function which has 256 code cominations to prevent potential interference
from other remote units. The frequency on your Receiver and Transmitter units
have been preset at the factory. (Fig.12). No frequency change is necessary,
should you desire to install another fan within the same home or area with
a seperate frequency code please see the “frequency interference ” troub-
leshooting section of this instruction manual to learn how to change the
frequency.

After all splices are made, check to make
sure there are no loose strands. As an
additional precaution we suggest to secure
the plastic wire connectors to the wires
with electrical tape.
Note: Fan must be installed from a maximum
distance of 40 feet from the transmitting
unit for proper signal transmission between
the transmitting unit and the fan's receiving
unit. Fig.13

SUMMER OPERATION WINTER OPERATION
Speed settings for warm or cold weather depend
on factors such as room size, ceiling height and
number of fans.
NOTE: To change the direction of the rotation of
the blades the fan must be in operation mode.
Warm Weather (forward)
A DOWNWARD airflow creates a cooling effect
as shown in Figure 21. This allows you to set your
air conditioner on a warmer setting without
affecting your comfort.
Cool Weather (Reverse)
An UPWARD airflow moves warmer air off the
ceiling area as shown in Figure 22.This allows
you to set your heating unit on a cooler setting
without affecting your comfort.

Here are some suggestions to help you maintain your fan.
1. Because of the fan's matural novement,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. )
2. Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over
the years. Do not use water when cleaning. This could damage the
motor,or the wood,or possibly cause an electrical shock.
3. 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.
4. You can apply a light coat of furniture polish to the wood for
additional protection and enhanced beauty. Cover small scratches
with a light application of shoe polish.
5. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently
lubricated bearings.
6. All glass should be cleaned using lukewarm soapy water and a soft
cloth or sponge DO NOT IMMERSE GLASS IN HOT WATER DO NOT PUT
GLASS INTO AN AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER.
