1. Product Overview
The Hunter Anslee 46-inch Ceiling Fan (Model 59266) is a modern indoor ceiling fan designed to enhance the comfort and style of small rooms, including kitchens and bedrooms. It features a contemporary design with rounded edges on the light and fan body, culminating in clean lines on the fan blades.
This fan is equipped with a fully-dimmable, high-efficient LED light kit, providing total control over your lighting ambiance.

5. Operation
The Hunter Anslee fan is operated using two pull chains located on the light kit housing.
- Fan Speed Control: One pull chain controls the fan's three speeds (High, Medium, Low) and turns the fan off. Pull the chain repeatedly to cycle through the speeds.
- Light Control: The second pull chain controls the LED light kit, allowing you to turn the light on or off. The LED light is dimmable, offering control over the lighting ambiance.
- Reversible Motor: A switch on the motor housing allows you to reverse the direction of the fan blades. In summer, set the fan to downdraft mode (counter-clockwise rotation) to create a cooling breeze. In winter, switch to updraft mode (clockwise rotation) to circulate warm air trapped near the ceiling.
