4. Operating Instructions

Your Parrot Uncle ceiling fan is controlled by the included remote control. Ensure the remote has a working battery installed.

4.1. Remote Control Functions

The remote control allows for convenient adjustment of fan speed, light brightness, and timer settings.

• Power Button: Turns the fan and light ON/OFF.
• Fan Speed Buttons (1-6): Adjusts fan speed from low (1) to high (6).
• Light ON/OFF Button: Toggles the light ON/OFF.
• Dimming Buttons: Adjusts the brightness of the integrated LED light. Press and hold to dim, or short press for ON/OFF.
• Timer Buttons (1H, 3H, 6H, 8H): Sets the fan to automatically turn off after the selected duration.

4.2. Dimmable LED Light

The integrated 18W LED module provides 3000K warm light with 1500 lumens output. Use the dimming buttons on the remote to adjust the light intensity to your preference.

The fan's integrated LED light offers stepless dimming from 100% to 10% brightness, providing comfortable night lighting.

4.3. Reversible Motor (Summer/Winter Mode)

The fan features a reversible AC motor to optimize comfort year-round. Locate the reverse switch on the fan motor housing (usually a small slide switch).

• Summer Mode (Downward Airflow): Set the switch for downward airflow. This creates a direct breeze, providing a cooling effect.
• Winter Mode (Upward Airflow): Set the switch for upward airflow. This circulates warm air near the ceiling, helping to distribute heat more evenly throughout the room.

This image explains how to utilize the reversible motor function to optimize air circulation for both cooling in summer and warming in winter.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your ceiling fan.

5.1. Cleaning
