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.

Sugested 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 all screws installed or adjusted during assembly and installation of the fan to ensure that they
are properly secured.
2. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed controls.
DO NOT USE a Solid State variable speed control.
3. 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. Make sure that canopy and mounting bracket are tightened securely to ceiling joist.
3. Make sure the set screws in the down rod coupling (under the coupling cover, refer to step 7 on page 7) are secure.
1. Check to see that the wire connections in step 11 .
2. Check for faulty light bulbs.
3. If light kit will still not operate, contact a qualified electrician for assistance.
