Installing Multiple Fans?  
If you are installing more than  
one fan, keep the fan blades and  
blade irons (if applicable) in sets,  
as they were shipped.  
Checking Your Fan Parts

8 • Operating and Cleaning Your Ceiling Fan  
8-1. Turn on electrical power to the fan.  
8-2. e fan pull chain controls power to the fan. e pull chain has  
four settings in sequence: High, Medium, Low and Off.  
• 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.  
8-3. 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.  
In warm weather, use  
downward air flow pattern  
8-4. 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.  
8-5. 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.  
In cold weather, use upward  
air flow pattern  
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.

2. Tighten the blade screws until snug.  
3. Check to see if the blade is cracked. If so, replace all the blades.  
4. Change to an approved speed control.  
5. Be sure that the glass is secure.  
6. Check and tighten the screws in the switch housing mounting  
plate and in the upper and lower switch housing.  
Problem: Excessive wobbling.
