Part Identification and Assembly

Part Figure

The diagram shows the disassembled parts of the stand fan. Components include: front grill, circlip, blades, rear grill, motor shaft, motor, plastic nut, spinner, push button, thumb screw, inner and outer column assembly, height adjustment ring, chassis, and a 7-shape bolt. The diagram also illustrates 'Tight' and 'Loose' points for assembly.

Assembly of Base & Column Unit

1. Unscrew the 7-shape Bolt from the Extension Pole. (Refer to Figure 1)
2. Insert the extension pole into the base and tighten the 7-shape Bolt. (Refer to Figure 2)
3. From the extension pole, loosen the height adjustment ring and adjust the internal pipe to the desired height. (Note: If the internal pole cannot be found, it slides inside the extension pole; you can pull it out from the extension pole.) (Refer to Figure 3)
4. To attach the head unit to the extension pole, loosen the thumb screw on the bottom of the head unit. Place the head unit on the extension pole and tighten the thumb screw in alignment with the groove on the internal pole. (Refer to Figure 4)

CAUTION: Height adjustment ring must be fully fastened before the assembly of the motor section to the extension pole.

Grill & Fan Blade Assembly

1. Unscrew the spinner clockwise (or take the spinner out from the bag) and the plastic nut counterclockwise to remove both. Fix the rear grill to the motor, then tighten the plastic nut again. (Refer to Figure 5)
2. Insert the blade into the shaft, ensuring the rotor shaft pin is fitted into the groove of the blade. Turn the spinner counterclockwise to tighten the blade. (Refer to Figure 6)
3. Fasten the front grill and the rear grill by the grill clip, and then tighten the fan grill locking screw and nut. (Refer to Figure 7)

Operating Instructions

I. Remote Controller

a. Key Instruction

1. [Power Button] ON/OFF KEY: The [Power Button] key is for switching the fan on. The fan will start at breeze step. Press the [Power Button] key to switch the fan off.
2. [Speed Control Button] SPEED KEY: When the fan is started, pressing this key repeatedly will cycle the fan through speeds "1-2-3-4-5-6".
3. [Mode Selection Button] MODE KEY: Press this key to select the operating mode. The sequence is Normal, Natural, and Sleep when this key is touched repeatedly or continuously. The indicator lights show the current mode.
   • Normal wind: Press the "mode" key to select normal wind, then press the "speed" key repeatedly to choose from 8 speeds.
   • Natural wind: Press the "mode" key to select natural wind, then press the "speed" key repeatedly to choose from 3 speeds.
   • Sleep wind: Press the "mode" key to select sleep wind, then press the "speed" key repeatedly to choose from 2 speeds.
4. [Oscillation Button] OSC/LOUVER KEY: After the fan has started, press this key to select oscillation mode. The sequence is wiggly, fluctuating, eight-rock, and fixed. The lights on the display indicate the fan's oscillation mode.
5. [Timer Button] TIMING KEY: When the fan is in standby mode after the power line is plugged in, press the [Timer Button] key to switch the fan to appointment mode. When this key is pressed repeatedly, the appointment time cycles through "0.5h-1h-...-7h-7.5h-0h-0.5h...". Corresponding indicators will illuminate. Time indicators will extinguish in turn as time passes. When the appointment time is over, the fan will automatically operate at normal air mode with level 1 speed.
6. [Silence Button] SILENCE KEY: Press this key to activate the silent feature. Wind type and speed setting buttons will not function while this feature is active. Press the button again to deactivate the silent feature.

b. Batteries (not included in the packing)

1. Slide the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert the batteries, ensuring they are placed correctly as shown in Figure 9, with correct polarity ([Positive Terminal] and [Negative Terminal]).
3. Slide back the battery cover.

NOTES: Use size "AAA" manganese or alkaline batteries. Do not use rechargeable batteries.

c. Battery Warning

• "Do not dispose of batteries in fire, as batteries may explode or leak."
• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.

d. Remote Controller Operation

Point the remote controller at the receptor on the fan body and press the desired button. The remote controller operates at distances up to approximately five meters and within an angle of 30 degrees (left and right) from the receptor. Batteries must be removed from the remote controller before it is scrapped and disposed of safely.

e. Overheat Protection of the Motor

The motor windings have a thermal-fuse that burns out and switches off the fan if the motor temperature rises excessively. This prevents plastic parts from deforming or burning due to overheating for any unexpected reason.

II. Buttons on Fan Body / Panel Indication

The buttons on the fan body, such as air speed, on/off, air mode, mute, appointment/timer, and oscillation, have the same functions as the corresponding keys on the remote controller (as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11).

III. Height Adjustment

Turn the outer joint to adjust the inner/outer upright post tube to the proper height, and then tighten the outer joint. (Refer to Figure 3)

IV. Pitching Air Supply

When adjusting the upward or downward air supply of the fan, slightly lift or press the nose or grill for adjustment.

Maintenance and Cleaning

The fan requires little maintenance. Do not attempt to fix it yourself; refer it to qualified service personnel if service is needed.

1. Before cleaning and assembling, the fan must be unplugged.
2. To ensure adequate air circulation to the motor, keep the vents at the rear of the motor free of dust. Do not disassemble the fan to remove dust.
3. Wipe the exterior parts with a soft cloth soaked in a mild detergent.
4. Do not use any abrasive detergent or solvents to avoid scratching the surface. Do not use gasoline or thinner as cleaners.
5. Do not allow water or any other liquid into the motor housing or interior parts.

Cleaning

1. Be sure to unplug from the electrical supply source before cleaning.
2. Plastic parts should be cleaned with a soft cloth moistened with mild soap. Thoroughly remove soap film with a dry cloth.

DISPOSAL

Do not dispose of electrical appliances as unsorted municipal waste; use separate collection facilities. Contact your local government for information regarding available collection systems. If electrical appliances are disposed of in landfills or dumps, hazardous substances can leak into the groundwater and enter the food chain, damaging your health and well-being.
