In warm weather

, use 

downward air flow pattern

In cold weather

, use upward 

 

air flow pattern

7-1.  Turn on electrical power to the fan.
7-2.  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.

7-3.  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. 

7-4.  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.

7-5.  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.

To Change Airflow Direction

Turn the fan off and let it come to a complete 
stop. Slide the reversing switch on the fan to the 
opposite position. Restart fan.
