Reversing the Fan
Reverse
Switch
Ceiling fans work in two directions: downdraft (counterclockwise rotation) and updraft (clockwise
rotation). To change the direction of air flow, turn the fan off and let it come to a complete stop.
The reversing switch is located inside the light fixture cage. It can only be accessed when the
cage is removed. Slide the reversing switch to the opposite position. Restart the fan.
Updraft (clockwise rotation)
creates a more indirect airflow.
Updraft airflow is great for
moving warm air downward.
Downdraft (counterclockwise
rotation) creates a direct
breeze and maximum cooling
effect.
Troubleshooting
Cleaning the Fan
Use soft brushes or cloths to prevent scratching.
Cleaning products may damage the finishes.
