5.1 Remote Control Functions
- Fan On/Off: Press the 'FAN ON/OFF' button to turn the fan on or off.

- Reversible Function: Use the 'F' (Forward/Summer) or 'R' (Reverse/Winter) button to change the blade rotation direction. In summer, downdraft mode creates a cooling breeze. In winter, updraft mode circulates warm air.
