Operating Instructions
Your Hunter Swanson 50895 fan is controlled using traditional pull chains, offering simple and reliable operation.
Fan Speed Control:
One pull chain controls the fan's three speeds. Pull the chain repeatedly to cycle through high, medium, low, and off settings.
Light Control:
The second pull chain operates the integrated LED light kit. Pull the chain to turn the lights on or off. The LED bulbs are fully dimmable, allowing you to adjust the light intensity if connected to a compatible dimmer switch (not included with pull chain model).
Reversible Motor Function:
The fan features a reversible WhisperWind motor for year-round comfort. A small switch on the motor housing allows you to change the direction of blade rotation:
- Summer Mode: Blades rotate counter-clockwise, pushing air downward to create a cooling breeze.
- Winter Mode: Blades rotate clockwise, pulling air upward to circulate warm air trapped near the ceiling.
