Operating Instructions
Your Craftmade Laval ceiling fan is equipped with user-friendly controls for optimal comfort.
Fan Speed Control
The fan features a 3-speed motor controlled by a standard pull chain. Pull the chain repeatedly to cycle through high, medium, low, and off settings. The fan provides an airflow capacity of 4279 Cubic Feet Per Minute.
Light Operation
The integrated 18 Watt LED light kit is dimmable. Use the separate pull chain for the light to turn it on/off and adjust brightness. Refer to your installation guide for specific dimming instructions if applicable.
Reversible Motor Function
A slide switch on the fan motor housing allows you to reverse the blade direction. This feature is useful for seasonal comfort: a downward airflow creates a cooling effect in summer, while an upward airflow recirculates warm air in winter.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your ceiling fan.
Cleaning
- Always turn off power at the circuit breaker before cleaning.
- Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe down the fan blades and motor housing.
- For the frosted glass shade, use a mild glass cleaner applied to a cloth, not directly to the fixture.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish.
Blade Care
The reversible blades (Brushed Nickel/Maple) can be cleaned with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Ensure blades are balanced to prevent wobbling.
LED Light Kit
The integrated LED light kit is designed for long-lasting performance and typically does not require bulb replacement. If issues arise, consult the troubleshooting section or contact customer support.
