Operating Your Fan

Your fan is equipped with a remote control to operate the fan speed and lights of your new ceiling fan.
The appropriate speed settings for warm or cool weather depends on factors such as the room size, ceiling height, and number of fans. The fan is shipped from the factory with the reversing switch positioned to circulate air downward. If airflow is desired in the opposite direction, turn your fan off and wait for the blades to stop turning, then slide the reversing switch (XX) (located in switch cup) to the opposite position, and turn the fan on again. The fan blades will turn in the opposite direction and reverse airflow.

NOTE: Wait for the fan to stop before reversing the direction of the blade rotation.

Warm weather – (Forward) A downward airflow creates a cooling effect.
This allows you to set your air conditioner on a warmer setting without affecting your comfort.

Cool weather – (Reverse) An upward airflow moves warm air off of the ceiling. This allows you to set your heating unit on a lower setting without affecting your comfort.

USING THE REMOTE CONTROL

1. Power ON/OFF. – Press and release the button to turn the fan and light on or off.
   • Press and hold the button for 5 seconds to use the “walk away time delay”; this will activate the light for 30 seconds (the light will be activated at 50% brightness).
2. Fan Speed – LEDs on the fan speed button will illuminate to the corresponding speed.
   • Press and release 1 time – turns the fan on high speed.
   • Press and release 2 times – turns the fan on medium speed.
   • Press and release 3 times – turns the fan on low speed.
3.  Light ON/OFF
   • Press and release the button to turn the light on or off.
   • Press and hold the button to activate the dimmer function
     (as long as you have NOT previously set O/D dip switch in your remote to the “ON” position).

Care and Cleaning

WARNING: Make sure the power is off before cleaning your fan.

• 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 the fan from the ceiling.
• Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the years. Do not use water when cleaning, as this could damage the motor, or the wood, or possibly cause an electrical shock. 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.
• You can apply a light coat of furniture polish to the wood for additional protection and enhanced beauty. Cover small scratches with a light application of shoe polish.
• You do not need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated sealed ball bearings.

Troubleshooting

• Check the main and branch circuit fuses or breakers.
• Check to make sure the wall switch is in the on position if applicable.
• Check the line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the switch housing.
• Check the battery in the transmitter.
• Ensure you are in the normal range of 10-20 feet.

The fan is noisy.|

• Ensure all motor housing screws are snug.
• Ensure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub are tight.
• Ensure the wire nut connections are not rattling against each other or the interior wall of the switch housing.
• Allow a 24-hour “breaking in” period. Most noises associated with a new fan disappear during this time.
• f you are using the ceiling fan light kit, ensure the screws securing the glassware are tight. Check that the light bulbs are also secure.
• Ensure the canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It should not touch the ceiling.

The fan wobbles.|

• Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure.
• Most fan wobble 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 from a point on the center of each blade to the point on the ceiling. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. Any measurement deviation should be within 1/8 in. Run the fan for ten minutes. If the fan continues to wobble please contact Customer Service and a balancing kit will be sent to you at no charge.
