How to Use this Product Effectively
A circulator is...
Circulate the air in the room
The main role of the circulator is “ensuring air circulates around the entire room”.
By blowing air toward the ceiling and walls, the effectiveness, not only of air-conditioning
in summer, but also of heating in winter, is increased by a wide margin, saving power
and achieving energy efficiency.
In addition to the method of use introduced on this page, this product can be set up in
various locations, and with various fan orientations, to increase the circulation of air in a room.
Customers are recommended to discover for themselves the most efficient placement
and orientation for their individual environment.
In addition, the product can also be conveniently used to reduce the
drying time needed for wet clothes being dried inside a room, through
the direct application of blown air. However, in that case, caution
must be taken, for safety reasons, to ensure a strict separation
between the product and the objects being dried.
To circulate the air in the room evenly, it is recommended to
set up the device in the center of the space, with the fan
aimed upward.
The air expelled from the circulator hits the ceiling and then
moves along the walls to create an efficient air circulation
through out the room.

energy

When using for
ventilation, set up
facing outside
In a stairwell or atrium
In the center of a large room
For ventilation set the air circulator up
in front of the window facing outward
and sending a flow of air out the
window. At the same time, if you open
the window on the opposite side of the
room, it will be even more effective.
In the case of two adjoining
rooms, you can install the
product at the point where
the two rooms are joining to
circulate air in both rooms.
In this case, if you set the
product up so that the air
flow from the air-
conditioner strikes the
back of the air circulator, it
will be even more effective.
The product can also be used for air
circulation in a comparatively large
space, such as a stairway or an atrium.
Opening a nearby window or door
will be even more effective.

This product is a circulator, designed for circulating the air in a room. Where dust has built up
on and around the guard, this may decrease the effectiveness of the fan. Where continuous
usage is intended, maintenance, as detailed below, should be carried out on a roughly
bi-weekly basis.
* When removing the Fan Guard for maintenance etc., make sure to disconnect the AC
adapter from the power outlet.
When cleaning, be sure to wear heavy-duty gloves.
In the case of continuous usage over a period of time, maintenance
should be carried out once every two weeks.
