Operating Instructions
The Casablanca Wailea ceiling fan is controlled by a pull chain, offering multiple speed settings and a reversible motor function.
Speed Control
The fan features a 4-speed pull chain control. Pull the chain repeatedly to cycle through the available speeds (High, Medium, Low, Extra Low Serenity Speed) and to turn the fan off.
Reversible Motor Function
The fan's motor is reversible, allowing for seasonal use. A switch on the motor housing (often located near the blades) controls the direction of rotation.
- Summer Operation (Downdraft Mode): Set the switch to circulate air downwards, creating a cooling breeze.
- Winter Operation (Updraft Mode): Set the switch to circulate air upwards, helping to redistribute warm air trapped near the ceiling.
Always turn off the fan and wait for the blades to stop completely before changing the direction of the motor.
