Operating Instructions
Remote Control Operation
The VAXCEL Yellowstone fan is equipped with a remote control for convenient operation. Ensure the included 9V battery is installed in the remote.
- Fan Speed: Use the remote to select one of the 3 available fan speeds.
- Light Control: Turn the LED light on or off, and adjust brightness if the dimmable feature is supported by your light kit and bulb.
Pull Chain Operation
A pull chain is included for manual adjustment of fan speed, providing an alternative to the remote control.
Reversible Air Flow
The fan features a manual reverse air flow switch, typically located on the motor housing. This allows you to change the blade direction seasonally:
- Summer Mode: Blades rotate counter-clockwise to push cool air down, creating a cooling effect.
- Winter Mode: Blades rotate clockwise to draw warm air up and distribute it evenly, reducing energy usage.
