Energy Efficient Use of Ceiling Fans

Ceiling  fan  performance  and  energy  savings  rely
heavily  on  the  proper  installation  and  use  of  the
ceiling fan. Here are a few tips to ensure efficient
product performance.

Choosing the Appropriate Mounting Location

Ceiling  fans  should  be  installed,  or  mounted,  in  the
middle of the room and at least 2.3 M above the floor
and 18 inches from the walls. If ceiling height allows,
install  the  fan  8  -  9  feet  above  the  floor  for  optimal
airflow.  Consult  your  Fanimation  Retailer  for  optional
mounting accessories.

Turn Off When Not in the Room

Ceiling  fans  cool  people,  not  rooms.  If  the  room  is
unoccupied, turn off the ceiling fan to save energy.

Using the Ceiling Fan Year Round

Summer  Season:  Use  the  ceiling  fan  in  the
counterclockwise  direction.  The  airflow  produced  by
the ceiling fan creates a wind-chill effect, making you
“feel”  cooler.  Select  a  fan  speed  that  provides  a
comfortable  breeze,  lower  speeds  consume  less
energy.

Winter  Season:  Reverse  the  motor  and  operate  the
ceiling  fan  at  low  speed  in  the  clockwise  direction.
This produces a gentle updraft, which forces warm air
near  the  ceiling  down  into  the  occupied  space.
Remember to adjust your thermostat when using your
ceiling  fan  -  additional  energy  and  dollar  savings
could be realized with this simple step!

Electrical and Structural Requirements

If  your  fan  is  to  replace  an  existing  light  fixture,  turn
electricity  off  at  the  main  fuse  box  at  this  time  and
remove the existing light fixture.

To  avoid  fire  or  shock,  follow  all  wiring  instructions
carefully.  Any  electrical  work  not  described  in  these
instructions  should  be  done  or  approved  by  a
licensed electrician.

Turning  off  wall  switch  is  not  sufficient.  To  avoid
possible  electrical  shock,  be  sure  electricity  is
turned  off  at  the  main  fuse  box  before  wiring.  All
wiring  must  be  in  accordance  with  National  and
Local  codes  and  the  ceiling  fan  must  be  properly
grounded as a precaution against possible electrical
shock.

WARNING

!

To  reduce  the  risk  of  fire,  electrical  shock,  or
personal  injury,  mount  fan  to  outlet  box  marked

Use  screws  supplied  with  outlet  box.  Most  outlet
boxes  commonly  used  for  support  of  light  fixtures
are  not  acceptable  for  fan  support  and  may  need  to
be  replaced.  Consult  a  qualified  electrician  if
in doubt.
