IMPORTANT: BEFORE STARTING:
•Make sure the ball valve of the fan is placed in the OFF position. (fig. 1)
•Turn the mist control valve clockwise, until the valve is closed. (fig. 2)
•Connect the water hose connector to your garden hose. (fig. 3)
•Please keep the mist fan 12 feet away from your furniture and other electrical appliances. (fig. 4)
Misting ON/OFF control
Mist ON
Press the rocker switch to the ON position. (fig. 5)/
Turn the ball valve to the ON position (fig. 6)
Open the flow control valve until mist is visible, then refer to ADJUSTING MIST DENSITY section, to get
an optimal mist performance. (fig.7)
Mist OFF
Turn the ball valve to OFF position (fig.8)
To prevent the accumulation of mineral deposits, let the pump run for 2 minutes after closing the ball valve
so the air pump can clear the remaining water from the nozzles. Turn the pump switch to the OFF
position when complete. (fig.9)

Rev. A 07/10 AMMF16R 9
ADJUSTING MIST DENSITY
CAUTION: Do not over tighten and/or loosen the water flow control valve.
The misting function of this fan is adjusted by rotating the flow control valve on the fan pole assembly
counter clockwise to decrease mist density or counter-clockwise to increase mist density. It may take a
minute for a new misting fan to start misting. It is normal for air to come out of the nozzles before water
and the mist.
To optimize the cooling effectiveness of the system, you can:
•Operate the unit with a DRY or WET mist, based on your needs.
•To increase the mist density, turn the mist control valve counterclockwise. (fig.10)
•To decrease the mist density, turn the mist control valve clockwise. (fig.11)
5.Operating Tips
For dry climates, increasing the water flow will provide maximum cooling results. In humid climates, a
reduced water flow is recommended.
