• Wind type: Three wind speed settings are available. The first setting is Normal,
where the unit will blow at a constant speed as per your speed selection. The
second setting is Natural, where the unit will blow at higher and lower speeds
alternatively, again as per your speed selection. The third setting is Sleeping,
where the unit will blow at a high speed for 30 minutes, then at medium speed for
30 minutes and then at low speed until the preset time is over.
• Timer: The unit can be programmed to run for a preset length of time, ranging
from 0.5 hours to 7.5 hours. Press the Timer button until the desired time limit is
reached.
• Oscillation: To make the fan head swing from side to side, press the Swing once,

the vertical direction of the fan.

• Mist: This button will start the humidifier. The humidifier works independently of

the humidifier, press the Mist button again. Please note: The Off button only
stops the fan, not the humidifier. Do not touch the water tank while the humidifier
is in use. When the water tank is empty, the humidifier will automatically switch
