8 • Operating and Cleaning Your Ceiling Fan
8-1. Turn on electrical power to the fan.
8-2. The fan pull chain controls power to the fan. The pull chain has four settings in sequence: High, Medium, Low, and Off.
•Pull the chain slowly to change settings.
•Release slowly to prevent the chain from recoiling into the blades.
•The chain uses a breakaway connector that separates if the chain is jerked. If this happens, simply reinsert the chain into the connector.
8-3. The light pull chain controls the power to the light fixture. The chain has two settings: ON and OFF.
In warm weather, use downward air flow pattern
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 finishes, 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 finish.
8-6. Clean wood finish 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 finish.
In cold weather, use upward
air flow pattern
To Change Airflow Direction
Turn the fan off and let it come to a complete stop. Slide the reversing switch on the fan to the opposite position. Restart fan.
