Assembly
Basic Operation
The Fan has five parts. Two tall pieces comprise the pillar and two
larger pieces are the base. The fan itself is the fifth part.
The buttons on the wireless remote and the control panel are
identical (except for the temperature feature) and correspond to
the same commands. Corresponding LEDs on the front panel
Illuminate to indicate settings.

Fresh Air and Negative Ions
Operation
One of the distinct differences between “fresh” outdoor air and
“stale” indoor air is the balance of negative ions vs. positive ions.
Outdoor air has high concentrations negative ions — specifically,
oxygen molecules with an extra electron attached — and relatively
few positive ions (oxygen with an electron stripped away).
MODE
Select from three wind
simulation patterns:
Constant - No fluctuation in
wind intensity.
Natural - Changes in air flow
High concentrations of negative ions are found in the most
invigorating outdoor places — evergreen forests, around waterfalls,
on beaches with crashing surf or anywhere after thunderstorms,
when the air seems almost crisp and spicy with freshness!
to simulate natural breezes.
Sleep - Gentle and subtle
shifts in air flow.
At the other extreme, positive ions are found in high concentrations
inside closed, air-conditioned and heated buildings, and outdoors
in cities during rush hours (pollution depletes negative ions).
Mode Button
Note: If you change settings on the fan control panel, it does
Many believe that this balance of negative ions versus positive
ions may someday be controlled indoors — just as we currently
regulate indoor air’s humidity and temperature. In this way, we
would hope to restore our homes and work environments to
something more like those refreshing outdoor places.
not update or change your remote display.
For example, if you turn the fan off at the control panel, the
remote will still indicate that the fan is on. In this situation, you
would need to press POWER on the remote twice to turn the
fan back on.
Sharper Image Design’s Feel-Good Fan® — with its negative-ion
feature — is a step in that direction.

Temperature Control
Cleaning Instructions
Unplug the unit before cleaning and allow it to dry before
returning the plug to the power outlet.
Use the remote control to set a desirable temperature point for the
fan. Although there is a temperature readout on the remote itself,
the measurement that controls the fan is taken at the fan. This
way, if the remote is left in direct sunlight, next to a window and
getting a false reading, it will not affect the operation of the fan.
The exterior of the unit and the remote control can be cleaned
using a soft cloth or sponge, and a mild solution of dishwashing
detergent.
The fan stops and starts automatically according to the room
temperature as measured at the fan.
The front and rear grills can be
taken off the main housing for
easy removal of any dust col-
