12 • Operating and Cleaning Your Ceiling Fan
In warm weather, use
downward air ow pattern
12-1. 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.
12-2. 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.
12-3. 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 Airow Direction
Turn the fan o and let it come to a complete stop. Press the reversing
switch on the fan. (You will need to remove the light kit glass to do so.)
Restart fan.
In cold weather, use upward
