4.2 Wiring and Assembly

4.4 Light Kit Installation

5. Operating Instructions
The Craftmade Pro Plus ceiling fan offers convenient control over fan speed and lighting.
5.1 Fan Speed Control
The fan features a standard 3-speed reversible motor. You can adjust the fan speed using the pull chain control or an optional remote control (if installed). Pull the chain repeatedly to cycle through high, medium, low, and off settings.
5.2 Light Operation
The clear bowl light kit is operated by a separate pull chain or the optional remote control. Pull the chain to turn the light on or off.
5.3 Reversible Motor Function
A slide switch on the fan's motor housing controls the blade direction. In warm weather, set the switch to circulate air downwards, creating a cooling effect. In cool weather, set the switch to circulate air upwards, helping to distribute warm air evenly without creating a direct draft. Always turn off the fan and wait for the blades to stop completely before changing the direction of rotation.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your ceiling fan.
- Cleaning: To clean the fan, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the finish or electrical components.
- Glass Bowl Cleaning: The clear glass bowl may show dirt easily. For best results, carefully remove the glass bowl and wash it with mild soap and water. Dry thoroughly before reattaching. Avoid harsh chemicals that could streak or etch the glass.
- Blade Cleaning: Dust the fan blades regularly with a soft cloth or duster.
- Tighten Fasteners: Periodically check and tighten all screws and fasteners on the fan housing and blade attachments to prevent wobbling and noise.
