6. Operating Instructions

Your Westinghouse Contractor's Choice ceiling fan is operated using a pull chain for speed control and a reverse switch for seasonal functionality.

6.1 Speed Control

The fan features multiple speed settings. Pull the chain once to turn the fan on at its highest speed. Subsequent pulls will cycle through lower speeds and then turn the fan off. Adjust the speed to your comfort level.

6.2 Reverse Function (Seasonal Use)

A slide switch on the fan's motor housing controls the direction of blade rotation. This allows for optimal air circulation throughout the year:

• Summer Operation: Set the switch to make the blades rotate counter-clockwise, creating a downward breeze that cools the room.
• Winter Operation: Set the switch to make the blades rotate clockwise, drawing warm air up towards the ceiling and distributing it evenly without creating a direct draft.

Note: Always turn off the fan and wait for the blades to stop completely before changing the direction of rotation.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your ceiling fan.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the fan blades and motor housing with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
• Checking Connections: Annually, inspect all screws and connections to ensure they are secure. Loose connections can cause noise or wobble.
• Lubrication: The fan motor is permanently lubricated and does not require additional oiling.
