How It Works
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.
Most fans simply lack the aerodynamics to keep the air in the room in motion. As
opposed to blowing air directly in contact with it, our WhirlTech air circulators create
a 360˚ oscillating draught in the form of an invisible jet stream.
This jet stream helps maintain a constant room temperature by ridding the room of
cold and warm spots. It also clears stuy 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.
Where To Position
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 ecient 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.

Sleep: The fan will run using the natural wind mode pattern and automatically
lowers the set wind speed in 30 minute intervals depending on the speed
setting and then run continuously at low speed.
Sleep on high: high wind speed for half an hour, then medium speed for half
