5. Operating Instructions
The Hunter Anisten ceiling fan is controlled using two pull chains for fan speed and light operation.
5.1 Fan Speed Control
Locate the pull chain designated for fan speed (often marked with a fan icon or a longer chain). Pull the chain repeatedly to cycle through the three available speeds: High, Medium, Low, and Off.
5.2 Light Control
Locate the pull chain for the LED light (often marked with a light bulb icon or a shorter chain). Pull the chain once to turn the light On/Off. The integrated LED bulbs are dimmable, providing adjustable illumination.

5.3 Reversible Blades for Year-Round Comfort
The fan features reversible blades, allowing you to change the direction of airflow for seasonal comfort. In warmer weather, operate the fan in a counter-clockwise direction to create a downdraft that produces a cooling effect. In cooler weather, operate the fan in a clockwise direction at a low speed to create an updraft that recirculates warm air from the ceiling, reducing heating costs.

- Cleaning: Periodically clean the fan blades and motor housing with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that may damage the finish.
- Tightening Screws: Check all screws on the blade attachments and mounting hardware annually. Tighten any loose screws to prevent wobbling and noise.
- Light Bulb Replacement: The integrated LED bulbs are designed for long life. If replacement is ever needed, consult Hunter customer support for compatible LED modules.
