Operating Instructions
Your Hunter ceiling fan is controlled by pull chains.
Fan Speed Control
- Locate the pull chain for fan speed (typically marked or shorter).
- Pull the chain once for High speed.
- Pull the chain a second time for Medium speed.
- Pull the chain a third time for Low speed.
- Pull the chain a fourth time to turn the fan off.
Light Control
- Locate the pull chain for the light kit (typically longer or with a light icon).
- Pull the chain once to turn the light on.
- Pull the chain again to turn the light off.
Reversible Motor Function
Your fan features a reversible motor for year-round comfort. A switch on the fan motor housing controls the direction of blade rotation.
- Summer Mode (Counter-clockwise): Push the switch to the "down" position. This creates a downward airflow, producing a cooling effect.
- Winter Mode (Clockwise): Push the switch to the "up" position. This creates an upward airflow, circulating warm air trapped near the ceiling.
- Note: Always turn off the fan and wait for the blades to stop completely before changing the direction of rotation.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your fan.
- Cleaning: Clean the fan periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the finish.
- Blade Cleaning: Wipe fan blades with a soft cloth to remove dust.
- Tighten Screws: Periodically check all screws on the fan housing and blades to ensure they are tight. Loose screws can cause noise or wobble.
- Light Bulbs: Replace light bulbs as needed. Ensure the power is off before replacing bulbs.
- Note: No lubrication is required for the motor.
