Usage Features
Installation:
The installation process involves several key steps:
- Choosing the Right Installation Location: Ensure the ceiling box is capable of supporting the fan's weight and that there is adequate clearance from walls and the floor.
- Installing the Ceiling Bracket: Secure the ceiling bracket to the outlet box using machine screws and washers. For support structures, wood screws are used.
- Wiring the Fan: Connect the fan's wiring to the household electrical supply. The manual provides detailed instructions for both single-switch and dual-switch configurations, including grounding, neutral, and hot wire connections (white, black, and blue wires).
- Installing the Fan Body: Hang the fan body from the ceiling bracket hook and align the hanging slots. Secure the fan body to the mounting plate with canopy screws.
- Installing the Blades: Attach the fan blades to the fan body using blade washers and blade screws.
- Assembling the Light Kit: Connect the light kit wiring, secure the light kit assembly to the fan body, and install the bulbs.
- Installing the Bulbs and Glass: Screw in the included bulbs and attach the glass globe by lifting and turning clockwise until snug.
- Installing the Pull Chains: Feed the pull chains through the holes in the upper switch housing and attach the decorative pendants. One pull chain controls the fan speed (from high to off), and the other controls the light fixture (on and off).
Operation:
- Fan Speed Control: The fan speed is controlled by one of the pull chains, offering multiple settings from high to off.
- Light Control: The light fixture is controlled by the other pull chain, allowing it to be turned on or off.
- Reversing the Fan: The fan includes a reverse switch located inside the light fixture. To change the direction of air flow, turn the fan off, remove the glass, slide the reverse switch to the opposite position, and then restart the fan.
- Updraft (Clockwise Rotation): Creates a more indirect airflow, moving warm air downward, ideal for cooler months.
- Downdraft (Counterclockwise Rotation): Creates a direct breeze and maximum cooling effect, ideal for warmer months.
