Operating Instructions
Your Litex ceiling fan is controlled by the included remote control.
Fan Operation
- Fan ON/OFF: Press the 'FAN' button to turn the fan on or off.
- Speed Control: Use the speed buttons (e.g., 1, 2, 3) to adjust the fan speed.
- Direction Control: A slide switch on the fan motor housing controls the blade rotation direction (summer/winter mode). For summer, blades should rotate counter-clockwise to create a downdraft. For winter, blades should rotate clockwise to create an updraft. Change direction only when the fan is off.

- Wipe the fan housing and blades with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish.
- Clean the glass shade with a mild glass cleaner and a soft cloth.
- This fan is wet-rated, but avoid direct high-pressure water spray on electrical components.
