10-3. Ceiling fans work best by blowing air downward
(counterclockwise blade rotation) in warm weather to cool the
room with a direct breeze. In cold weather, 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.

scratching.Avacuumcleanerbrushnozzlecanremoveheavier

using a mild detergent and a slightly dampened cloth. You may
