Consider using Hunter’s optional accessories, including a wall-mounted
or remote speed control. To install and use the accessories, follow
the instructions included with each product. For quiet and optimum
performance of your Hunter fan, use only Hunter speed controls.
Standard Mounting hangs from the

tag, to the service panel.
2-1. Drill two pilot holes into the wood support structure through the
outermost holes in the outlet box. e pilot holes should be 9/64”
in diameter.
For Angled Ceilings: Be sure to orient the ceiling plate so that the
two tabs are pointing toward the ceiling peak.
2-2. Your fan comes with four preinstalled noise isolators. Check to
make sure all four isolators are in place and were not removed
during shipment.

In warm weather, use

In cold weather, use upward

9-1. Turn on electrical power to the fan.
9-2. e wall unit controls power to the fan. e fan has four
settings in sequence: High, Medium, Low and O.
9-3. 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.
9-4. For cleaning nishes, 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 nish.
9-5. Clean wood nish 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 nish.
To Change Airflow Direction
Turn the fan o and let it come to a complete stop.
Remove the glass bowl. Slide the reversing switch
on the fan to the opposite position.
