Speed settings for warm or cool weather depend
on factors such as the room size, ceiling height,
number of fans, etc.
The Reverse switch is located on the top of motor
housing. Slide the switch to the Left for warm
weather operation. Slide the switch to the Right for
cool weather operation.
Warm weather - (Counter-Clockwise direction)
A downward air flow creates a cooling effect.
(Fig. 23) This allows you to set your air
conditioner on a higher setting without affecting
your comfort.
Cool weather - (Clockwise direction) An upward
airflow moves warm air off the ceiling area. (Fig.

WARNING
MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF AT THE ELECTRICAL PANEL BOX
BEFORE YOU ATTEMPY ANY REPAIRS. REFER TO THE SECTION,
“MAKING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS”.
Because of the fan's natural movement, some
connections may become loose. Check the
support connections, brackets, and blade
attachments twice a year. Make sure they are
secure. (It is not necessary to remove fan from
ceiling.)
Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its
new appearance over the years. Do not use
water when cleaning. Use only a soft brush or
lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish.
The plating is sealed with a lacquer to
minimize discoloration or tarnishing. Do not
use water when cleaning. This could damage
the motor, or the wood, or possibly cause an
electrical shock.
You can apply a light coat of furniture polish to
the wood blades for additional protection and
enhanced beauty. Cover small scratches with a
light application of shoe polish.
There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has
permanently lubricated sealed ball bearings.

Here are some suggestions to help you maintain
your fan.
Check main and branch circuit fuses or breakers.
Check line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in
the switch housing.
Check to make sure the dip switches from the transmitter and receiver
are set to the same frequency.
Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub
is tight.
Make sure wire nut connections are not rattling against each other or
the interior wall of the switch housing.
Allow a 24-hour "breaking-in" period. Most noises associated with a
new fan disappear during this time.
If using ceiling fan light kit, make sure the screws securing the
glassware are tight. Check that the light bulb is also secure.
Make sure there is a short distance from the ceiling to the canopy. It
should not touch the ceiling.
Make sure your ceiling box is secure and rubber isolator pads are used
between mounting bracket and outlet box.
This unit is equipped with a wattage limiting device. Lamping in excess
of 190 watts will disable your ceiling fan's light kit. To reset your light
kit you must turn the power off and relamp, keeping the wattage under
190 watts. Restore power to your ceiling fan and continue normal
operation.
Do not connect the fan with a wall mounted variable speed control(s).
Make sure the dip switches are set correctly.
