Speed settings for warm or cool weather
depend on factors such as the room
size,ceiling height, number of fans,etc.
The slide switch, on the switch cup,controls
the forward or reverse direction of the fan.
Down or to the left is for warm weather
operation. Up or to the right is for cool
weather operation.

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 Fighre 18.This allows you to set your
heating unit on a cooler setting without
affecting your comfort.
The pull chain on your fan controls the speed
settings as follows:

become loose. Check the support connections, brackets, and blade
attachemets 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 ovetr
the years.
3. Use only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to aviod scratching the finish.
The plating is sealed with a lacquer to minimize discoloration or
tarnishing.
4. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently
lubricated bearings.
