Operation in Summer

In warm weather, the reverse switch should be set to produce a downward flow of air. The constant, gentle breeze will transfer heat from your body; thus, you will feel cooler even if the temperature remains unchanged. This cooling effect is referred to as a wind-chill factor. In an air­conditioned home, the wind-chill factor will allow you to set the thermostat higher than the usual setting. While using less energy to air-condition your home, you will stay just as cool.
For summer cooling, set the speed control on medium or fast speed. This will provide sufficient airflow to accomplish a cooling effect. The exception to this is in bedrooms where a brisk, downward flow would be too chilly. A low- speed, gentle breeze is all that is necessary to keep you comfortable at night.

Operating in Winter

Winter comfort requires a different approach. Because warm air rises the air close to the ceiling is always warmer-by perhaps 15 degrees-than the air close to the floor. To prevent heat from hovering where it does little good, move the reverse switch to create an upward airflow. This will pull cool air up and force warm air across the ceiling and down the walls. Set the speed control fast enough to break up the air stratification, but slow enough not to create a draft. By keeping the heat circulating, the heater will not have to operate as often to keep you warm.

CARE OF YOUR FAN

Here are some suggestions to help you maintain your fan.

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. (It is not necessary to remove fan from ceiling.)
2. Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the years. Use only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. The plating is sealed with a lacquer to minimize discoloration or tarnishing. Do not use water when cleaning. This could damage the motor, or the wood, or possibly cause an electrical shock.
3. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated sealed ball bearings.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Fan will not start.

1. Check main and branch circuit fuses or breakers.
2. Check line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the switch housing.

Fan sounds noisy.

1. Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
2. Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub are tight.
3. Make sure wire nut connections are not rattling against each other or the interior wall of the switch housing.
4. Allow a 24-hour “breaking-in” period. Most noises associated with a new fan disappear during this time.
5. If using ceiling fan light kit, make sure the screws securing the glassware are tight. Check that the light bulb is also secure.
6. Make sure there is a short distance from the ceiling to the canopy. It should not touch the ceiling.
7. Make sure your ceiling box is secure and rubber isolator pads are used between mounting bracket and outlet box.

Remote control malfunction.
Do not connect the fan with a wall mounted variable speed control(s).

Fan wobble.

1. Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure.

2. Most fan wobbling problems are caused when blade levels are unequal.
   Check this level by selecting a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of the blades. Measure this distance. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. The distance deviation should be equal within 1/8″.

3. Use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit if the blade wobble is still noticeable.

4. If the blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.

WARNING : TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, DO NOT BEND THE BLADE ARM WHILE INSTALLING, BALANCING THE BLADES, OR CLEANING THE FAN. DO NOT INSERT FOREIGN OBJECTS BETWEEN ROTATING FAN BLADES.

REMOTE CONTROL SETTING AND OPERATION
