6. Operation
Your MAINSTAYS ceiling fan is designed for easy operation using traditional pull chains.
6.1. Fan Speed Control
One pull chain controls the fan's 3 speeds:
- Pull once for High speed.
- Pull twice for Medium speed.

- Pull four times to turn the fan off.
6.2. Light Control
The second pull chain operates the integrated LED light kit:

6.3. Reversible Airflow
A reversible airflow switch is located on the fan's motor housing. This allows you to change the direction of the fan blades for seasonal use:
- Summer Mode (Downward Airflow): Set the switch to circulate air downwards, creating a cooling breeze.
- Winter Mode (Upward Airflow): Set the switch to circulate air upwards, helping to distribute warm air evenly throughout the room.
Note: The fan is compatible with universal ceiling fan remotes (sold separately) for added convenience.
7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help prolong the life and performance of your ceiling fan.
- Cleaning: To clean the fan, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the finish or components.

- Light Globe: The frosted glass globe can be removed for cleaning. Wash with mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly before reattaching.
