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.
8-4. For cleaning finishes, use a soft brush or lint-free cloth to prevent
scratching.Avacuumcleanerbrushnozzlecanremoveheavier
