air through the wet curtain. DO NOT block the air filter, as this will impair the efficiency of the unit.

Wet Curtain

• In a smoky or dusty environment, this wet curtain will become grey in colour after one to two months.
• Disconnect the unit from the main supply. Gently soak the wet curtain in mild, soapy water for a few minutes, dry, and replace. Be sure to re-fit the rear screen securely. No special tools are required for this.

Water Tank
The water tank should be cleaned regularly, especially in hard water areas. If not cleaned, deposits may build up affecting the efficiency of the unit. Cleaning the tank with mild soapy water once every month is recommended. To do this, follow the steps below:

Completely remove the water tank from the unit by rotating the Cord winding frame clips 90° and removing the water tank by putting your hand into the water tank, rotating the fixing buckle 90°, and then push the water pump box assembly down to take it out, and finally take out the water tank. Remove any deposits or dirt from the tank with a mild, soapy detergent and cloth. Note: for hard water areas use a citric acid solution to descale & clean the tank. Mix 1 part citric acid to 20 parts water.
3. Flush the tank with clean water.
4. Replace the tank and make sure to secure it back in place by reversing the steps in point 2.

Outside Cabinet
