Operating Instructions
The Craftmade K10743 Piccolo fan is operated using a pull chain mechanism, offering three distinct power levels.
- Turning On/Off: Pull the chain once to turn the fan on to its highest speed. Pulling the chain again will cycle through the speeds and eventually turn the fan off.
- Adjusting Speed: The fan has 3 power levels. Each pull of the chain will cycle the fan through these speeds (High, Medium, Low) and then off.
- Directional Control: Locate the directional switch on the fan motor housing (if present). Slide the switch to change the blade rotation direction for summer (downward airflow) or winter (upward airflow) operation.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your ceiling fan.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the fan blades and motor housing with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure power is off before cleaning.
- Blade Balance: If the fan wobbles, check that all blades are securely fastened and balanced. A balancing kit (sold separately) may be used if necessary.
- Tighten Fasteners: Annually, check and tighten all screws and fasteners on the fan assembly and mounting bracket.
- Motor Lubrication: The fan motor is permanently lubricated and does not require additional oiling.
