- Fan Speed: 6 adjustable speed levels (1-2 for comfortable wind, 3-4 for natural wind, 5-6 for strong cooling wind).
- Light Control: Turn light on/off, adjust brightness (10%-100% dimmable), and select color temperature (3000K Warm White, 4000K Neutral White, 6000K Cool White).
- Timer Setting: Set the fan to turn off automatically after 1, 2, or 4 hours.
- Reversible Motor: Switch between downdraft (summer mode) and updraft (winter mode) for optimal air circulation.
- Separate Control: The fan and light can be operated independently.

Customizable Light:
Adjust the light to suit your needs. The integrated LED light is dimmable from 10% to 100% and offers three color temperature options: 3000K (warm), 4000K (neutral), and 6000K (cool).

Memory Function:
The fan features a memory function for both light and fan settings. To save your preferred light brightness and color temperature, select your desired settings, then turn off the light and wait for at least 10 seconds. When the light is turned on again, it will resume the saved settings. If the light is turned on again within 10 seconds of being turned off, the color temperature will cycle to the next option. The fan will also resume its last used speed setting.

Reversible DC Motor:
The high-quality DC motor allows for reversible blade rotation. In summer, the fan operates in downdraft mode to create a cooling breeze. In winter, it operates in updraft mode to circulate warm air trapped near the ceiling, balancing indoor heating.

Quiet Operation:
The fan is designed for quiet operation, with a noise level as low as 35dB, comparable to the sound of falling leaves. This ensures a peaceful environment, suitable for bedrooms and nurseries.

Maintenance
Cleaning:
To clean the fan, ensure power is disconnected. Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. The care instructions specify 'Hand Wash' for general cleaning.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Amico ceiling fan, please refer to the following common solutions:
- Fan Not Operating: Ensure power is supplied to the fan at the circuit breaker and wall switch. Check all electrical connections. Verify remote control batteries are installed correctly and are not depleted.
- Light Not Working or Changing Color Unexpectedly: Check power supply. If the light changes color when turned on/off quickly, this is part of the memory function; wait at least 10 seconds after turning off the light for settings to be saved.
- Fan Noise: Ensure all screws are tightened and blades are securely attached. Verify the fan is properly balanced.
- Remote Control Issues: Replace batteries. Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the fan receiver.
- Fan Not Suitable for Your Region: This fan operates on 120V AC. If your region uses 220V, the fan will not function correctly.
