Hunter Fan 42783-01 Operating and Cleaning Your Ceiling Fan, To Change Airflow Direction

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. 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.

8-4. 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.

8-5. 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 warm weather, use downward air flow pattern

In cold weather, use upward air flow pattern
