Operating Instructions

Your SPT Tower Fan can be operated using the control panel on the unit or the included remote control.

Control Panel and Remote Control Functions:

Using the Remote Control:

The remote control allows convenient operation from a distance. Ensure the remote control has working batteries (not included, typically AAA). Point the remote control directly at the fan's receiver window for optimal performance.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your fan.
