Operating Your Ceiling Fan
Your Hunter Fan 25816 comes with a remote control for convenient operation of fan speeds and lighting.
Remote Control Functions
- Fan On/Off: Press the fan button to turn the fan on or off.
- Fan Speed Control: Use the speed buttons (typically 1, 2, 3) to select low, medium, or high fan speed. The fan features 3 different speeds.
- Light On/Off/Dimming: Press the light button to turn the light on or off. Hold the light button to dim or brighten the light.
- Reverse Function: A separate button or switch on the remote or fan housing controls the reversible airflow feature. This allows for downdraft cooling in summer and updraft heat circulation in winter.
The WhisperWind motor ensures powerful, yet quiet operation, providing optimal airflow of 5066 CFM.
Care and Cleaning
Regular maintenance will help prolong the life and appearance of your ceiling fan.
- Cleaning: To avoid scratching the finish, clean the fan with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Blade Care: Periodically check the blades for dust buildup. Clean with a soft cloth.
- Tightening Screws: Over time, screws may loosen. Check all screws, especially those on the blade attachments, at least twice a year and tighten them as necessary.
