However, it is not suitable to withstand heavy rain or water
submersion. Do not charge or use your fan in the rain.
The second LED indicator and the
Battery LED (in amber) are flashing.
What is wrong?

Every 12 months or as needed, use a damp cloth to wipe
down the external surfaces of the fan to prevent buildup.
How often should I clean
the misting system?
Clean the misting system every week or as needed.
Using harder water will require more frequent cleaning.
See Maintenance section for more information on cleaning
the misting system.
Why isn’t my fan
misting eectively?
Ensure the misting cap located in the center of the fan gill
is fully open. See the Misting section for more information.
The misting system may clog if not maintained properly. See
