12-1.   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. 
12-2.   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.
12-3.   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.
