Frequently Asked Questions - 40160 InLine

How do I assemble the InLine 40160 fan?

Mount the telescopic rod to the foot using the supplied screw. Place the drive unit on the rod and tighten the screw on the back. Attach the rear grille with the plastic union nut. Push the transparent propeller onto the drive axle, ensuring the pin fits into the recess, then screw the grip screw tight (left turn to tighten). Hang the front grille on the rear grille and close the metal hinges, then secure with the supplied screw.

How do I connect the fan to WiFi?

Plug in the fan. The blue LED should blink rapidly. Open the Smart Life app, tap '+' and select 'Auto Scan'. When 'WiFi Fan' appears, tap to connect. Enter your WiFi password (2.4 GHz only) and confirm. If auto scan fails, use AP mode: press the power button for 5 seconds until a second beep (blue LED blinks fast), then press again for 5 seconds (slow blink). In app tap '+', select 'Fan' under 'Small Household Appliances', then choose 'AP mode' and follow the in-app instructions.

How do I set the timer?

Press the timer button on the fan or in the app repeatedly to cycle through 1h, 2h, 3h, or 4h. The corresponding LED will light up. The fan will automatically turn off after the selected time.

How do I activate sleep mode?

Press and hold the speed button on the fan for about 3 seconds until you hear a beep and the sleep mode LED lights up. The fan will automatically reduce speed by one level after 30 minutes and remain at level 1. To deactivate, press and hold the speed button again for 3 seconds.

How do I turn on oscillation?

Press the oscillation button on the fan or in the app. The fan will begin sweeping left and right (approx. 60°). Press again to stop.

How do I clean the fan?

Always unplug the fan before cleaning. Use a damp, soft cloth to wipe the grilles, propeller, and stand. Do not use harsh chemicals or immerse in water. Allow to dry completely before use.

What voice assistants are compatible with the fan?

The InLine 40160 works with Amazon Alexa and Google Home. After connecting the fan to the Smart Life app, link the app to your voice assistant's service to enable voice commands like 'Alexa, turn on the fan'.

Why won't my fan connect to WiFi?

Ensure your router is on 2.4 GHz band (the fan does not support 5 GHz). Check that WiFi encryption is set to WPA2-PSK with AES. Keep the fan close to the router during setup. If the blue LED is not blinking rapidly, reset the device by pressing the power button for 5 seconds until a second beep. Try the AP mode method described in the manual.

Is the fan safe to use outdoors?

No, the fan is designed for indoor use only. Do not expose it to rain, moisture, or extreme temperatures. Use on a stable, level surface.

How do I dispose of the fan when it's no longer usable?

Do not dispose of the fan with household waste. Electrical and electronic equipment must be taken to designated collection points or returned to the retailer. Dispose of packaging materials separately according to local regulations.
