General Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
Read this manual thoroughly before first use, even if you are familiar with this
type of product. The safety precautions enclosed herein reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock and injury when correctly adhered to. Keep the manual
in a safe place for future reference, along with the completed warranty card,
purchase receipt and carton. If applicable, pass these instructions on to the
next owner of the appliance.
Always follow basic safety precautions and accident prevention
measures when using an electrical appliance, including the following:
Electrical safety and cord handling
• Voltage: Ensure your outlet voltage and circuit frequency correspond to the
voltage stated on the rating label. If this is not the case, do not use the fan.
• Separate outlet: Always plug the AC adaptor straight into a separate
electrical outlet; do not use a multi-purpose socket for simultaneous use
with other electrical devices.
• Water: To protect against fire and electric shock, do not immerse the AC
adaptor, cord, plug or the fan itself in water or other liquid, or expose the
electrical connections to water. Ensure your hands are dry before handling
the plug or switching on the fan. Do not use the fan outdoors or on wet
surfaces. Protect it from liquid spills.
• Damage: Check the power cord regularly for visible damage. If the adaptor
cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its authorised
service agent or appropriately qualified personnel in order to avoid a hazard.
WARNING! Do not pick up or operate the fan if the AC adaptor, cord, plug or
housing is damaged, or after it malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged
in any manner. In case of damage, contact our after sales support centre.
• Protect the adaptor and power cord:
- Do not operate the fan with the AC adaptor’s power cord coiled up;
always fully unwind.
- Do not twist or kink the cord or let it touch heated surfaces or sharp edges.
- Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of a table or bench.
- Do not put any stress on the cord where it connects to the product.
- Never carry the fan by the cord.
- Arrange the cord away from any traffic area so no one will trip over it.
- Do not run the cord under carpeting or cover it with rugs or runners. In the
event of danger, the plug must be quickly and easily accessible.

Before first use
• Unpacking: This product has been packaged to protect it against
transportation damage. Unpack the appliance and keep the original packaging
carton and materials in a safe place. It will help prevent any damage if the
product needs to be transported in the future, and you can use it to store
the appliance when it is not in use. In the event that the packaging is to be
disposed of, please recycle it where possible.
• Packaging disposal: Plastic wrapping can be a suffocation hazard for babies
and young children, so ensure all packaging materials are out of their reach and
disposed of safely.
• Inspection: Unwind the cord of the AC adaptor to its full length and inspect it
for damage. Do not use the appliance if the appliance or the adaptor has been
damaged or is not working properly. In case of damage, please contact our after
sales support centre for advice on examination, repair or return of the product.
• Documentation: Make sure you have read and understood all instructions and
warnings in this manual. Refer to the product overview (opposite) and parts
illustrations throughout this manual to familiarise yourself with the product
and identify all parts. Pay particular attention to the safety instructions on the
previous pages.
• Assembly: The fan is equipped with an air-purifying HEPA filter, which is
supplied separately for installation into the appliance housing before operation.
Installation instructions are provided on the next page.
• Remote control: The fan comes with a remote control, which is powered by a
CR2025 3V coin cell (contained inside the remote control). Before use, please
pull the plastic insulation film out from the back side of the remote control. See
page 25 for how to insert a new coin cell when the one supplied is depleted.
Getting Started
WARNING: KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN!
The remote control contains a coin/button cell battery inside.
Keep batteries out of reach of children. Swallowing can lead
to chemical burns, perforation of soft tissue and death. Severe
burns can occur within 2 hours of ingestion.
If swallowed, immediately call the 24-hour Poisons
Information Centre on 13 11 26 for fast expert advice.
Or go straight to a hospital emergency room.
Dispose of used batteries immediately.
This product has been designed so that the coin/button cell battery is not accessible
to young children, as the battery compartment cover is secured with a screw or
mechanical fastener. Always ensure that the compartment is secured before use.

Getting Started (Cont.)
Installing the filter into the fan
This bladeless purifier fan is equipped with an air-purifying H13 HEPA filter,
which captures 99.95% of fine air-polluting particles. Before using the fan you
must unwrap the filter and install it in its proper place in the fan housing.
1. Take the filter out of the protective plastic bag and discard the bag safely.
2. To open the top cover, push the wind outlet gently to the back – it can
be tilted up to 15 degrees to the front and back, but not more. Place your
flat hand on the top cover, push down firmly and turn the cover slightly in
anticlockwise direction (to the left) until it snaps open (Fig. 1).
3. To attach the filter to the top cover, place the top cover upside down on
a sturdy surface. Place the filter in the grooves, then push the filter down
firmly with both hands until you hear click into place (Fig. 2).
4. To install the filter, place the filter with the top cover into the housing
(Fig. 3). Turn it loosely until the curved edges almost line up, then press
down firmly and turn the cover in clockwise direction (to the right) until it
locks securely into place.

Instructions
Location
Place the fan on a dry, flat, stable surface.
Do not place it on an inclined or soft
surface to avoid damage or malfunctions
caused by the fan tipping over.
Avoid blocking the air inlet when using the
fan. Do not place it near curtains or similar

Signal receiver
NOTE: This fan may respond to the
remote control of other devices, and
other devices may respond to this
fan’s remote control. This is due to
the overlapping frequencies of the
remote control. It is not a quality
problem in the product itself. To avoid
misuse, keep the remote control away
from other electrical devices during
operation.
Connection
Insert the appliance plug of the AC adaptor in the DC socket at the back of
the fan body. Then plug the power plug into an appropriate electrical outlet
and switch on the power to the outlet. The fan will enter standby mode and
the LED display illuminates.
Remote control preparation
The remote control for the bladeless purifier fan is powered by a CR2025 coin
cell (contained inside the remote control). Before use, make sure you have
removed the plastic insulation film from the back side of the remote control.
When using the remote control, point it at the signal receiver at the front of the fan
to maximise the remote control signal (Fig. 5).
