operating your ceiling fan

1.Turn on electrical power to the fan.

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.

3.Ceiling fans work best by blowing air downward (counterclock- wise blade rotation) in warm weather to cool the room with a direct breeze. In winter, having the fan draw air upward (clock- wise blade rotation) will distribute the warmer air trapped at the ceiling around the room without causing a draft. Refer to Figure 27.

Figure 27 - Air flow patterns

To change the direction of air flow, turn the fan off and let it come to a complete stop. Slide the reversing switch on the fan to the opposite position as shown in Figure 28. Restart fan.

cleaning your ceiling fan

caring for finishes

For cleaning, a soft brush or lint-free cloth should be used to pre- vent scratching the finish. A vacuum cleaner brush nozzle can re- move heavier dust. Surface smudges or an accumulation of dirt and dust can easily be removed by using a mild detergent and a slightly dampened cloth. An artistic agent may be used, but never use abrasive cleaning agents as they will damage the finish.

caring for blades

Wood finish blades should be cleaned with a furniture polishing cloth. Occasionally, a light coat of furniture polish may be applied for added protection and beauty. Painted and high-gloss blades may be cleaned in the same manner as the fan finish.
