5. Operating Instructions
The fan can be operated using the control panel on the unit or the included remote control.
5.1 Control Panel and Remote Functions
- Power Button: Turns the fan On/Off.
- Speed Adjustment: Cycle through 9 wind speeds.
- Oscillation Button: Activates/deactivates 3D oscillation (up-down and left-right).
- Timer Button: Sets the operating timer for up to 9 hours.
- ECO-Saving Function: Activates the energy-saving mode, which can operate for up to 15 hours.
- Smart Memory Function: The fan remembers your last used settings (speed, oscillation, mode) when turned off and resumes them upon restart.

6. Features Explained
6.1 Dual Bladed Technology
The fan incorporates a unique dual-bladed design with a 7-bladed front fan and a 9-bladed rear fan. This configuration works synergistically to generate a powerful and consistent airflow, delivering wind up to 20 meters.
6.2 Brushless DC Motor
Equipped with a premium brushless DC motor, the fan operates efficiently at 32W, providing strong wind output while ensuring a longer lifespan and quieter operation compared to traditional motors.
6.3 3D Oscillation and Height Adjustment
The fan offers 3D oscillation, allowing it to move both horizontally (left-right) and vertically (up-down) to distribute air across a wider area. It also features 2-in-1 height adjustments, enabling use as both a floor fan (lowest 63 cm) and a pedestal fan (highest 111 cm).

6.4 Anti-Drag Technology
This feature maximizes the drawing of air from the back of the fan and minimizes air loss as air travels from the back to the front. The unique shape and curving of the rear guard and rear fan blade are designed to maximize air intake. The unmovable middle fan blade pushes drawn air further without dispersing it, and the front fan blade's purpose is to deliver wind distance, with its curved edges on the front fan guard designed to push wind forward.

7. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your fan. Always unplug the fan before cleaning.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior surfaces of the fan with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Blade Cleaning: The front and rear guards are dismantlable for easy access to the fan blades. Carefully remove the front guard, then the fan blades. Wipe the blades with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Ensure blades are completely dry before reassembly.
- Guard Cleaning: The fan features anti-rusting plastic front and rear guards. Clean them with a damp cloth.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the fan in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original packaging.
