USER SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS

Fused plug

This plug is a safety feature. It contains a safety device (fuse) that should not be removed. Discard product if the attachment plug is damaged.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury, do not remove, replace, repair or tamper with the originally supplied plug.
If the fan does not function properly, it may be due to the safety device incorporated in this plug.
If the fuse fails, it is generally due to a short circuit or circuit overload. Replace the fuse as per the instructions below.
If the replacement fuse fails, immediately unplug the unit and contact Rowenta consumer services for assistance.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

Fuse replacement:

To replace the fuse, first turn the unit off and unplug it from the wall. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. Locate the fuse cover on the top of the plug. (A)
Open the fuse (B) by sliding the fuse cover on the top of the plug towards the blades.
Remove fuse (C) carefully by gently prying out the ends of the fuse from the receptacle. Warning! Only replace with a fuse type and rating matching what was removed from the product.
Risk of fire. Replace the fuse only with 2,5 Amp, 125 Volt fuse. Gently install replacement fuse back into the pins that will hold it in place. (D) Note: If the fuse is not seated properly, the unit will not function.
Close fuse cover (E) by sliding the fuse cover back over the fuse box in the plug until it is completely closed.
Plug the fan back in and resume use.

OPERATION

CAUTION: Do not try to raise the button (E) when the appliance is in use, as you could damage the oscillation mechanism.

When you switch the appliance on (plugged into the mains socket), the appliance is in “STAND BY” Mode (STOP). The electricity consumption is less than 0.5W.

Operate the fan using the ON / STAND BY button (A).
Then choose the speed you require by pressing once, twice or three times on the selection +/- button (B).
For high performance ventilation, press directly on the TURBO BOOST (C) button which will light up in blue.
You can stop the fan by using the ON / STAND BY (A) button.

IMPORTANT: We advise you to unplug your appliance when you are not using it.

REMOTE CONTROL

Remote control description:

Button A: ON/STAND BY
Button B: speed selector 1 / 2 or 3
Button C: 4th speed TURBO BOOST selector

Using the remote control:

Press once on the A button, the appliance starts on the last speed selected before STANDBY, then press again on button A: the appliance stops (STANDBY mode).
Buttons B and C will only work once the appliance is running:
Press repeatedly on button B to switch from the different speeds from 1 to 3.
Press on button C to enable/disable the TURBO BOOST speed.

How the remote control works:
The information is transmitted to your appliance by infra-red by means of a transmitter diode located on the front of the remote control. The infra-red receiver is located on the fan’s control panel. Make sure you don’t scratch the transmitter diode or your fan’s infra-red receiver. To use the remote control, point the transmitter diode in the direction of the fan’s infra-red receiver and press on the required button. Make sure that there aren’t any obstacles between the transmitter diode and the receiver.

Remote control power supply:
The remote control uses 2 x 1.5 V type AAA or LR03 alkaline batteries, which are not included. Place the batteries in their compartment making sure that you put them in with the positive and negative ends the right way round as shown in the battery compartment.

IMPORTANT: We advise you to unplug your appliance when it is not in use. When storing the appliance for a longer period of time, please remove the batteries from the remote control.
