Operating Instructions
Your Hunter Fan Builder Deluxe fan is designed for ease of use with convenient pull chain controls.
Fan Speed Control
The fan features a 3-speed WhisperWind motor. Locate the pull chain for fan speed control (typically the longer chain). Pull the chain repeatedly to cycle through the speed settings:
- First pull: High speed
- Second pull: Medium speed
- Third pull: Low speed
- Fourth pull: Off
Light Control
The integrated light kit is controlled by a separate pull chain (typically the shorter chain). Pull the chain to turn the light on or off.

Reversible Motor Function
Your fan has a reversible motor for year-round comfort. A small switch on the fan motor housing allows you to change the direction of blade rotation:
- Summer Mode (Counter-clockwise): Airflow creates a cooling breeze.
- Winter Mode (Clockwise): Airflow pushes warm air down, recirculating heat.
To change direction, ensure the fan is off and the blades have stopped completely before flipping the switch.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Hunter Fan.
- Cleaning: Dust the fan blades and motor housing periodically with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish.
- Light Bulb Replacement: Ensure power is off before replacing bulbs. Use only bulbs of the specified wattage (9W LED or equivalent).
- Tighten Screws: Periodically check all screws on the fan blades and mounting hardware to ensure they are secure. Loose screws can cause wobbling or noise.
