Operation
OPERATING YOUR FAN
Turn on the power and check the operation of the fan. The fan pull chain
controls the fan speed as follows:
- 1 pull – High, 2 pulls – Medium, 3 pulls – Low, 4 pulls – off
- The appropriate speed settings for warm or cool weather depend on factors such as the room size, ceiling height, and a number of fans.
- The slide switch (XX) controls the direction of the blades: forward (switch left) or reverse (switch right).
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 higher 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.
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
Problem | Solution |
---|---|
The fan will not start. |
- Check the main and branch circuit fuses or breakers.
- Check the line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the switch housing.
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.
- If 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.
- Ensure your outlet box is secure and rubber isolator pads were used between the mounting plate and outlet box.
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. Measure this distance. 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.
