5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Remote Control Functions
The remote control provides access to the following features:
- Fan Speed: 6 adjustable wind speeds.
- Light Color Temperature: 3 settings (3000K Warm White, 4500K Natural White, 6000K Cool White).
- Timer: Set the fan to turn off automatically after 1, 2, or 4 hours.
- Reversible Airflow: Change the direction of blade rotation for summer (downward airflow) or winter (upward airflow) use.

5.2 Reversible Airflow Function
The fan features a reversible DC motor, allowing you to change the direction of airflow to optimize comfort throughout the year. In summer, downward airflow creates a cooling effect. In winter, upward airflow helps circulate warm air trapped near the ceiling, reducing heat loss.
Note: Turn off the fan before using the remote control to reverse the rotation direction.
