STRUCTURE
OPERATION
DISPLAY PANEL & REMOTE CONTROL
BEFORE FIRST USE
- Please read these instructions carefully before use and keep them for future reference.
- Check your local main voltage whether it is the same as stated on the appliance.
- Before using for the first time, remove any protective films or stickers from the appliance and ensure the power supply is “Off”.
IMPORTANT! First remove the pump paddle stopper (4) as shown below, then slide the pump paddle (5) to the bottom. This is so the pump extends down into the tank for cooling/humidification.
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.
On/Off Button
Press the On/Off button to turn the unit “On”. The default settings when first
turned on are; medium fan speed, normal mode, and no timer.
To turn the unit “Off” press this button again. The unit may take a few seconds to power off completely.
Fan Speed Button
The fan speed can be selected in the following sequence: silent > low > medium
high. The selected fan speed LED indicator light will illuminate accordingly.
Cooling Button
Press this button once to turn on the cooler/humidifier function, the pump
will start and the cooler LED will illuminate. Press this button again to turn
off the cooler function, and to use as a fan only.
Swing Button
Press this button to turn on the swing function, the louvres will move left to
right and the swing LED indicator light will illuminate. Press the button
again to turn off the swing function.
Timer Button
The timer can be set via the following sequence: 1H > 2H > 4H > 8H > Off. The
time isn’t accumulated and the MAX timer is 8H. The set time will be indicated
by the LED lights on the display panel.
Mode Button
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 ( NOTE: the natural and sleep modes are
unavailable if silent fan speed is selected).
Normal: Constant wind speed.
Natural: Changing wind speeds (the indicator lights only show the initial
wind speed when the speed changes, and other changes are not indicated).
Sleep: In natural sleep mode, the wind speed LED changes with the
30-minute cycle change, but does not indicate with the change of natural wind.
- High: 30 minutes high speed natural wind > 30 minutes medium level natural wind > low level natural wind (until turned off).
- Medium: 30 minutes medium level natural wind > low level natural wind (until turned off).
- Low: Low level natural wind (until turned off).
OTHER FUNCTIONS
Environmental protection function:
If no operation is detected within 60 seconds, all LED’s turn semi-bright.
When operation is detected, the LED’s enter full brightness immediately.
Water level protection function:
When the cooling function is first turned on, the water pump works for 50
seconds. If the low water is detected, then the pump will stop working and a
buzzer alarms for 10 seconds.
Separation power off function:
When the water pump is removed from the tank, the unit will turn off
immediately.
Air dry function
If the honeycomb filter needs to be dried after using the cooler/humidifier
function (e.g. before packing the unit away), press and hold the “fan speed”
button on the panel for 3 seconds to activate the air dry function. When the
air dry function is activated, the fan speed turns to high speed automatically
and runs for 20 minutes. During ‘Air dry’, other functions are turned off and
can’t be used. The high fan speed indicator will illuminate and flash for the
20 minute duration.
If the “On/Off” button is pressed before the 20 minutes are complete, the remaining ‘Air dry’ time won’t be saved, and you’ll need to start again.
Power failure memory function:
- If there is a power failure during operation, when power resumes, the unit will automatically turn back on and beep ten times. After 30 seconds the unit will resume the last settings it was operating in.
- To speed up the process, press the “On” button within 30 seconds of the power being restored, and it will operate immediately.
Prevent long time use
The unit turns off automatically after continuously working for 15 hours. This
function can prevent the unit from running for long periods, especially if the
user forgets to turn the unit “Off”.
Uninterrupted memory function:
When the unit is turned on and in a running state, it will resume the same
functions before it was last turned “Off” (except sleep and natural mode). The
timer also has an uninterrupted memory function.
Filling the water tank
In order to use the cooling/humidifier function, you need to fill the water
tank. For your convenience, the water tank can be filled from the top of the
unit (1) saving removing the water tank.
Filling from the top
Open the water cover (1), and slowly pour filtered/clean water into the
compartment with a jug (as per below), and then close the water cover.
Removing & filling the water tank
Loosen the water tank fixtures (6) on both sides of the unit, and slide the
pump paddle up (5) to move the pump to the top of the tank. The top part of
the unit should be free to detach from the water tank. Slowly pour water into
the water tank (7) with a jug.
Once the water tank has been filled to the MAX fill line, replace the top part of the unit back onto the water tank, fasten the water tank fixtures (6), and slide the pump paddle back into the water tank.
OTHER USES
This unit can also be used as a fan. Before using as a fan only, use the ‘air
dry’ function to completely dry the unit and the honeycomb filter. Follow
steps above ‘Removing & filling the water tank’, and remove the water tank
from the top part of the unit. Once the upper part is removed, it can be used
as a normal fan, ensuring it is placed on a stable level surface.
Using the Remote Control
- Open the battery cover of the remote control, and insert a 3V CR2032 battery.
- Please point to the receiver (9) when using the remote control.
- If the battery voltage is low, please open the battery cover as per the diagram and replace with a new battery (CR2032). Then replace the battery cover.
