To Change Airflow Direction

Reversing	
Switch
8-1.	 Turn	on	electrical	power	to	the	fan.
8-2.	 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.
8-3. The light pull chain controls power to the light. The pull chain has
two settings: On and Off.
8-4. Ceiling fans work best by blowing air downward (counterclockwise
blade	rotation)	in	warm	weather	to	cool	the	room	with	a	direct	
breeze.	In	cold	weather,	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.	
8-5. 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.
8-6. 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.
