5. Operating Instructions
Your Bayside Calypso 213017 Ceiling Fan is operated via the included wall control unit.
5.1. Fan Speed Control
- The wall control features an "OFF" switch to turn the fan off.
- Select from three speed settings: "1" for low speed, "2" for medium speed, and "3" for high speed. Adjust the dial to your desired setting.
5.2. Winter and Summer Modes
The fan includes a reversible motor for year-round use. A switch on the fan motor housing (usually located near the downrod) allows you to change the direction of blade rotation.
- Summer Mode (Counter-clockwise rotation): Blades rotate counter-clockwise, pushing air downwards to create a cooling breeze.
- Winter Mode (Clockwise rotation): Blades rotate clockwise, drawing air upwards to circulate warm air trapped near the ceiling, helping to distribute heat more evenly.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your ceiling fan.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the fan blades and motor housing with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish. Ensure power is off before cleaning.
- Tighten Screws: Check all screws on the fan blades and mounting hardware annually. Tighten any loose screws to prevent wobbling or noise.
- No Lubrication Required: The fan motor is permanently lubricated and does not require additional oiling.
