Fig 1                                                           Fig 2

Safely turn the assembled anti-topple base on its side and securely tighten the assembly using the hexagon screw and the Allen key provided (Fig 2). Return the unit back to an upright position.

Connect the power adaptor into the power inlet found on the anti-topple base. The air circulator is now ready for use.
Note: When you plug in the fan for the fist time, a “BiBi” sound alert means that the fan is correctly connected.

Where to position your air circulator

WARMER MONTHS:

Cool air tends to sink to the floor. During warm weather, point the air circulator facing towards a wall on high speed, angled halfway between the ceiling and floor. The circulator will efficiently cool the room down by forcing the cool air to move, creating air circulation patterns.
When using an air conditioner, point the air circulator from the back of the room towards the bottom of the air conditioner at a 30° angle to intensify the cool air and distribute the cool air faster and more efficiently around the room. Use the horizontal oscillation for even better distribution.

COOLER MONTHS:

Warm air naturally rises towards the ceiling. When using a heater, the warm air produced will move up. Point the air circulator fan up at a 90° angle. By pointing the air circulator upwards, the hot air will circulate with the cooler air near the floor, resulting in better distribution of room temperature.

OPERATING YOUR CLEAN AIR OPTIMA AIR CIRCULATOR:

1. Place the air circulator on a flat surface. Use the Where to Position Your Air Circulator section in this book for positioning depending on requirements.
2. Insert the power cord into a power outlet and switch the power button on. The LED display will illuminate to display the current room temperature. The air circulator is now in standby mode.
3. Touch the power button to turn the air circulator on. The air circulator will automatically start in NORMAL mode at fan speed 1. To return to standby mode at any time during operation, touch the power button.

CAUTION:
Never insert fingers, pencils or any other objects through the guards whenever the power plug is connected, in particular while the air circulator is switched on.

ROOM AMBIENT TEMPERATURE:

Your Clean Air Optima Air Circulator is fitted with a temperature sensor that detects the room temperature which will display through the LED display. The figure displayed is only an indication of the room temperature and will vary depending on the location of the air circulator in the room.
The LED display shows ambient temperature only, or cycles to show the ambient temperature and the setting depending on the selected mode.

Remote control

1. Open the battery cover at the back side of remote control to place the battery, (see Picture 1).

2. To place the battery: there is a “security tab” at the bottom of the remote control that you first have to
   slide to the right and then pull out the battery holder, (see Picture 1). Insert the battery with the correct polarity, (see Picture 2).

3. Push the battery cover back into the remote control.
