How It Works
Where To Position
In contrast to a traditional fan which brings only cooling benefits when directly
facing you; an air circulator works for any season, keeping the air in motion and
making the entire room more comfortable to be in.
This jet stream helps maintain a constant room temperature by ridding the room
of cold and warm spots. It also clears stuy atmospheres by circulating stale air
with fresh air from an open window.
Air circulators are the safe, all-year-round temperature regulation solution you’ve
been looking for.
During Summer, pointing the air circulator towards a wall halfway between the
floor and the ceiling, as well as using the highest setting, will set up a high speed
air circulation pattern.
This will cool down the room in an ecient manner. Pointing towards your
air conditioner will help distribute the cool air faster, saving time and energy;
essentially Turbo boosting your A/C.
During Winter, the use of a heater alone produces warm air that rises naturally to
the ceiling.
By pointing the air circulator upwards, and utilising the lowest speed setting, the
hot air will circulate with the cooler air near the floor, resulting in a more even
room temperature.

buttons to set the desired fan speed. The selected speed will still show on the
LED Display.
NATURAL MODE
Press this button (or the MODE button on the remote) to activate the NATURAL

once selected. When the unit is in this mode, it automatically cycles through
the speeds in pre-set intervals. The 24 speeds are divided into 3 groups. Speeds
1-8 are group 1, speeds 9-16 are group 2, and speeds 17-24 are group 3. Refer to
below:

NOTE: The LED display will only show speeds 8/16/24, depending on the group
selected.
To exit NATURAL MODE, press the button again.
SLEEP MODE
Press this button (or the MODE button on the remote) to activate the SLEEP
MODE. The SLEEP MODE indicator light will illuminate on the control panel once
selected. There are 3 x dierent sleep settings depending on the FAN SPEED.
Refer to below:

Middle Speed + Natural Mode> Low Speed+ Natural Mode.
• Middle Sleeping Mode: 30 minutes Middle Speed + Natural Mode > Low
Speed+ Natural Mode
• Low Sleeping Mode: Low Natural Mode.
To exit SLEEP MODE, press the button again.

Over time, dust can accumulate on the grille covers and fan blades, which can
aect the fans performance. It is recommended to clean the fan at least once a
month.
1. Turn the unit OFF and disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
2. Remove any dust build up with a soft brush.
3. To clean the fan blades, remove the screw positioned at the front of the grille
and turn the front grille counterclockwise.
4. Once the fan blade is clean, reassemble by following the instructions in
reverse.
5. Wipe the surface of the unit with a soft damp cloth. Mild detergent can be
used for any stubborn marks..
IMPORTANT
The control panel and other parts must not come into contact with water or any
other liquids.
Storage
If not using the unit for an extended period of time. After cleaning please:
• Turn the unit o, unplug and take care of the mains lead & plug.
• Cover the unit and store it upright in a location where it will not receive
direct sunlight. NB - Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight will discolour the
outer casing.
