In cold weather, use upward 
air flow pattern
8-1. Turn on electrical power to the fan.
8-2. 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.
8-3. 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. 
8-4. 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.
8-5. 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. 
Remove the glass bowl. Slide the reversing switch 
on the fan to the opposite position. Reinstall the 
glass bowl. Restart the fan.
