Your tower fan has a NATURE
and REDUCTION

setting.

Both the NATURE and REDUCTION

To turn the NATURE mode OFF, press
the MODE button twice, the fan will
now be in NORMAL operation mode.

Reduction mode

The REDUCTION mode automatically
decreases the fan speed over time.

The REDUCTION mode only applies in

Once a fan speed setting is selected,
press the MODE button twice will turn
the tower fan into REDUCTION mode.

After 30 minutes, the selected setting
will drop to the next lowest setting.
For example if the fan speed is set
at MEDIUM, after 30 minutes it will
drop down to LOW until the unit is
turned off.

To turn the REDUCTION mode off,
press the MODE button once, the
fan will now be in NORMAL
operation mode.

When REDUCTION mode is selected
the display panel will automatically
switch off after 30 seconds. Press any
button on the control panel to turn
the display on again. This will NOT
