8 • Operating and Cleaning Your Ceiling Fan
8-1. Turn on electrical power to the fan.
8-2. 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.
8-3. e light pull chain controls the power to the light xture. e
chain has two settings: ON and OFF.
8-4. 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.
8-5. 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.
8-6. 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. Slide the reversing switch on the fan to the opposite position. Restart fan.
Reversing Switch
In warm weather, use downward air ow pattern
In cold weather, use upward air ow pattern
