Remote Control Functions:
- Power Button (⏻): Turns the fan and light ON/OFF.
- Light ON/OFF Button (☀): Toggles the integrated LED light.
- Fan Speed Buttons (1-6): Adjusts the fan speed from 1 (lowest) to 6 (highest).
- Timer Buttons (2H, 4H, 8H): Sets the fan to automatically shut off after 2, 4, or 8 hours, respectively.
- Forward/Reverse Button (⇆): Changes the direction of the fan blades.
Reversible DC Motor for Seasonal Use:
The fan features a reversible DC motor, allowing you to optimize airflow for different seasons.
- Summer Mode (Counter-clockwise): Blades turn counter-clockwise to create a downward airflow, producing a cooling effect.
- Winter Mode (Clockwise): Blades turn clockwise to create an upward airflow, circulating warm air trapped near the ceiling throughout the room.

Image: This graphic illustrates the two operational modes of the fan: in summer, it creates a cooling downdraft (counter-clockwise rotation), and in winter, it circulates warm air (clockwise rotation) to improve thermal comfort.
