18. 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 2.1 m above the floor
and 46 cm from the walls. If ceiling height allows, install
the fan 2. 5 m - 2.75 m above the floor for optimal
airflow. Consult your Emerson Retailer for optional
mounting accessories.
INSTRUCTION TO THE USER (if device contains a digital device)
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This equipment has been certified to comply with the limits for a class B computing device, pursuant to FCC Rules.
In order to maintain compliance with FCC regulations, shielded cables must be used with this equipment. Operation
with non-approved equipment or unshielded cables is likely to result in interference to radio and TV reception. The
user is cautioned that changes and modifications made to the equipment without the approval of manufacturer could
void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations.
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 consume
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.
