Operation

Speed settings for warm or cool weather depend on factors such as room size, ceiling height, number of fans and so on.
The slide switch controls direction, forward or reverse.
Warm weather - (Forward) Fan turns counterclockwise direction. A downward air flow creates a
cooling effect as shown in illustration A. This allows you to set your air conditioner on a higher
temperature setting without affecting your comfort.
Cool weather - (Reverse) Fan turns clockwise direction. An upward airflow moves warm air off the
ceiling area as shown in illustration B. This allows you to set your heating unit on a lower setting
without affecting your comfort. (Please however refer to point 14 in Safety Tips when operating
in this position.)
NOTE: Turn off and wait for fan to stop before changing the setting of the forward/reverse slide switch.

Maintenance

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.
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 electrical shock.
3. Use only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. The plating is sealed with a lacquer coating to minimize
discoloration or tarnishing.
4. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated bearings.

SUGGESTED REMEDy
1. Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.
2. Check wire connections as performed in step #11 of installation.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off.
3. Make sure forward/reverse switch is firmly to one side or the other. Fan will not operate
when switch is in the middle.
4. If the fan still will not start, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to troubleshoot
internal electrical connections yourself.
1. Check to make sure all screws in motor housing are snug (not over tightened).
2. Check to make sure the screws which attach the fan blade holder to the motor are tight.
3. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed controls.
DO NOT USE a Solid State variable speed control.
4. Allow "break-in" period of 24 hours. Most noises associated with a new fan will disappear
after this period.
1. Check that all blades are screwed firmly into blade holders.
2. Check that all blade holders are tightened securely to motor.
3. Make sure that canopy and mounting bracket are tightened securely to ceiling joist.
4. If blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can
redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.
1. Check to see that the wire connections in step 11 and 20 are connected.
2. Check for faulty light bulbs.
3. If light kit will still not operate, contact a qualified electrician for assistance.
