Place the unit on a flat and stable surface and connect the power cord to a suitable power outlet (230 V~): the appliance
can be switch on using the ON/OFF switch.
This product can be used as a fan – in 4 modes (Normal, Natural, Sleep and ECO-Normal) and with 3 fan speed
options (medium-low, high and low).
The buttons are all touch controls, so the functions can be activated by touching the corresponding buttons on the control
panel.
When the appliance is switched on, all the LED lights turn on for 2 seconds and emit a double beep to signal that the unit
is functioning correctly. All the LED lights then turn off and the unit enters the stand-by mode.
In stand-by mode only the ON/OFF button works, so pressing it allows for starting the unit. The unit is initially set to low
speed in NORMAL mode without the timer nor the rotation function, as evidenced by the lit LEDs.
Memory function
All the operating modes, with the exception of the Timing and Sleeping modes, will be memorised; the fan will operate
with the same functions when switched on the next time.
Energy saving function
The LED indicators will automatically lower their original brightness by 30% if no operations occur on the control panel
after 1 minute. Pressing any button again restores the original brightness.
DISPLAY AND CONTROL PANEL
ON/OFF BUTTON
Press the ON/OFF button to switch the appliance on. When the appliance is switched on it enters the stand-by mode and
all the LED lights turn on for 2 seconds.
MODE BUTTON
The fan is initially set to Normal mode; press the MODE button to select other operating modes: ‘Normal’ –
‘Natural’ – ‘Sleeping’ – ‘ECO-Normal’. Depending on the selected mode, the corresponding LED indicator will
light up; the LED indicator does not light up in Normal mode, but does so in the other corresponding modes.
Press the MODE button to select the fan speed:
- Normal mode: the unit operates with three constant ventilation speeds: high, medium and low.
- Natural mode: the unit operates by alternating the three ventilation speeds according to the following schemes in
relation to the set ventilation speed.

- Sleeping mode: the unit operates at high natural ventilation speed and decreases by one level every 30 minutes;
1. High speed: the unit operates for 30 minutes according to the high-speed Natural mode scheme (see previous page);
30 minutes according to the medium-speed Natural mode then continues operating according to the low-speed
Natural mode scheme.
2. Medium speed: the unit operates for 30 minutes according to the medium-speed Natural mode scheme (see previous
page) then continues operating according to the low-speed Natural mode scheme.
3. Low speed: the unit operates according to the medium-speed Natural mode scheme (see previous page) then
continues operating according to the low-speed Natural mode scheme.
- ECO-Normal mode:
The Eco-Normal mode has the following specific functions: when the ambient temperature is below 25°C, the unit
operates at low ventilation speed; when the ambient temperature is between 25°C and 29°C, the unit operates at medium
ventilation speed; when the ambient temperature exceeds 29°C, the unit operates at high ventilation speed.
In this mode the ventilation speed cannot be adjusted and the Speed LED does not light up.
TIMER BUTTON
While the unit operates, the time can be set to one of the following settings: 1h – 2h – 4h – 8h. Once a time has been set,
the corresponding LED indicator will light up on the display. Once the set time has elapsed, the appliance will return to the
stand-by mode.
SPEED BUTTON
When the appliance is switched on, press the SPEED button to choose between the medium-low, high or low speed
setting. The corresponding LED indicator will light up.
VERTICAL SWIVELLING BUTTON AND PRESENCE SENSOR
When the appliance is on, press this button to set the horizontal swivelling range: 0° (no horizontal swivelling) 60°, 90°,
180°, 360°; the indicators will light up depending on the selected swivelling range.
To activate the presence sensor press and hold for 2.5 seconds: the appliance will emit a double beep and the LED
indicators of the swivelling range will light up in succession.
The presence sensor activates once the unit has rotated through 360° and after the swivelling button has been pressed
again; in this case, the sensor attempts to detect any people present then selects the correct swivelling range
automatically.
If no person is detected, the unit makes a new attempt by automatically repeating the 360° rotation movement. If new
people appear after the appliance has already selected the swivelling range, the users must press the button again to
activate the presence sensor.
If several people are present, the appliance will modify its tilt angle to approach each person and guarantee the
appropriate level of comfort for each specific position.
The sensor detects the presence of people within 2 metres from the fan.

REMOTE CONTROL
INFORMATION FOR THE CORRECT DISPOSAL OF BATTERIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH EUROPEAN DIRECTIVE
2006/66/EC
Replace batteries when they are depleted. At the end of their life, batteries must be disposed of separately from unsorted waste.
They must be taken to designated recycling centres or returned to a retailer providing this service. Separate disposal of batteries
prevents potential negative effects on the environment and human health due to inadequate disposal, and also allows for
recovering and recycling their constituent materials, resulting in significant savings in terms of energy and resources. The
separate disposal obligation is underlined by the crossed-out dustbin symbol appearing on the battery. Illegal disposal of the
product by the user implies administrative sanctions applied as per current regulations.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
CAUTION: ALWAYS UNPLUG THE APPLIANCE BEFORE CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE
OPERATIONS.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT SUBMERGE THE PRODUCT IN WATER.
Cleaning the outside surface of the appliance
If the front grille of the fan is excessively dusty or dirty, the outward flow of air may be hampered; for this reason, the fan
should be cleaned frequently, at least once a month.
Use a soft cloth to remove any dust from the product. Should this not suffice, use a soft cloth dampened with water and a
neutral detergent. Let the appliance dry completely before using it.
Do not use corrosive detergents or solvents such as petrol. Do not wash the appliance with water. When cleaning the
appliance, do not use oils, chemical substances or other items that may damage the surface.
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from the air inlet/outlet grilles.
STORAGE
If the appliance is not used for prolonged periods, disconnect the power cord and store the appliance with this manual in its
original packaging, in a cool and dry place.
INFORMATION FOR THE CORRECT DISPOSAL OF THE PRODUCT IN ACCORDANCE WITH EUROPEAN
DIRECTIVE 2012/19/EU
This appliance must not be disposed of with household waste when it reaches the end of its useful life. We highlight the
crucial role played by the consumer in contributing to the reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery of such waste.
The dismantled appliance, with its components collected separately, must be delivered to the local waste disposal
facility or returned to the dealer free of charge when purchasing a new equivalent appliance.
Sorted disposal of electric and electronic equipment prevents potentially negative consequences on the environment
and human health due to improper scrapping, and also allows the constituent materials to be recovered and recycled,
with significant savings in terms of energy and resources.
The sorted disposal requirement is indicated by the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol affixed to the product.
