Safety Information
Please read and understand all instructions before beginning installation. Failure to follow these instructions could result in electric shock, fire, or personal injury. Keep this manual for future reference.

Operating Instructions
Remote Control Operation
Your Parrot Uncle ceiling fan comes with a convenient remote control for easy operation of both the fan and light functions.
- Fan ON/OFF: Press the fan power button to turn the fan on or off.
- Fan Speed Control: Use the 1, 2, and 3 buttons to adjust the fan speed (low, medium, high).
- Light ON/OFF: Press the light bulb button to turn the light on or off.
- Timer Function: Set the fan to automatically shut off after 2, 4, or 8 hours using the corresponding timer buttons. This feature helps maintain an ideal comfortable sleep environment.

Reversible Motor Function
The fan features a reversible motor, allowing you to change the direction of airflow for year-round comfort.
- Summer Mode (Downdraft): Set the fan to rotate counter-clockwise to create a downdraft, providing a cooling effect. This pushes cool air down.
- Winter Mode (Updraft): Set the fan to rotate clockwise to create an updraft, circulating warm air trapped near the ceiling. This helps distribute heat evenly throughout the room.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help prolong the life and appearance of your ceiling fan.
- Cleaning: To avoid scratching the finish, clean the fan with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Blade Cleaning: Dust the blades regularly to prevent dust buildup, which can affect fan balance and performance.
- Crystal Cleaning: Gently wipe the crystal embellishments with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn spots, a slightly damp cloth with mild glass cleaner can be used, ensuring no liquid drips into electrical components.
- Tighten Fasteners: Periodically check all screws and fasteners on the fan and mounting hardware to ensure they are secure.
