pedestal fan.

3. Replace the rear cover.

1. Place the pedestal fan on a flat level surface

Note: Ensure the knob is tightened firmly at all

times. Insert the plug into a 230/240 V power

outlet and turn the power on.

3. Press the on/off button on the fan or the

remote control. The fan will start at ‘medium’

speed for 3 seconds then automatically

change to ‘low’ speed.

Selecting a fan speed

1. To select a fan speed simply press the

‘speed’ button, on either the fan or remote

control, repeatedly to select the desired

speed from the 6 settings available.

The LED lights indicate the graduated speed

on the dial below.

Oscillation

Press the oscillation button to choose from

three options of wind direction:

horizontal direction

vertical direction

wave or figure 8 direction

To turn oscillation off, press the oscillation

button again.

Timer

Pre-set to turn on

To pre-set the timer to turn the fan on, place

the fan in “standby” mode (on at the power

outlet but off on the fan) press the preset/timer

button and select the required time (in half

hour increments up to 2 hours, then hourly up

to 10 hours). When the preset time is reached,

the fan will switch ON automatically.

Note: The time must be set when the preset

indicator blinks 3 times. The selected time is

set once the blinking has ceased.

Pre-set to turn off

To pre-set the time to turn the fan off, press

the preset/timer button to switch to timer

mode. Press the timer button once to set the

desired time for the fan to cease operating.

When this set time is reached, the fan will

switch OFF automatically. The timing intervals

are the same as to turn the fan on. Press timer

button again to switch back to preset mode.

Note: You may also pre-set your fan to turn off

whilst in stand by mode.

Using Your Pedestal Fan (continued)

WIND MODES

Pressthemodebuttontoselectthedesired

airflowtypeinsequence:

Stand mode

The Fan will operate at the selected speed.

Soft mode

The fan will gradually change the speed for a

more natural airflow. This speed provides an

extra level of comfort by simulating the natural

rise and fall of the wind over time and can be

used on any speed setting.

Sleep mode

Is identical to Soft mode with the advantage

that the set fan speed gradually decreases

every 30 minutes.

Care and Cleaning

• Ensure that your pedestal fan is switched

off and disconnected from the power outlet

before cleaning.

• Carefully wipe your fan using a clean

soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners

or brushes to clean the fan as these will

scratch and damage the surface

• Take care that excessive dust does not build

up in or around the motor body. Use a dry

soft brush or vacuum cleaner to remove it.

• Do not allow the motor or other electrical

components to be exposed to water.

• Always store your fan in a cool dry place

when not in use, preferably in the original

box.
