- Assemble Downrod and Motor: Attach the downrod to the fan motor assembly. Carefully feed the electrical wires through the downrod.
- Wire the Fan: Connect the fan's electrical wires to the household wiring according to local electrical codes. Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated. Tuck wires neatly into the ceiling box, away from moving parts.

- Install Light Kit: Connect the light kit wiring to the fan motor's light kit wiring. Secure the light kit to the bottom of the fan motor assembly. Install the two provided LED light bulbs and attach the white alabaster glass bowl.
Operating Instructions
The Westinghouse Carolina fan is operated using traditional pull chains.
- Fan Speed Control: One pull chain controls the fan speed. Pull the chain repeatedly to cycle through the three available speeds (High, Medium, Low) and Off.
- Light Control: The second pull chain controls the integrated LED light kit. Pull the chain to turn the light On or Off.
- Reverse Airflow Switch: A slide switch on the fan's motor housing allows you to change the direction of the fan blades. This feature is used for year-round comfort:
- Summer Operation: Blades rotate counter-clockwise, pushing air down to create a cooling breeze.
- Winter Operation: Blades rotate clockwise, drawing air up to circulate warm air trapped near the ceiling.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your ceiling fan.
- Cleaning: Clean the fan blades and motor housing periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Bulb Replacement: The fan uses two 8-watt T7 LED light bulbs. Ensure power is off before replacing bulbs.
- Tighten Fasteners: Periodically check all screws and fasteners on the fan and mounting hardware to ensure they are secure.
