Power Connection

Before plugging in, ensure the fan is in the OFF position. Insert the power plug firmly into a suitable 110V electrical outlet.

Operating Instructions

Power On/Off and Speed Control

The fan features a control knob, typically located on the base, to manage power and fan speed.

• Rotate the knob clockwise to turn the fan ON and select your desired speed setting.
• The fan offers 3 speeds:
  • Minimum (Suave): For gentle air circulation.
  • Medium (Moderada): For moderate airflow.
  • Maximum (Intensa): For powerful ventilation.
• Rotate the knob counter-clockwise until it clicks to the OFF position to turn the fan off.

Oscillation Control

The fan is equipped with an automatic horizontal oscillation feature and adjustable vertical inclination.

• Horizontal Oscillation: Press the button located on the top of the motor housing (or near the control knob) to activate automatic horizontal oscillation, allowing the fan to sweep air across a wider area. Press it again to stop oscillation.
• Vertical Inclination: The fan head can be manually adjusted to 3 vertical inclination options. Gently tilt the fan head up or down to direct airflow as needed. The new articulation system allows for easy adjustment without a butterfly screw.
