9 • Operating and Cleaning Your Ceiling Fan
9-1. Turn on electrical power to the fan.
9-2. The first time the fan is turned on, let it run continuously and undisturbed for 10-15 minutes. The fan may wobble at first, but then the Perfect BalanceTM mechanism will take control and balance out the fan.
Note: The first time the fan is turned on, the components might make a slight noise as they come in contact with each other. This sound is normal and will stop within moments.
9-3. 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 | In warm weather, use |
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 | downward air flow pattern |
connector.
9-4. 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.
9-5. 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.
| 9-6. Clean wood finish blades with a furniture polishing cloth. Occasionally, | |
| apply a light coat of furniture polish for added protection and beauty. | In cold weather, use upward |
| Clean painted and high-gloss blades in the same manner as the fan |
| air flow pattern |
| finish. |
