REMOTE CONTROL

Screwdriver required.
Your circulator remote includes (1) coin style 3V CR2032 battery. Battery comes pre-installed. Remove battery pull tab before first use.

1. For battery replacement, the remote requires one coin style 3V CR2032 battery. Always use the correct size and grade of battery for this product.
2. To replace battery, open battery door on the back side of the remote control (you will need to loosen the small screw on door using a #1 Phillips screwdriver). If necessary, clean the battery contacts and also those of the device prior to battery installation. Remove any plastic protection from the battery and place it in the remote with the + side facing out. Ensure the battery is installed correctly with regard to polarity. Replace the battery door and screw.

Note: Remove battery from the remote control when not in use for an extended period of time and always remove dead battery immediately and replace with fresh. Do not store dead battery in remote.
The remote control functions are the same as the control panel on the circulator.
The remote requires a line-of-sight path to allow for the signal to be received by the circulator. Point the remote control at the display panel for best reception.

This product contains a button battery. If swallowed, it could cause severe injury or death in just 2 hours. Seek medical attention immediately.

GRILLE & BLADE REMOVAL

Screwdriver required.

To reduce the risk of electrical shock and injury to persons, unplug the circulator before removing grille or blade.

REMOVABLE GRILLE

1. Using a phillips head screwdriver, remove grille by unscrewing the 4 screws located along the perimeter of the inlet grille at roughly 2, 5, 7, and 10 o'clock positions. This will release the grille. To reattach, position grille so the logo in the center of the grille is straight. Align the Locator Pin to reconnect grille. Once aligned replace screws.
   
2. Dust or wash with a mild dishwashing soap. Do not place grille in the dishwasher. The excessive heat can distort the plastic.

BLADE REMOVAL

1. It is possible to remove the blade should something accidentally get wrapped around the motor shaft. First, remove the nut from the shaft. Turn the nut clockwise to loosen. Pull the blade straight out from the shaft. When replacing, the blade can only go on the shaft one way. Be certain the flat side of the shaft aligns directly with the corresponding flat side on the blade's socket. Push the blade all the way on the shaft until it bottoms out. Do not use a hammer as this could result in bearing damage. Reinstall nut.
2. Wipe blade with a damp cloth. If your Air Circulator is used in a greasy environment, such as a kitchen, mild soap or a common household cleaner may be necessary. Do not use solvents.
