WARNING: This fan is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). The plug is intended to fit into a power outlet only one way, with the wide blade

outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
DO NOT DEFEAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE OF THE POLARIZED PLUG.

ASSEMBLY
1. First, put the pillar together. The pillar is made of two separate halves. Make sure
to pass the power cord through the middle of the pillar before snapping the pillar
pieces together.
2. Now, attach the pillar to the fan body using the included pillar screws.
3. Next, put the fan base together. Like the pillar, the fan base is made up of two
separate halves. Make sure to pass the power cord through the middle of the fan
base prior to sliding the base pieces together. There is a groove on the bottom of
the fan base for the power cord. Make sure this groove is aligned with the back of
the fan prior to attaching the fan base to the pillar.
4. Once the groove on the bottom of the fan is aligned, attach the fan base using
the included base screws. Last, pass the cord through the groove on the fan
base.

Please refer to Fig. 2 on the next page.
1. POWERING ON THE FAN
The fan can be turned on by pressing the POWER button on the fan control panel or
using the supplied remote control. The POWER button is also used to turn the fan off.
2. FAN SPEED
Press the SPEED button to select Low (L), Medium (M), or High (H) fan speed.
3. OSCILLATION
The fan can operate in oscillation or stationary mode. Press the OSCILLATE button on
the control panel or remote control to start oscillation. To turn Oscillation off, simply

4. WIND MODES
Press the MODE button on the fan control panel or remote to select one of the three
wind modes. When the fan is initially powered-on, the default wind mode (normal) is
selected. Press the MODE button once to select Natural wind mode (M1), and twice to
select Rhythm wind mode (M2). During Natural wind mode, the fan will simulate the
airflow of the wind by randomly cycling through its 3 fan speeds. Rhythm wind mode will
cycle through the fan speeds in order of Low, Medium, and High.
5. TIMER
The fan can be programmed to automatically shut-off after a set period of time. The
timer can be set for 30 minute increments. The maximum programmed time is 7.5
hours. To start the Timer, press the TIMER button on the control panel or the supplied
remote. Each press of the TIMER button will increase the timer by 30 minutes. Once the
Timer button is pressed, a green LED light on the front of the fan will light up according
to the selected time. If more than one LED light is lit, the timer is programmed for the
sum of the times represented by the LED lights. If all timer lights are lit, then the fan will
be programmed for the maximum 7.5 hours.
