To Change Airflow Direction

Remove the glass bowl by pushing it up and turning it 
counterlockwise. Slide the reversing switch on the fan to 
the opposite position. Restart fan, and reinstall the glass 
bowl.

Reversing 

Switch

9-1.  Turn on electrical power to the fan.
9-2.  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.

9-3.  The light pull chain controls power to the light. The pull chain has 

two settings: On and Off.

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.  The blades on this fan have been treated with Hunter’s Dust Armor 

protection, making the blades less likely to attract dust and dirt. Use 
a dry or slightly damp lint free cloth to clean the blades. Do not use a 
furniture polish or any other cleaners that leave any residue, as they 
will damage the protective Dust Armor on the blades. 

9-6.  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.
