Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your ceiling fan:
- Mounting Bracket Installation: Secure the mounting bracket to a ceiling joist or an outlet box rated for ceiling fan support. Ensure all screws are tightened securely.

For low-profile installation, follow the specific instructions in the included hardware pack for flush mounting. The fan supports flat ceilings or sloped ceilings with a maximum slope of 16 degrees.

- Blade Attachment: Attach the three reversible blades to the motor housing using the provided screws. Ensure the desired blade finish (nutmeg or cocoa) is facing downwards.

Operating Instructions
Your Harbor Breeze Sauble Beach ceiling fan comes with a remote control for convenient operation of both the fan and the light kit.
- Fan On/Off and Speed Control: Use the fan speed buttons (1, 2, 3) on the remote to select your desired fan speed. Press the '0' button to turn the fan off.
- Light On/Off: Press the light bulb button on the remote to turn the light kit on or off.
- Reverse Function: The fan features a reverse switch, typically located on the motor housing, to change the direction of blade rotation. In warm weather, set the fan to rotate counter-clockwise to create a downdraft for a cooling effect. In cool weather, set the fan to rotate clockwise to create an updraft, circulating warm air near the ceiling. Ensure the fan is off before changing the direction.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life 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.
- Tightening Screws: Check all screws on the fan blades and mounting hardware annually to ensure they are tight. Loose screws can cause noise and wobble.
- Bulb Replacement: Replace 13-watt CFL bulbs as needed. Ensure power is off before replacing bulbs.
