To Operate the Kambrook
Pedestal Fan

To operate the fan, plug the power
cord into a 230V or 240V electrical
outlet and switch the outlet on. Be
sure the plug fits tightly as a loose fit
will cause overheating and damage
the plug.

Once the power outlet is switched on,
the fan will beep to indicate the fan is
in ‘Standby’.

NOTE: The pedestal fan is fitted with

a power saving feature.
When any of the 5 mode types
are selected or the timer function
is set, the LED display panel will
automatically switch off after
30 seconds. To redisplay the current
setting, press the OSC button once.
The fan will also automatically
switch itself off after 12 hours if no
action takes place.

CAUTION: Never insert

fingers, pencils or any
other objects through the
grille guards whenever the
power plug is connected,
in particular while the fan
is switched on.

NOTE: To avoid infrared

interference that may trigger
the operation of the cooling
fan, ensure the fan is positioned
away from other infrared remote
controlled appliances.

Control Panel

The main control panel is located on
the fan body, with the LED display just

There are five wind modes for the fan.
The LED screen will indicate which
mode the fan has been set at.

Choose your preferred mode by
pressing the mode key.

Normal Mode

The fan speed stays at the constant
rate it is set at. Increasing the speed

reducing the speed will decrease
air flow.

This is the only mode that allows you
to adjust the wind speed. Refer to
part (c) of this section.

Natural Mode

The fan speed will fluctuate between
various wind speeds to give a more
natural feel to the air flow. The wind
speed self regulates in accordance to
a pre-set program.

Using Your Kambrook Pedestal Fan Continued...

Sleep Mode

The fan speed self regulates within the
low wind speed range in accordance
to how it’s been programmed,
dropping various wind speed levels
every half an hour until the fan
reaches the lowest wind speed range.

The fan will then continue to run
constantly at this lower wind speed
until it is manually switched off or has
reached the end of it's preset time.

NOTE: The fan will automatically
switch off after 12 hours if no
action takes place.

Comfort Mode

The fan will automatically regulate
its wind speed by increasing or
decreasing within the medium wind
speed range depending on the
ambient temperature of the room.

If the fan is on, and the ambient
temperature surrounding the fan
cools down below 18° Celsius, the fan
will temporarily go into standby mode.

When the ambient temperature
surrounding the fan increases above
18° Celsius, the fan will automatically
switch back on.

Silent Mode

The fan will run at the lowest speed,
generating a light air flow without
making much sound, circulating the
air but keeping the fan noise and
vibration to a minimum level.

c) Speed control in normal mode

This fan has 26 speed levels
(wind speeds) which can be adjusted
when using Normal mode only. Rotate
the drive plate clockwise to increase
the speed and counter-clockwise
to decrease the speed. The speed is
displayed on the digital display.
