Turning the timer switch to “off” or setting to speed control to “0” will automatically turn off the Anion function.
Refer to the following section on “Anions - Ionizer” for explanation.
Important: Do not leave this product unattended while it is in use.
6.1 Direction of Tower Fan
The tower fan direction can be adjusted manually to rotate (when oscillating) more to one side than the other.
This is handy if you are unable to rotate the base due to obstructions etc. but require the air to be directed more in one direction than the other.
To do this, ensure the oscillating function and fan are switched off, then whilst holding the base firm so it cannot move, grasp the tower and manually twist it to the left or right depending on your preference.
You will hear a clicking noise whilst adjusting. NOTE: Do Not force the tower beyond the end of its rotation limit as this may damage the product.
When you have finished adjusting, turn the fan and oscillating function on to check for the correct adjustment.
Repeat these steps to either adjust further, or to return the tower back to the central position..
7 Anion - Ionizer
An Anion is a Negative Ion and is the atomic element of air having the same electrical charge as found in fresh forest air, near waterfalls, beaches and hot springs, and is capable of refreshing the surrounding air.
A Cation is a Positive Ion and is made in organic waste matters and polluted air, such as cigarette smoke, sulphurous acid gas, nitric oxide compound and carbon monoxide.
Purification Of The Air
Anions produced by this fan will help neutralize and eliminate Cations and thus, will help eliminate bad odours and toxins in the air.
When the Anions attack and eliminate the Cations, only Oxygen and Water vapour are left, leaving a clean and refreshing environment.
Elimination of Dust, Bacteria, Viruses and Microbes
Page 11 of 12
A Cation charged indoor atmosphere allows bacteria, viruses, dust, mould spores, and pollen to float around freely causing air pollution, and worst of all, making for easy cross contamination of diseases like colds & flu.
For those people susceptible to asthma attacks, these pollutants may also be a trigger.
This Anion fan electrically eliminates and neutralises harmful Cations by simply discharging Anions (negative ions) which attack and eliminate the Cations (positive ions).
You will also notice that dust particles, smoke and gases are soon less abundant, so you can breathe pure cleansed air.
8 Care and Cleaning
Turn off and unplug the unit prior to cleaning.
Clean the body assembly with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.
Never spray with liquids or submerge the Fan in water or any other liquid.
Do not use flammable liquids, chemicals, abrasive creams, steel wool or scouring
pads for cleaning.
Periodically check the screws on the product to ensure they are securely tightened.
9 Storage
Switch off and unplug the fan.
Coil the cable loosely. Do not kink or pull the cable tight.
Store your fan in a cool, dry location.
