Usage Features:

• Pull Chain Control:
  • Fan Speed: The fan pull chain offers four positions: one pull for HIGH speed, two for MEDIUM, three for LOW, and four pulls to turn the fan OFF.
  • Light Control: The light pull chain has two positions: OFF and ON. (Note: The manual also states the light pull chain has four positions to control the light, with one pull for HIGH, two for MEDIUM, three for LOW, and four to turn the light OFF. This appears to be a contradiction; typically, light control is a simple on/off or dimmer function, not speed settings. Given the fan comes with LED bulbs, a simple on/off is more likely for the light pull chain, while the fan speed is controlled by its dedicated pull chain.)
• Reverse Switch: Located on the light kit, this switch allows users to change the direction of blade rotation.
  • Warmer Weather: Pushing the reverse switch toward the center of the light kit results in downward airflow, creating a wind chill effect.
  • Cooler Weather: Pushing the reverse switch away from the center of the light kit results in upward airflow, which helps move hot air off the ceiling area.
  • Important Note: The fan must be stopped completely before moving the reverse switch. The switch must be set completely left or right for the fan to function; if it's in the middle position, the fan will not operate.
• Energy Efficiency: Using a ceiling fan can help optimize thermostat settings, potentially reducing heating and cooling costs.
• Bulb Type: Uses E26-base LED bulbs, which are generally more energy-efficient and longer-lasting than traditional incandescent bulbs.
