Tips for Getting the Best Performance
Place the fan on a flat stable surface before use. Use the lowest speed when you want quieter airflow while sleeping, reading or working. Increase the speed when the room feels warmer or you need stronger cooling. Turn on the 90° oscillation to circulate air across a wider area. Position the fan with clear space around the front and back so airflow is not restricted. Keep the controls within easy reach for quick adjustments.
