Operating Instructions
Power On
Restore power at the circuit breaker after installation is complete.
Remote and Wall Control
Your fan can be operated using either the handheld remote control or the included wall control. Both controls offer the following functions:
- Fan Speed Control: Select from 3 fan speeds (low, medium, high).
- Reverse Fan Direction: Change the direction of blade rotation for seasonal comfort (downward airflow for cooling, upward for heat circulation).
- Light Dimming: Adjust the brightness of the integrated LED light.
Refer to the specific instructions in your Installation Guide for pairing the remote control with the fan, especially if installing multiple fans in close proximity.
Maintenance
Cleaning
To maintain the appearance and performance of your fan, clean it periodically. Always turn off power at the circuit breaker before cleaning. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the fan housing and blades. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
Blade Balance
If the fan wobbles during operation, ensure all blade screws are tight. A blade balancing kit (not included) can be used to correct minor imbalances.
