Operating Instructions
Your Craftmade Targas ceiling fan is designed for ease of use with the included UCI-2000 Wall/Remote Control. This control allows you to manage fan speed, direction, and light functions.
Fan Speed Control
The fan features a standard 3-speed reversible motor. Use the remote control to cycle through the fan speeds: Low, Medium, and High. Pressing the fan speed button repeatedly will adjust the airflow to your preference.
Fan Direction (Reversible Motor)
The reversible motor allows you to change the fan's direction for seasonal comfort. In warmer weather, set the fan to rotate counter-clockwise to create a downdraft, producing a cooling breeze. In cooler weather, set the fan to rotate clockwise to create an updraft, which helps circulate warm air trapped near the ceiling. The direction switch is typically located on the fan motor housing.
Light Operation (Dimmable LED)
The integrated light kit includes a 22W dimmable LED bulb. Use the light button on your remote control to turn the light on or off. To dim the light, press and hold the light button until the desired brightness is achieved. Release the button to set the brightness level.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your ceiling fan.
- Cleaning: To clean the fan, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the finish or electrical components.
- Blade Cleaning: Dust the fan blades regularly to prevent dust buildup, which can affect balance and airflow.
- Tightening Screws: Periodically check all screws on the fan housing and blades to ensure they are tight. Loose screws can cause wobbling or noise.
- Light Bulb Replacement: The integrated LED bulb is designed for long life. If replacement is ever needed, ensure the power is off and refer to the installation manual for specific bulb type and replacement instructions.
