- Fan Operation:

- "2" button: Activates medium, normal use.

- Oscillation: The fan head can oscillate from left to right.
- To operate oscillation: Press down the oscillation control knob (9).
- To stop oscillation: Pull up the oscillation control knob (9).
- Tilt Adjustment: The fan head can be tilted up and down. To adjust, gently move the motor housing up or down until the desired position is reached. A series of clicks during adjustment is normal.
- Air Freshness Module: This module allows the fan to function as an air freshener or mosquito repellent.
- Sponge Pads: The module uses provided sponge pads. Users should spray/soak the pads with appropriate liquid (air freshener or mosquito repellent) until thoroughly wet but not dripping.
- Pad Types:
- Orange sponge pad: Exclusively for mosquito repellent liquid.
- White sponge pad: Exclusively for air freshener liquid.
- Installation:
- Locate and remove the Air Freshness module grill cap (H) on the front grill (G) by rotating it counter-clockwise.
- Fit the soaked sponge pad inside the grill cap (H), ensuring the tabs secure it.
- Refit the grill cap/sponge pad assembly to the front grill (G) and rotate clockwise to lock it in place.
- Recharge: The soaked sponge pad will dry out as the liquid disperses. It is recommended to check and recharge the sponge pad every 3-4 hours.
- Caution (Mosquito Repellent): Users are advised to select a safe mosquito repellent liquid. Many insecticide products are unsafe for humans and animals through inhalation or skin/eye contact. Always read the safety instructions of the repellent liquid carefully and avoid use if in doubt.
