5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Remote Control Operation
Your Avia II ceiling fan comes with a handheld remote control for convenient operation. Ensure the battery is correctly installed in the remote.
- Fan Speed Control: Use the fan speed buttons (typically up/down arrows or numbered buttons) to cycle through the 3 available fan speeds (low, medium, high).

5.2 Reversible Motor Function
The Avia II features a WhisperWind reversible motor, allowing you to change the direction of the fan blades for year-round comfort.
- Summer Operation: In warmer weather, set the fan to rotate counter-clockwise (downward airflow). This creates a cooling breeze effect.
- Winter Operation: In cooler weather, set the fan to rotate clockwise (upward airflow). This helps to circulate warm air trapped near the ceiling, distributing it throughout the room.
To reverse the motor direction, locate the reverse switch on the fan motor housing (usually a small slide switch). Ensure the fan is off before changing the direction.

- Blade Cleaning: Dust the fan blades regularly to prevent dust buildup, which can affect balance and performance.
- Tightening Screws: Periodically check all screws on the fan and mounting hardware to ensure they are tight. Loose connections can cause noise or wobbling.
