Installation Steps:
- Turn Off Power: Before starting, ensure the power is turned off at the circuit breaker or fuse box to prevent electrical shock.

Operation
Your Fanimation Level Ceiling Fan is controlled by the included wall control unit. Familiarize yourself with its functions for optimal use.
Fan Speed Control:
- The wall control allows you to select from three fan speeds: Low, Medium, and High.
- Press the fan speed buttons to cycle through the desired airflow level.
Light Control:
- The integrated LED light kit is dimmable.
- Use the light control button on the wall unit to turn the light on/off and to adjust its brightness. Typically, holding the button will dim or brighten the light.
Reverse Function:
The fan features a reverse switch, usually located on the motor housing, which allows you to change the direction of blade rotation. This is useful for seasonal comfort:
- Summer Operation: Blades rotate counter-clockwise, pushing air down to create a cooling breeze.
- Winter Operation: Blades rotate clockwise, drawing air up to circulate warm air trapped near the ceiling.
- Always turn off the fan and wait for the blades to stop completely before changing the direction of rotation.
Care and Maintenance
Regular care and maintenance will help prolong the life and maintain the appearance of your ceiling fan.
Cleaning:
- Always turn off the power to the fan at the circuit breaker before cleaning.
- Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the fan blades and motor housing. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the finish.
- Dust the fan blades regularly to prevent dust buildup, which can cause wobbling.
Light Bulb Replacement:
- The fan comes with an integrated LED light kit. LEDs have a long lifespan and typically do not require frequent replacement.
- If the LED light module requires service, contact a qualified electrician or Fanimation customer support. Do not attempt to replace individual LED components.
General Maintenance:
- Periodically check all screws on the fan and mounting hardware to ensure they are tight.
- No lubrication is necessary for the fan motor.
