OPERATION & MAINTENANCE
GB
Operation
Turn on the power and check operation of fan. The pull chain controls the fan speeds as follows:
1 pull – high;2 pulls– medium; 3 pulls – low; 4 pulls – off. Speed settings for warm or cool weather depend on
factors such as room as size, ceiling height, number of fans and so on. The slide switch controls direction,
forward or reverse.
Warm weather/down position – (Forward) Fan turns counterclockwise direction. A downward air flow creates a cooling effect
as shown in illustration A. This allows you to set your air conditioner on a higher temperature setting without affecting your
comfort.
Cool weather/up position – (Reverse) Fan turns clockwise direction. An upward airflow moves warm air off the ceiling area as
shown in illustration B. This allows you to set your heating unit on a lower setting without affecting your comfort.
NOTE: Turn off and wait for fan to stop before changing the setting of the forward/reverse slide switch.
Maintenance
1. Because of the fan's natural movement, some connections may become loose. Check the support connections,
brackets, and blade attachments twice a year. Make sure they are secure.
2. Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the years. Do not use water when cleaning.
This could damage the motor, or the wood, or possibly cause electrical shock.
3. Use only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. The plating is sealed with a lacquer coating to
minimize discoloration or tarnishing.
4. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated bearings.

can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.
