In warm weather, use 
downward air flow pattern
In cold weather, use upward  
air flow pattern
10-1.  Turn on electrical power to the fan.
10-2.  Ceiling fans work best by blowing air downward 
(counterclockwise blade rotation) in warm weather to cool the 
room with a direct breeze. In winter, 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. 
10-3.  For cleaning finishes, 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 finish.
10-4.  Clean wood finish 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 finish.
To Change Airflow Direction
Turn the fan off and let it come to a complete 
stop. Slide the reversing switch on the fan to the 
opposite position. Restart fan.
