Troubleshooting

• Why there is noise: It is normal that there is noise during high speed. Lower the speed and check again.
• Why the wind power is not strong enough: Move the fan closer. Ensure air inlet and outlet are unobstructed, and no obstacles before the fan. Make sure the fan is connected to a powered electrical outlet.
• Why the remote control is not working: Check that the remote control is powered and move the obstacles between the fan and the remote. Operate the remote control near or in front of the tower fan.
• Why the oscillation is not steady: Check that the base is firmly assembled and the fan is on a level ground.
• Can I take out the extension column: Yes. The extension column is for adjusting the height of tower fan. To assemble or to disassemble it, it's up to your preference.
