A: Thank you for contacting us. The three modes are regular, sleep, and breeze. Normal Mode: The fan operates at a constant speed, which can be set to low, medium, or high. Breeze Mode: The fan cycles through alternating speeds with brief pauses to simulate a natural outdoor breeze. ​Sleep Mode: This function slows the Breeze setting by one level every ten minutes until it reaches the LOW setting.

A: The behavior you're describing could be happening for one of two reasons: Timer Function: If the timer is set up, the fan will run for the specified duration and then automatically adjust or shut off. To stop this, press the Timer button. You’ll notice the light indicator change to show the current timer setting—simply cycle through until the timer is turned off. Sleep Mode: If Sleep Mode is enabled, the fan will gradually slow down, reducing the breeze setting by one level every ten minutes until it reaches low. To disable Sleep Mode, press the Mode button. The light indicator will show the current mode, so you can adjust it to your preferred setting.
