Mounting and Optional Accessories
Understanding Mounting
Hunter’s patented mounting system provides you maximum
installation exibility and ease. You can install your Hunter fan in one
of two ways, depending on ceiling height and your preference: Standard
or Angle mounting. e steps in this manual include instructions for
both mounting methods.
Considering Optional Accessories
Consider using Hunter’s optional accessories, including a wall-mounted
or remote speed control. To install and use the accessories, follow
the instructions included with each product. For quiet and optimum
performance of your Hunter fan, use only Hunter speed controls.
Standard Mounting hangs from
the ceiling by a downrod (included),
recommended for ceilings 8 feet or higher
Angle Mounting recommended for a
vaulted or angled ceiling
For ceilings higher than 8 feet, you
can purchase Hunter extension
downrods. All Hunter fans use sturdy
3/4” diameter pipe to assure stability
and wobble-free performance.

installing the fan on an angled ceiling, be sure to orient the hanger
bracket with the large opening towards the ceiling peak.
Note: e isolators should be ush against the ceiling.
2-4. Place a at washer on each of the two 3” screws and pass the
screws through the slotted holes in the hanger bracket into the

10 • Operating and Cleaning Your Ceiling Fan
10-1. Restore power at the main electrical panel and turn on the wall
switch. e light kit should turn ON.
Note: To turn on the light without the remote, turn o the wall
switch for 5 seconds, then back on. e light kit will turn on at
maximum brightness.
10-2. Press the remote control’s HIGH speed button. e fan should
start and reach its maximum speed.
Note: For everyday operation, leave the wall switch ON. If the remote
control will not be used for 5 days or more, turn the wall switch OFF.
10-3. 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.
10-4. 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.
10-5. 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.
In warm weather, use
downward air ow pattern
In cold weather, use upward
air ow pattern
To Change Air ow Direction
Turn the fan o and let it come to a complete
stop. Slide the reversing switch on the fan to the
opposite position. Restart fan.
