WARNING - KEEP BATTERIES OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
• Swallowing may lead to serious injury in as little as 2 hours or death, due to chemical
burns and potential perforation of the oesophagus.
• If you suspect your child has swallowed or inserted a button battery immediately
call the 24-hour Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26 (in Australia) or 0800 764
766 (in New Zealand) for fast, expert advice.
• Examine devices and make sure the battery compartment is correctly secured,
e.g. that the screw or other mechanical fastener is tightened. Do not use if the
compartment is not secure.
• Dispose of used button batteries immediately and safely. Flat batteries can still be
dangerous.
• Do not ingest battery, Chemical Burn Hazard.
• This product contains a coin/button cell battery. If the coin/button cell battery is
swallowed, it can cause severe internal burns in just 2 hours and can lead to death.
• Keep new and used batteries away from children.
• If the battery compartment does not close securely, stop using the product and
keep it away from children. If you think batteries might have been swallowed or
placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate medical attention.
• The batteries contain materials, which are hazardous to the environment; they must
be removed from the appliance before it is scrapped and they are disposed of safely.
CAUTION: No obvious symptoms
Unfortunately, it is not obvious when a button or coin battery is stuck in a child's
oesophagus (food pipe).
There are no specic symptoms associated with this. The child might:
• Cough, gag or drool a lot
• Appear to have a stomach upset or virus
• Be sick
• Point to their throat or stomach
• Have a pain in their abdomen, chest or throat
• Be tired or lethargic
• Be quieter or more clingy than usual or otherwise 'not themselves'
• Lose their appetite or have a reduced appetite
• Not want to eat solid food/be unable to eat solid food
These types of symptoms vary or uctuate. With the pain increasing and then sub-
siding.
A specic symptom to button and coin battery ingestion is vomiting fresh (bright
red) blood. If the child does this seek immediate help. The lack of clear symptoms
is why it is important to be vigilant with 'at' or spare button or coin batteries in the
home and the products that contain them.

How It Works
In contrast to a traditional fan which brings only cooling benefits when directly facing
you; an air circulator works for any season, keeping the air in motion and making the
entire room more comfortable to be in.
Most fans simply lack the aerodynamics to keep the air in the room in motion. As
opposed to blowing air directly in contact with it, our Dimplex air circulators create a
3D oscillating draught in the form of an invisible jet stream.
This jet stream helps maintain a constant room temperature by ridding the room of
cold and warm spots. It also clears stuy atmospheres by circulating stale air with fresh
air from an open window.
Air circulators are the safe, all-year-round temperature regulation solution you’ve been
looking for.
Where To Position
During Summer, pointing the air circulator towards a wall halfway between the floor and
the ceiling, as well as using the highest setting, will set up a high speed air circulation
pattern.
This will cool down the room in an ecient manner. Pointing towards your air conditioner
will help distribute the cool air faster, saving time and energy; essentially Turbo boosting
your A/C.
During Winter, the use of a heater alone produces warm air that rises naturally to the
ceiling.
By pointing the air circulator upwards, and utilising the lowest speed setting, the hot air
will circulate with the cooler air near the floor, resulting in a more even room temperature.

Operation
FUNCTION
After the power is turned on, the device beeps twice and enters the standby state.
All functions and displays are turned o. (Note: If you press the On/Standby button
within 10 seconds after turning o the heater or directly press the On/Standby
button in the heating state, the fan will delay 10 seconds before turning o.
ON/STANDBY
When in standby, only this button (1) is operational. After turning on, the default fan
speed is level 1, and the level 1 fan speed indicator turns on along with the power
indicator. Press this button (1) again to enter the standby state.
COOLING AIR SPEED
When powering on for the first time, the air speed indicator light is always on,
and the speed is level 1. Press this button (2) to switch the speed in the following
sequence: 1..2..3..4..1..etc. The corresponding indicator LED lights up accordingly.
Note: When turning the air circulator on, it will start at level 2 for 3 seconds before
switching to level 1.
OSCILLATION
In the power-on state, press the oscillation button (5) to switch the horizontal swing
function on and o, and the horizontal swing LED indicator will display its working
status accordingly.
TEMPERATURE (NTC) BUTTON
Press this button (3) to enable the heating mode. In heating mode, the button can
be pressed to toggle between the 25°C setting and 35°C setting
25°C SETTING: When the room temperature rises to 25°C, the heat function,
fan and oscillation (if turned on) functions will cease operation. Operation will
resume once the room temperature drops 2°C to 23°C.
35°C SETTING: When the room temperature rises to 35°C, the heat function,
fan and oscillation (if turned on) functions will cease operation. Operation will
resume once the room temperature drops 2°C to 33°C.
10
TIMER SETTING
To enable to timer function, press the Timer button (4). Pressing this button
will cycle through the timer settings None, 1 Hour, 2 Hours and 4 Hours. The
corresponding indicator lights will turn on to match their respective setting. The
indicator lights will show the remaining time left, e.g. if the timer is set to 4 hours,
the 4 hour LED will turn o after 2 hours has elapsed, and the 2 hour indicator will
turn on. Once the timer finishes, the unit will enter the standby state.
OSCILLATION FUNCTION
By default, the oscillation function is disabled. To use the oscillation function, press
the oscillation button (5). Once enabled, the air circulator will swing horizontally at
an angle of 80°. To turn o, press the oscillation button once again.
HEATING FUNCTION
a) The heating function is not active when the device is turned on for the first time.
Press the Heating button (6) to turn on the heating function. Press it for the first
time to turn on the low-level heating setting. The low-level heating indicator will light
up to indicate the current heat setting.
b) Press the Heating button (6) again to turn on the high level heating setting. The
high-level heating indicator will light up, and the high level heating wire will switch
on after 10 seconds.
c) Press the Heating button (6) a last time to disable the heating function and return
to fan mode.
REMOTE CONTROL
1. Remove the battery cover at the rear of the remote control
2. Place a 3V CR2032 battery in the compartment. Pay attention to the positive and
negative terminals.
3. Place the compartment back inside the remote.
4. During use, point towards the infrared receiver as shown on page 8.
Operation
11
Over time, dust can accumulate on the grille covers, filter (if applicable) and fan
blades, which can aect the fans performance. It is recommended to clean the fan at
least once a month.
1. Turn the unit OFF and disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
2. Remove any dust build up with a soft brush.
3. Pull the rear dust guard outwards to remove the dust screen.
4. Take out the filter for cleaning.
5. Wipe the surface of the unit with a soft damp cloth. Mild detergent can be used
for any stubborn marks.
IMPORTANT
The control panel and other parts must not come into contact with water or any
other liquids.
Storage
If not using the unit for an extended period of time. After cleaning please:
• Turn the unit o, unplug and take care of the mains lead & plug.
•
Cover the unit and store it upright in a location where it will not receive direct sunlight.
Note: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight will discolour the outer casing.
Cleaning
