1. Restore electrical power to the outlet box by turning
the electricity on at the main fuse box.
2. Check the operation of the fan by gently pulling on
the pull chain switch.
3. All fans are shipped from the factory with the
reversing switch positioned “down” to circulate air
downward.
4. If airflow is desired in opposite direction, turn your
fan OFF and wait for the blades to stop turning,
then slide the reversing switch to the “up” position,
and turn fan on again. The fan blades will turn in
the opposite direction and reverse the airflow.
Your fan model is equipped with a 4-position,
3-speed pull chain switch. The operating sequence
is as follows:

Energy Efficient
Use of Ceiling Fans
Ceiling fan performance and energy savings rely heavily
on the proper installation and use of the ceiling fan.
Here are a few tips to ensure quality and product
performance.
Choosing the Appropriate Mounting Location.
Ceiling fans should be installed, or mounted, in the
middle of the room and at least 7 feet above the floor
and 18 inches from the walls. If ceiling height allows,
install the fan 8 - 9 feet above the floor for optimal
airflow. Consult your Emerson Retailer for optional
mounting accessories.
Using the Ceiling Fan Year Round. In the summer,
use the ceiling fan in the counter-clockwise direction.
The airflow produced by the ceiling fan creates a wind-
chill effect, making you "feel" cooler. Select a fan speed
that provides a comfortable breeze, lower speeds con-
sume less energy. In the winter, reverse the motor and
operate the ceiling fan at low speed in the clockwise
direction. This produces a gentle updraft, which forces
warm air near the ceiling down into the occupied space.
Remember to adjust your thermostat when using your
ceiling fan - additional energy and dollar savings could
be realized with this simple step!
Turn Off When Not in the Room. Ceiling fans cool
people, not rooms. If the room is unoccupied, turn off
the ceiling fan to save energy.
