7-1. Turn on electrical power to the fan.
7-2. The fan pull chain controls power to the fan. The pull chain has 
four settings in sequence: High, Medium, Low and Off.
• Pull the chain slowly to change settings.
• Release slowly to prevent the chain from recoiling into the 
blades.
• The chain uses a breakaway connector that separates if the
chain is jerked. If this happens, simply reinsert the chain into 
the connector.
7-3. The light pull chain controls power to the light. The pull chain has
two settings: On and Off.
7-4. Ceiling fans work best by blowing air downward (counterclockwise
blade rotation) in warm weather to cool the room with a direct 
breeze. In winter, having the fan draw air upward (clockwise blade 
rotation) will distribute the warmer air trapped at the ceiling 
around the room without causing a draft. 
7-5. For cleaning finishes, use a soft brush or lint-free cloth to prevent
scratching. A vacuum cleaner brush nozzle can remove heavier 
dust. Remove surface smudges or accumulated dirt and dust using 
a mild detergent and a slightly dampened cloth. You may use 
an artistic agent, but never abrasive cleaning agents as they will 
damage the finish.
7-6. Clean wood finish blades with a furniture polishing cloth.
Occasionally, apply a light coat of furniture polish for added 
protection and beauty. Clean painted and high-gloss blades in the 
same manner as the fan finish.
To Change Airflow Direction
Turn the fan off and let it come to a complete 
stop. Slide the reversing switch on the fan to the 
opposite position. Restart fan.
In warm weather, use 
downward air flow pattern
In cold weather, use upward 
air flow pattern
