4. Setup and Installation

Professional installation is recommended. Ensure all power is off at the circuit breaker before beginning. Refer to the detailed wiring diagrams included in the physical manual for specific connections.

2. Assemble the downrod (if used) to the motor housing.
3. Hang the fan motor assembly onto the mounting bracket.

5. Operating Instructions

Your Harbor Breeze COASTAL CREEK ceiling fan is designed for ease of use with traditional pull chain controls.

5.1 Fan Speed Control

The fan features a 3-speed reversible AC motor. One pull chain controls the fan speed:

• Pull 1: High Speed
• Pull 2: Medium Speed
• Pull 3: Low Speed
• Pull 4: Off

5.2 Light Operation

The light kit is controlled by a separate pull chain:

• Pull 1: Lights On

5.3 Reversible Function

A slide switch on the motor housing allows you to reverse the direction of the fan blades. This feature is useful for seasonal comfort:

• Summer Mode (Counter-clockwise): Pushes air down, creating a cooling breeze.
• Winter Mode (Clockwise): Draws air up, circulating warm air trapped near the ceiling.

To change direction, ensure the fan is off and the blades have stopped completely before moving the slide switch.
