How It Works
In contrast to a traditional fan which brings only cooling benets 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 Dimplex air circulators create a
3D 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 stuy 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 oor 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 ecient 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 oor, resulting in a more even room temperature.

Operation
ON/OFF
When in standby mode, press the On/O button on either the control panel or
remote control to turn the unit ON. The On/O & fan speed indicator lights will illuminate, and the LED Display will show the current fan speed. To turn the unit OFF,
press the On/O button again.
FAN SPEED - DIAL
When the unit is ON, rotate the dial clockwise to increase the FAN SPEED. The fan speed setting will indicate on the LED display - a number between 1-30. 30 is the
highest speed. Rotate the dial anticlockwise to decrease the FAN SPEED.
FAN SPEED - REMOTE CONTROL
Alternatively, when the unit is ON, press the FAN SPEED increase or decrease buttons to set the desired fan speed. The selected speed will still show on the LED Display.
NATURAL MODE Press this button (or the MODE button on the remote) to activate the NATURAL MODE. The NATURAL MODE indicator light will illuminate on the control panel once
selected. When the unit is in this mode, it automatically cycles through the speeds in pre-set intervals. The 30 speeds are divided into 3 groups. Speeds 1-10 are group 1, speeds 11-20 are group 2, and speeds 21-30 are group 3. Refer to below:
Group 1 (Speeds 1-10): Low Natural Breeze Mode
Group 2 (Speeds 11-20): Middle Natural Breeze Mode
Group 3 (Speeds 21-30): High Natural Breeze Mode
NOTE: The LED display will only show speeds 10/20/30, depending on the group
selected.
To exit NATURAL MODE, press the button again.
SLEEP MODE
Press this button (or the MODE button on the remote) to activate the SLEEP MODE. The SLEEP MODE indicator light will illuminate on the control panel once selected.
There are 3 x dierent sleep settings depending on the FAN SPEED. Refer to below:
• High Sleeping Mode: 30 minutes High Speed + Natural Mode > 30 minutes
Middle Speed + Natural Mode > Low Speed+ Natural Mode.
• Middle Sleeping Mode: 30 minutes Middle Speed + Natural Mode > Low Speed+ Natural Mode
• Low Sleeping Mode: Low Natural Mode.
To exit SLEEP MODE, press the button again.

Operation
TIMER - CONTROL PANEL:
The TIMER can be set to automatically turn the unit ON or OFF - up to a maximum of 12 hours.
To automatically power ON:
1. Press the TIMER button on the control panel and the TIMER set indicator light
will illuminate. The LED Display will ash and start at 1 hour.
2. Turn the dial until the desired time from 1 to 12 hours displays on the LED. After 5 seconds the LED Display will show the time set for the fan to turn ON automatically.
3. To re-adjust the timer setting, press the TIMER button once and repeat the above procedure. Alternatively, to cancel the TIMER, press one more time or set to '0' hour.
To automatically power OFF:
1. Press the TIMER button on the control panel and the TIMER set indicator light
will illuminate. The LED Display will ash and start at 1 hour.
2. Turn the dial until the desired time from 1 to 12 hours displays on the LED. After 5 seconds the LED Display will show the time set for the fan to turn OFF automatically.
3. To re-adjust the timer setting, press the TIMER button once and repeat the above procedure. Alternatively, to cancel the TIMER, press one more time or set to '0' hour.
TIMER - REMOTE CONTROL:
Follow the same procedure above, however use the remote control and press the timer increase & decrease buttons instead of using the dial on the control panel.

Operation
LEFT / RIGHT OSCILLATION
• When the unit is ON press the LEFT/RIGHT button on either the control panel or remote control to begin oscillation. The LED indicator will illuminate accordingly and the unit will begin to move left to right within 80°.
NOTE: When the fan is rst plugged in, it will oscillate 30° to calibrate the setting.
(left at 30° with a 9 second pause, followed by turning right to 80° and pausing for 15 seconds). If for some reason the oscillation angle is less than 30° or 80° then the
fan needs to complete the above process, so it can work normally.
• Press the LEFT/RIGHT button again to cancel the oscillation function.
UP / DOWN OSCILLATION
When the unit is ON press the UP/DOWN button on either the control panel or remote control to begin oscillation. The LED indicator will illuminate accordingly and the unit will begin to move Up and Down within 80°.
NOTE: Both LEFT/RIGHT & UP/DOWN oscillation directions can be used at the
same time. This will activate a 3D-like oscillation movement.

Cleaning
Over time, dust can accumulate on the grille covers and fan blades, which can aect
the fans performance. It is recommended to clean the fan at least once a month.
1. Turn the unit OFF and disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
2. Remove any dust build up with a soft brush.
3. To clean the fan blades, remove the screw positioned at the front of the grille
and turn the front grille counterclockwise. Remove the screw nut from the motor
shaft and pull out the fan blade (refer to diagrams below).
4. Once the fan blade is clean, reassemble by following the instructions in reverse.
5. Wipe the surface of the unit with a soft damp cloth. Mild detergent can be used
for any stubborn marks.
IMPORTANT
The control panel and other parts must not come into contact with water or any other liquids.
Storage
If not using the unit for an extended period of time. After cleaning please:
Turn the unit o, unplug and take care of the mains lead & plug.
Cover the unit and store it upright in a location where it will not receive direct
sunlight. NB- Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight will discolour the outer casing.
CLEANING THE FAN BLADE
1. Remove the screw
2. Rotate the front grill coun­ter-clockwise
3. Remove the screw nut
and pull out the fan blade
