- Fan ON/OFF: Press the fan speed buttons (LOW, MED, HI) to turn the fan on and select speed. Press STOP to turn the fan off.
- Fan Speed: Select from 6 available speeds (LOW, MED, HI, and intermediate settings).
- Light ON/OFF: Press the 'LIGHT ON/OFF' button to toggle the light.
- Timer Function: Set the fan to turn off automatically after 1, 2, 4, or 8 hours using the dedicated timer buttons.
- Reverse Function: Use the reverse function to change the direction of airflow. In summer, forward mode creates a downward breeze for cooling. In winter, reverse mode creates an upward airflow to circulate warm air.
5.2 Retractable Blades
The fan features unique retractable blades that automatically extend when the fan is turned on and retract when the fan is turned off. This design allows the fixture to function as a chandelier when the fan is not in use.
This image illustrates the fan's retractable blades in both their extended (fan on) and retracted (fan off) positions, highlighting the dual functionality of the unit.
This diagram visually explains the difference between the fan's forward mode (for cooling in summer) and reverse mode (for circulating warm air in winter), optimizing comfort year-round.
