4. Operation
Your Craftmade Nash NSH56ESP5 fan comes with both a handheld remote control and a wall control for convenient operation.
Using the Remote Control
The handheld remote controls fan speed, light on/off, light dimming, and fan direction.
- Fan ON/OFF: Press the fan button to turn the fan on or off.
- Fan Speed: Use the speed buttons (Low, Medium, High) to adjust airflow.
- Light ON/OFF: Press the light button to turn the light on or off.
- Light Dimming: Press and hold the light button to dim or brighten the LED lights. Release when desired brightness is reached.
- Fan Direction (Reverse): Locate the reverse switch on the fan motor housing (usually near the downrod). Slide the switch to change the blade rotation direction. For summer, blades should rotate counter-clockwise to create a downdraft. For winter, blades should rotate clockwise to create an updraft, circulating warm air. Ensure the fan is off before changing direction.
Using the Wall Control
The included wall control provides similar functionality to the handheld remote. Refer to the wall control's specific instructions for pairing and operation.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your ceiling fan.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the fan with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish. For outdoor use, ensure the fan is dry after cleaning.
- Blade Care: Check blade screws periodically to ensure they are tight. Loose blades can cause wobbling and noise.
- Light Bulbs: Replace LED bulbs only with E12 base, 4W LED bulbs. Ensure power is off before replacing bulbs.
- Annual Inspection: Annually inspect all connections and mounting hardware for tightness.
