4. Operating Instructions

Your Hunter Newsome ceiling fan is equipped with a pull chain for easy control of fan speed and a reversible motor for year-round comfort.

4.1 Pull Chain Control

The fan speed is controlled by pulling the chain located on the fan's motor housing. Each pull cycles through the available speeds:

• Pull 1: High Speed
• Pull 2: Medium Speed
• Pull 3: Low Speed
• Pull 4: Off

4.2 Reversible Motor Function

The fan features a Whisper Wind motor with a reversible function, allowing you to change the direction of airflow for optimal comfort in different seasons. A switch on the fan's motor housing controls the direction.

• Summer Mode (Downdraft): Blades rotate counter-clockwise, pushing cool air down. This creates a wind-chill effect, making you feel cooler.
• Winter Mode (Updraft): Blades rotate clockwise, drawing cool air up and circulating warm air trapped near the ceiling. This helps to distribute heat more evenly.

5.1 Cleaning

• Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the fan blades and motor housing.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish.
• For outdoor use, ensure the fan is dry before restoring power.

5.2 General Care

6. Troubleshooting
