Warm Weather (forward)
A DOWNWARD airflow creates a cooling effect as shown in Figure 21. This allows you to set your air conditioner in a warmer setting without affecting your comfort.

Cool Weather (Reverse)
An UPWARD airflow moves warmer air off the ceiling area as shown in Figure 22. This allows you to set your heating unit in a cooler setting without affecting your comfort.

CARE OF YOUR FAN

Here are some suggestions to help 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 the fan from the ceiling).
2. Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the year. CAUTION; many common household cleaning products contain chemicals that could damage the finish of your fan. Use only a soft lint-free cloth .
3. For the solid wood blade, DO NOT use water to clean it. You can apply a light coat of leather polish for additional protection and enhanced beauty.
4. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated bearings.
5. If your fan is provided with glass shades, clean it with lukewarm soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge. DO NOT IMMERSE GLASS SHADES IN HOT WATER. DO NOT PUT GLASS SHADES INTO AN AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER.
