On the Control Panel, press the “Mode” button. Each press will cycle between, “Normal”, “Natural” and “Sleep” fan wind patterns.

a. Nor: The “Normal” Default Mode is set when the unit is first turned on. The wind remains a constant flow.
Note: The Red indicator light will change to Blue colour when the Fan is in use and set in Normal mode.
b. Nat: The “Natural” variable speed wind mode automatically selects one of three variable speed wind speed patterns. Each Pattern produces a different wind pattern depending on the Speed Setting Selected.
These Wind Patterns simulate the variable speed wind that you would experience outdoors.
c. Sleep: The “Sleep” mode 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 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.
