OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Your fan is equipped with the technologically advanced 1Touch ™
thermostat. You can set the fan from either the main housing or the
remote control to run continuously in manual mode ore set the 1Touch ™
thermostat to your desired temperature setting. The 1Touch ™ thermostat
will automatically turn the fan ON or OFF depending on the preset
comfort level. The comfort level ranges between 60° and 80° Fahrenheit.
• Set the fan base on a dry, level surface.
• Plug the fan into a 120V AC electrical outlet
• To start the unit and run continuously, push the button on the fan
housing or on the remote control once for the High setting and press
either button twice for the Low setting
• To stop the unit, press and hold the button on the fan housing or on
the remote control for two seconds or keep pressing the button until
all the speed and temperature indicators are OFF
• The OSCILLATION control knob is located on the top of the fan motor
housing. To start oscillation, push knob down. To stop oscillation, pull
knob up
1 Touch ™ Thermostat Instructions
To take advantage of the 1Touch ™ Thermostat, continue to press the button
until the desired temperature is reached. When ambient temperature drops
below the set temperature, the fan will stop. When the room temperature
rises above the set point, the fan will turn on automatically.
Note: It is normal for the fan to cycle ON and OFF as it maintains the
preset temperature. To prevent the unit from cycling, you need to
raise the thermostat setting.
1Touch ™ has memory. The 1Touch ™ thermostat will remember the previous
temperature setting after the unit has been turned off. However if the unit
is unplugged, the 1Touch ™ thermostat will be reset and will no longer
remember the previous temperature setting.
Remote Control Handheld Unit
Your remote control requires 2 AAA batteries for
operation. To install the batteries, simply depress the back
of the remote with your thumb on the spot marked OPEN.
