3. Operating Your Ceiling Fan
3.1 Pull Chain Control
The Hunter Hartland 50649 fan is operated using two pull chains:
- Fan Speed Control: One pull chain controls the fan speed. Pulling the chain cycles through High, Medium, Low, and Off settings.
- Light Control: The other pull chain controls the integrated LED light kit. Pulling the chain turns the lights On or Off.
3.2 Reversing Fan Direction (Seasonal Use)
To change the direction of the fan blades for seasonal comfort, locate the reverse switch on the motor housing. Ensure the fan is turned off before changing the switch position.
- Summer Mode (Downward Airflow): Set the switch to allow blades to rotate counter-clockwise, creating a downward breeze for cooling.
- Winter Mode (Upward Airflow): Set the switch to allow blades to rotate clockwise, creating an upward draft that circulates warm air near the ceiling.
This image illustrates the typical location of the fan's reverse switch, usually found on the motor housing. This switch allows users to change the direction of the fan blades for seasonal air circulation.
