4. Operating Instructions
Your Hunter Burton ceiling fan is designed for ease of use with the included wall control.
4.1 Using the Wall Control
The wall control allows you to adjust fan speed and direction.
- Speed Control: Use the slider on the wall control to select one of the four available fan speeds (HI, MD, L2, L1).

4.2 Reversible Motor Function (Winter and Summer Operation)
The reversible WhisperWind motor allows you to optimize airflow for different seasons:
- Summer Mode (Downdraft): Set the fan to rotate counter-clockwise. This creates a downdraft that produces a cooling breeze, making the room feel cooler.
- Winter Mode (Updraft): Set the fan to rotate clockwise. This creates an updraft that circulates warm air trapped near the ceiling down into the room, helping to distribute heat more evenly.
