Operation in Summer
In warm weather, the reverse switch should
be set to produce a downward flow of air.
The constant, gentle breeze will transfer
heat from your body; thus, you will feel
cooler even if the temperature remains
unchanged. This cooling effect is referred
to as a wind-chill factor. In an air-
conditioned home, the wind-chill factor
will allow you to set the thermostat higher
than the usual setting. While using less
energy to air-condition your home, you
will stay just as cool.
For summer cooling, set the speed control
on medium or fast speed. This will
provide sufficient airflow to accomplish a
cooling effect. The exception to this is in
bedrooms where a brisk, downward flow
would be too chilly. A low-speed, gentle
breeze is all that is necessary to keep you
comfortable at night.
Operating in Winter
Winter comfort requires a different
approach. Because warm air rises the air
close to the ceiling is always warmer-by
perhaps 15 degrees-than the air close to the
floor. To prevent heat from hovering
where it does little good, move the reverse
switch to create an upward airflow. This
will pull cool air up and force warm air
across the ceiling and down the walls. Set
the variable speed control fast enough to
break up the air stratification, but slow
enough not to create a draft. By keeping
the heat circulating, the heater will not
have to operate as often to keep you warm.
