Operating Instructions

Once installed and power is restored, operate the fan using the pull chains.

• Fan Speed Control: Pull the chain with the fan icon (or shorter chain) to cycle through fan speeds (High, Medium, Low, Off).
• Light Control: Pull the chain with the light bulb icon (or longer chain) to turn the light On or Off.
• Reversible Blades: The blades are reversible, offering walnut on one side and silver oak on the other. To change the blade finish, remove the blades, flip them, and reattach.
• Seasonal Operation: Most ceiling fans have a reverse switch on the motor housing. In warm weather, set the switch to circulate air downwards (counter-clockwise rotation) for a cooling effect. In cool weather, set the switch to circulate air upwards (clockwise rotation) to redistribute warm air from the ceiling.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures long-lasting performance and safety.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the fan blades and motor housing with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Blade Tightness: Check blade screws periodically to ensure they are tight. Loose blades can cause wobbling and noise.
• Light Bulb Replacement: When replacing bulbs, ensure the power is off. Use bulbs of the same type and wattage as specified in the full manual or on the fixture.
• Dust Accumulation: Dust can accumulate on the blades and motor, potentially affecting performance. Clean regularly.

If you encounter issues, refer to these common solutions:

• Fan Does Not Start:
  • Check if the circuit breaker is ON.
  • Ensure all wire connections are secure.
  • Verify the pull chain for the fan is in the ON position.
• Light Does Not Work:
  • Check if the light pull chain is in the ON position.
  • Ensure light bulbs are correctly installed and not burnt out.
  • Verify wire connections to the light kit.
• Fan Wobbles:
  • Ensure all blade screws are tight.
  • Check that the downrod is securely fastened to the mounting bracket and motor housing.
  • Verify the mounting bracket is securely attached to the ceiling.
• Noisy Operation:
