appliance does not respond to remote control when
childlock is activated.
• Check if batteries are properly installed in the remote

• Make sure the remote control aims to the signal receiver
of the appliance and clear out the objects that may block
singals.
My Towe Fan is
not producing
sucient amount
of air or very weak.
• Ensure the appliance is set to the highest fan speed for
maximum air circulation. Allow the appliance to fully

abnormal loud sound.Immediately turn o appliance, and
get the foregin objects out of the appliance.
My appliance is
loud at Quiet Sleep
mode.
• To optimize cooling performance in Quiet Sleep mode,
your Tower Fan runs at a higher fan speed for the rst
30 minutes, gradually decreasing to a lower fan speed.
The noise reduces accordingly. You could also choose the
lowest fan speed for consistent airow and lower sound
level.
