10 • Operating and Cleaning Your Ceiling Fan

10-1. Turn on electrical power to the fan.

10-2. e fan pull chain controls power to the fan. e pull chain has

four settings in sequence: High, Medium, Low and O.

• Pull the chain slowly to change settings.

• Release slowly to prevent the chain from recoiling into the blades.

• e chain uses a breakaway connector that separates if the chain is jerked. If this happens, simply reinsert the chain into the connector.

10-3. e light pull chain controls the power to the light xture. e

chain has two settings: ON and OFF.

10-4. Ceiling fans work best by blowing air downward (counterclockwise

blade rotation) in warm weather to cool the room with a direct breeze. In winter, having the fan draw air upward (clockwise blade rotation) will distribute the warmer air trapped at the ceiling around the room without causing a draft.

10-5. For cleaning nishes, use a soft brush or lint-free cloth to prevent

scratching. A vacuum cleaner brush nozzle can remove heavier dust. Remove surface smudges or accumulated dirt and dust using a mild detergent and a slightly dampened cloth. You may use an artistic agent, but never abrasive cleaning agents as they will damage the nish.

10-6. Clean wood nish blades with a furniture polishing cloth.

Occasionally, apply a light coat of furniture polish for added protection and beauty. Clean painted and high-gloss blades in the same manner as the fan nish.

To Change Airﬂow Direction

Turn the fan o and let it come to a complete stop. Pull the reversing pullchain one time and then restart the fan.

In warm weather, use downward air ow pattern

In cold weather, use upward air ow pattern

2. Check to see if the blade is cracked. If so, replace all the blades.

Problem: Excessive wobbling.

1. If your fan wobbles when operating, use the enclosed balancing kit and instructions to balance the fan.

2. Tighten all blade iron screws.

3. Turn power o, support fan very carefully, and check that the hanger ball is properly seated.

In compliance with U.S. Federal regulations, this ceiling fan contains a wattage saver that limits the light output to 190 Watts. e following issues may arise if total wattage exceeds 190 Watts:

Issue: Lights dim when turned on.

1. It is normal for the lights to dim a couple of seconds after they are turned on. To prevent the lights from dimming, make sure the wattage of light bulbs installed match the specications on the light sockets.

Issue: Light shuts oﬀ suddenly.

1. Turn the power to the fan o at the wall switch. Wait 30 seconds, then resume power to the fan.

2. If lights shut o suddenly again, check to make sure total wattage of bulbs does not exceed 190 Watts.
