5.2 Summer/Winter Mode (Reverse Function)
The fan features a motor reversal system to optimize air circulation for both summer and winter seasons. A switch on the fan body allows you to change the direction of blade rotation.
- Summer Mode (Counter-clockwise rotation): Blades rotate counter-clockwise to create a downward airflow, generating a cooling breeze.
- Winter Mode (Clockwise rotation): Blades rotate clockwise to push warm air, which naturally rises, down towards the floor. This helps to distribute heat more evenly and can complement your heating system.

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your fan.
- Cleaning: Before cleaning, ensure the fan is turned off and the power supply is disconnected. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the fan blades and motor housing. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Blade Care: Periodically check the blades for dust accumulation, which can affect balance and airflow.
- Tighten Screws: Over time, screws may loosen. Periodically check and tighten all screws on the mounting bracket, downrod, and blade attachments.
- No Lubrication Needed: The fan motor is permanently lubricated and does not require additional oiling.
