9 • Operating and Cleaning Your Ceiling Fan
In warm weather, use 
downward air  ow pattern
In cold weather, use upward 
air  ow pattern
9-1.  Turn on electrical power to the fan.
9-2.    e fan pull chain controls power to the fan.   e pull chain has 
four settings in sequence: High, Medium, Low and O .
•  Pull the chain slowly to change settings.
•  Release slowly to prevent the chain from recoiling into the 
blades.
•    e chain uses a breakaway connector that separates if the 
chain is jerked. If this happens, simply reinsert the chain into 
the connector.
9-3.  Ceiling fans work best by blowing air downward (counterclockwise 
blade rotation) in warm weather to cool the room with a direct 
breeze. In cold weather, having the fan draw air upward (clockwise 
blade rotation) will distribute the warmer air trapped at the 
ceiling around the room without causing a draft. 
9-4.  For cleaning  nishes, use a soft brush or lint-free cloth to prevent 
scratching. A vacuum cleaner brush nozzle can remove heavier 
dust. Remove surface smudges or accumulated dirt and dust using 
a mild detergent and a slightly dampened cloth. You may use 
an artistic agent, but never abrasive cleaning agents as they will 
damage the  nish.
9-5.  Clean wood  nish blades with a furniture polishing cloth. 
Occasionally, apply a light coat of furniture polish for added 
protection and beauty. Clean painted and high-gloss blades in the 
same manner as the fan  nish.
To Change Air ow Direction

stop. Slide the reversing switch on the fan to the 
opposite position. Restart fan.
