General Installation Steps:

Operation
Your Calibre III BN ceiling fan is operated using two pull chains located on the light kit housing.
Fan Speed Control:
- One pull chain controls the fan speed. Pulling the chain cycles through High, Medium, Low, and Off settings.
- The fan offers three distinct speed settings for optimal airflow and comfort.
Light Control:
- The second pull chain controls the integrated LED light. Pulling the chain will turn the light On or Off.
Reversible Blades:
The fan blades are reversible, featuring a white finish on one side and a silver finish on the other. To change the blade finish, remove the blades from the motor housing, flip them to the desired side, and reattach securely.
Seasonal Operation:
Ceiling fans can help reduce energy costs year-round. In warm weather, operate the fan in a counter-clockwise direction to create a cooling breeze. In cool weather, operate the fan in a clockwise direction at a low speed to circulate warm air near the ceiling without creating a draft.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your ceiling fan.
Cleaning:
- Always turn off the power to the fan at the circuit breaker before cleaning.
- Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the motor housing and blades. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
- Dust the blades regularly to prevent buildup, which can affect fan balance and performance.
Light Bulb Replacement:
- Ensure the power is off before attempting to replace bulbs.
- Carefully remove the flat opal glass shade.
- Replace the existing bulbs with 2x60W Type A LED bulbs. Ensure the replacement bulbs are compatible with the fan's specifications.
- Reattach the glass shade securely.
Blade Tightness:
Periodically check that all blade screws are tight. Over time, screws can loosen due to fan vibration, which may cause wobbling or noise.
