Operating Instructions

The Hunter Seawall 52416 fan is operated using the included wall control. It features a 3-speed reversible WhisperWind motor and an integrated LED light.

Fan Speed Control

Use the fan speed buttons on the wall control to select your desired airflow. The fan offers three speeds: Low, Medium, and High.

Reversible Motor Function

The WhisperWind motor allows for seasonal use. A switch on the motor housing (or on the wall control, depending on the model) controls the direction of blade rotation.

  • Summer Mode (Counter-clockwise): Set blades to spin counter-clockwise to create a downdraft, providing a cooling effect.
  • Winter Mode (Clockwise): Set blades to spin clockwise on low speed to create an updraft, circulating warm air trapped near the ceiling.
