The Aire warranty is for one (1) year from the date of purchase from an authorized Aire dealer. This warranty is only
valid to the original purchaser or user against all defects in material and workmanship (light bulbs excluded) for one (1)
full year. Additionally, Aire warrants the motor only for the lifetime of the Aire ceiling fan (excluding wall controls and
electrical components), to the original purchaser or user.
To obtain warranty service during the warranty period, the purchaser should return the fan with the original sales
receipt to the original place of purchase. Replacement is subject to availability of the same model. This is a limited
warranty; the original purchaser or user is responsible for the cost of removal and re-installation of repaired or
replacement product. Outdoor finishes are specifically excluded from the terms of this warranty since they are subject
to environmental and maintenance damages beyond our control.

etc.
• The warranty is void once the original purchaser or user ceases to own the fan or the fan is moved from its original
point of installation.
• The warranty is void with the use of any hanger bracket (non-Aire or non-fan specific) other than the hanger bracket
supplied in the box.
• The warranty is void if installed in an environment other than its intended use (Indoor fans installed outdoors or in a
covered outdoor patio area, or subjected to environmental conditions: salt air, humidity, direct sun exposure, etc.).
Outdoor finfshes are specifically excluded from the terms of this warranty since they are subject to environmental
and maintenance damages beyond our control.

OPERATING YOUR FAN
Restore power to ceiling fan and test for proper operation.
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 switch cup. Slide the switch to the Left for warm weather operation. Slide the
switch to the Right for cool weather operation.
NOTE: Wait for fan to stop before changing the setting of the slide switch.
Warm weather - (Forward)
A downward airflow creates a cooling effect as shown in Fig. 19. This allows you to set your air conditioner on a warmer
setting without affecting your comfort.
Cool weather - (Reverse)
An upward airflow moves warm air off the ceiling area as shown in Fig. 20. This allows you to set your heating unit on
a cooler setting without affecting your comfort.
The pull chain controls the fan speed as follows: 1st pull - High , 2nd pul l - Med, 3rd pull - Low and 4th pul l - Off.

CARE OF YOUR FAN
Here are some suggestions to help maintain your fan.
1. 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 the
ceiling).
2. Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the year. CAUTION: many common household
cleaning products contain chemicals that could damage the finish of your fan. Use only a soft lint free cloth and soapy
water.
3. If your fan is provided with wood veneer blades; you can apply a light coat of furniture polish for additional protection
and enhanced beauty. Cover small scratches with a light application of shoe polish.
4. Use a lint free lightly damp cloth or duster to remove dust from the blades.
5. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated bearings.
6. If your fan is provided with glass shades, clean with lukewarm soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge. DO NOT
IMMERSE GLASS SHADES IN HOT WATER. DO NOT PUT GLASS SHADES INTO AN AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER.
WARNING!
MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF AT THE ELECTRICAL PANEL BOX BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT ANY REPAIRS. REFER TO
THE SECTION, "ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS".

TROUBLESHOOTING
Check to make sure the wall switch is turned on.
Check circuit fuses or breakers.
Caution! Make sure the power is turned off before performing the following steps.
Remove canopy and check wire connections.
Allow a 24-hour "break in" period. Most noises associated with a new fan will go away
during this time.
Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade holder to the motor hub is tight.
Make sure outlet box is secured to building structure, if necessary use the wood screws
provided to further secure outlet box to joist.
Make sure hanger bracket is secure to the outlet box, screws are tight.
NOTE: All blade sets are grouped by weight. Because wood and plastic blades vary in
density, the fan may wobble even though blades are matched.
Make sure outlet box is secured to building structure, if necessary use the wood screws
provided to further secure outlet box to joist.
Make sure hanger bracket is secure to the outlet box, screws are tight.
If a Balancing kit is provided follow the instructions included with the balancing kit to
help correct any excessive wobble.
