program waveform graph for each Natural wind mode is shown below:

selection options to return to oscillation off mode (when no oscillation LED will be lit).

Note that the oscillation is controlled by what’s called a stepping motor, this means it will

swing first to the right and then to the left from the starting point over half the swing angle

selected, this applies to all angles apart from the 360º selection, in this setting it will swing

clockwise continuously around completing 360º each time it rotates

mode at any time, when you next press the power button to switch the product back on it will

remember the last wind speed and oscillation settings and switch back on at these in Normal

Blower Mode, it will not remember if the product was in a Runback Timer mode or in a

different Blower Mode setting.

NB - If the fan speed varies randomly automatically you have selected NATURAL
mode which simulates natural breeze conditions. THIS IS NOT A FAULT. To de-select

this operation please press the MODE button until a NORMAL mode speed

symbol is lit and only use the SPEED selection button to change and select
the fan speed you require (Low / Med / High).

NB – When the product is left running without switch/control operation for 1 minute the LED

indicator light display will switch off automatically, this is to avoid user disturbance or

distraction by the light (particularly if used at night), The lights will switch on again when the

user activates any control button (except the off button), the product can then be operated

normally as described above, if the ‘off’ button is activated the product will just switch off and

the lights will not re-energise.

- To activate the remote control release and slide out the battery holder from the bottom back

of the remote control handset (as indicated below), install your 3V CR2032 button battery

cell into its location ensuring the positive and negative pole are as indicated on the label on

the back of the remote and reinstall the battery holder completely. Align to infrared receiver

module when using remote controller.

- Remote Control will only operate the product if it is in direct line of site and within a distance

of 6 meters from the product. If it fails to do so under these conditions after the product has

RECYCLING

The crossed bin symbol on the appliance indicates that the product, at the end of

its life, must be disposed of separately from domestic waste, either by taking it to a

separate waste disposal site for electric and electronic appliances or by returning it

to your dealer when you buy another similar appliance. The user is responsible for

taking the appliance to a special waste disposal site at the end of its life. If the

disused appliance is collected correctly as separate waste, it can be recycled,

treated and disposed of ecologically; this avoids a negative impact on both the

environment and health, and contributes towards the recycling of the product’s

materials. For further information regarding the waste disposal services available,

contact your local waste disposal agency or manufacturer. Dispose of used button

batteries immediately and safely through a proper recycling facility.
