This document is a user manual for the Honeywell Glen Alden 52" Ceiling Fan, Model #50180. It provides comprehensive instructions for assembly, installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting, along with a parts list and warranty information.
Function Description:
The Honeywell Glen Alden 52" Ceiling Fan is designed to provide air circulation and can be used to optimize room comfort in both warm and cool weather. It features a reversible motor that allows for downward airflow (wind chill effect) in warmer weather and upward airflow (to circulate warm air off the ceiling) in cooler weather, potentially leading to energy savings. The fan is equipped with a pull chain for operation and has provisions for a light kit (though the light kit itself is not explicitly detailed as included or optional in the provided pages, the wiring diagram and reverse switch location imply its presence).

Usage Features:
- Reversible Motor: A reverse switch, located on the side of the light kit, allows the fan to operate in two modes:
- Warmer Weather (Switch Left): Creates downward airflow for a wind chill effect, allowing the thermostat to be set a few degrees warmer for energy savings.
- Cooler Weather (Switch Right): Creates upward airflow to help move hot air off the ceiling area, mixing the air and potentially reducing heating costs.
- Pull Chain Operation: The fan speed and potentially the light (if installed) are controlled via pull chains.
- Fast Attach™ System: The blades attach to the blade arms using a twist-lock mechanism for easier installation.
- Separate Light and Fan Control (Optional): If a second hot power wire is available from the outlet box, the blue (light power) wire from the fan can be connected to it for independent control of the light and fan.
Maintenance Features:
- Regular Inspection: At least twice a year, the canopy should be lowered to check the downrod assembly, and all screws on the fan should be tightened.
- Cleaning:
- Motor Housing: Clean with a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish.
- Blades: Clean with a lint-free cloth. A light coat of furniture polish can be applied to wood blades for added protection.
- Safety Precaution: Always shut off the main power supply before beginning any maintenance tasks. Do not use water or a damp cloth to clean the ceiling fan.
- Troubleshooting Guide: The manual includes a section to help diagnose and resolve common issues such as the fan not moving, being noisy, or having excessive wobbling. Solutions include checking power, connections, screws, and blade balance.
Installation Process Highlights:
- Safety First: Disconnect power at circuit breakers and wall switch.
