INSTRUCTIONS
A ceiling fan has a totally internal switching system for total operation by way of
pull chain on a fan/light combination. Three pull chains will exist. One for light, on and off.
The second is for fan speeds. This will be marked (SPEED) on the fan switch housing.
1st Pull will give fan High Speed
2nd Pull will give fan Medium Speed
3rd Pull will give fan Low Speed
4th Pull will Shut Fan Off
The second pull chain is for Forward/Reverse (Note: Some models come with a slide
switch instead of a pull chain). This setting would usually be changed once per year.
Downdraft for summer to create a wind chill to give a cooling effect. An Updraft in
winter to circulate the hot stratied air off the ceiling and back down to the oor
without creating a wind chill.
Fans should be installed with the blades at least 3cms below the ceiling, 200cms from the oor and
60cms from the nearest wall. • Air should be moved downwards from the deiling in the summer to
provide a cooling breeze on the room occupants. • If the fan is used in the winter, air should be moved
upwards towards the ceiling to disperse the warm air that tends to accumulate there an distribute it
more evenly in the room. • During the summer, switch the fan and light off when you leave the room.
Fans don’t actually cool a room, they just cool you by circulating air.
