Funcionament del ventilador
The Modern Forms app provides comprehensive control over your fan's functions, including fan speed, light brightness, and smart features like breeze mode and adaptive learning.
Fan Speed and Light Control
Adjust the fan speed through six settings for optimal comfort. The integrated LED luminaire offers smooth and continuous brightness control, dimmable to 1%. The LED light is available in 2700K, 3000K, and 3500K options. An optional cover is included to conceal the luminaire if desired.
Funcionament estacional
The fan can be operated in different modes to optimize comfort and energy efficiency throughout the year. In summer, the fan typically rotates counter-clockwise to create a downdraft, producing a cooling effect. In winter, it can be set to rotate clockwise at a low speed to create an updraft, circulating warm air trapped near the ceiling.
