OPERATION

Forward/Reverse Direction:

Forward is a counterclockwise rotation of the blades when viewed from beneath the fan. This will create a downward breeze that can be felt below the fan. This is the normal direction for the fan to run when the weather is warm.

Reverse (clockwise) will draw air up through the blades and towards the ceiling, down the walls, and into the living space during the cooler months.

CARE AND CLEANING

WARM MONTHS

Forward (counterclockwise)

COOL MONTHS

Reverse (clockwise)

Periodic cleaning of your new ceiling fan is about the only maintenance that is needed. Only use a soft brush or lint free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. DO NOT use water when cleaning your ceiling fan. It could damage the motor or the wood blades and/or create the possibility of electrical shock.

Periodically it may be necessary to re-tighten blade to blade arm screws or blade arm to motor screws to prevent clicking or humming sound during operation. This is especially true in climates with broad temperature and humidity ranges and in fans with painted or high gloss blades.

When dusting the blades, you must support the blade to prevent bending – no pressure should be applied to the blades. If you experience any flaws in the operation of your fan, please check the following points:

TROUBLESHOOTING - IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY

CAUTION: Switch off power supply before carrying out any of these checks.

1.If fan will not start: Check main and branch circuit breakers and/or fuses. Check line wire connections to fan and switch housing wiring. Make sure forward/reverse switch is set to one or the other position, not stuck in between.

2.If fan is noisy: Check and make sure that all screws in motor housing are snug (but not over tight). Check that the screws securing blade brackets to the motor are tight. Check that wire connectors in switch housing are not rattling against each other or the interior wall of the switch housing. Check that all glassware is finger tight and that bulb(s) are well held in the sockets, if a light kit is used. Check that the canopy is firmly attached to hanging bracket and not vibrating against ceiling.

3.If fan wobbles: Check that all blades are firmly screwed into blade arms. Check that all blade arms are firmly secured to the motor. Make sure that the light kit (if present) is firmly attached to switch housing and that all glassware and shades are fas- tened properly. Wobble can also result from even the smallest deviations in distance from blade tip to blade tip - if measure- ments from blade tip to blade tip are not equal, loosen screws connecting blade to bracket one at a time and adjust blade(s) so that distances are equal. Interchanging adjacent blades may redistribute mass and result in smoother operation. Blade arms can be bent slightly to restore same pitch to all blades if a blade is different than the other blades when viewed edge on.
