Operating Instructions
Your Harbor Breeze Armitage ceiling fan is operated using two pull chains located on the light kit housing.
- Fan Speed Control: One pull chain controls the fan speed. Pull the chain repeatedly to cycle through high, medium, low, and off settings.
- Light Control: The other pull chain controls the light. Pull the chain to turn the light on or off.
- Reversible Motor: A small switch on the motor housing allows you to reverse the direction of the fan blades. This feature is useful for seasonal comfort: downward airflow for cooling in summer and upward airflow for circulating warm air in winter.
