10 • Operating and Cleaning Your Ceiling Fan
10-1. Turn on electrical power to the fan.
10-2. Ceiling fans work best by blowing air downward (counterclockwise
blade rotation) in warm weather to cool the room with a direct
breeze. In cold weather, 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.
10-3. 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.
10-4. 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 Airow 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.
