4. Operating Instructions
Your SODSEA ceiling fan is controlled by the included remote control, offering various functions for comfort and convenience.
4.1 Fan Speed Control

Image: The fan offers 6 adjustable speeds. Speeds 1-2 are suitable for sleep, 3-4 for family activities, and 5-6 for stronger airflow during warmer periods.
- The remote control allows selection of 6 fan speeds.
- Use lower speeds (1-2) for gentle air circulation, medium speeds (3-4) for general comfort, and higher speeds (5-6) for maximum airflow.
4.2 Light Control (3CCT & Dimmable)

Image: The remote control allows adjustment of the LED light's color temperature (Warm 3000K, Daylight 4000K, Cool 6500K) and brightness from 12% to 100%.
- The integrated 24W LED light offers three color temperatures: Warm (3000K), Daylight (4000K), and Cool (6500K).
- Brightness is adjustable from 12% to 100%.
- Memory Function: If the fan light is switched off for more than 10 seconds using the remote, it will retain the last color temperature and brightness setting when turned back on. For short power cycles (less than 10 seconds), quickly flip the wall switch to cycle through color temperatures.
4.3 Reversible Motor Function

Image: The fan features a reversible motor, allowing for downward airflow in summer for cooling and upward airflow in winter to circulate warm air.
- The reversible DC motor allows you to change the direction of the fan blades.
- Summer Mode (Downward Airflow): Creates a cooling breeze.
- Winter Mode (Upward Airflow): Circulates warm air trapped near the ceiling, improving heating efficiency.
4.4 Timer Function
- Set the fan to automatically turn off after 1, 3, or 6 hours using the remote control.
