Amico Ceiling Fan Remote Control Features

Figure 5.1: Overview of remote control functions including customizable light, 6 speeds, quiet operation, timer, reversible motor, and two-color blades.

  • Power On/Off: Press the power button to turn the fan and light on or off.
  • Fan Speed: Select from 6 adjustable fan speeds (Levels 1-6) to achieve your desired airflow. Levels 1-2 for comfortable wind, 3-4 for natural wind, and 5-6 for strong cooling wind.
  • Reversible DC Motor: Use the reverse button on the remote to change the direction of the fan blades. This allows for downward airflow in summer for cooling and upward airflow in winter to circulate warm air.
  • Customizable Light: Adjust the light brightness (10%-100% dimmable) and choose from 3 color temperatures (3000K Warm White, 4000K Natural White, 6000K Cool White).
  • Timer Settings: Set the fan to automatically turn off after 1, 2, or 4 hours using the dedicated timer buttons.
  • Memory Function: The fan remembers your last light brightness and color temperature settings if the light is off for at least 10 seconds. The fan will also resume its last speed setting.
  • Natural Wind Mode: Activates a fluctuating fan speed to simulate a natural breeze.
  • Anti-Theft Function: (Home icon button) When activated, the light will turn on for 5 minutes every two hours to simulate occupancy.

5.2 Wall Switch Control

The remote control can be mounted on the wall and used as a wall switch. This fan is suitable for conventional on/off wall switches. NOTE: Do not connect to a dimmer switch or a fan's gear switch, as this may interfere with the fan's internal remote control system.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Amico ceiling fan.

  • Cleaning: To clean the fan, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish or electrical components. (Care instructions: Hand Wash)
