5.2 Summer/Winter Operation (Reverse Function)
The fan features a reverse function for year-round comfort. A switch on the fan motor housing (typically located above the blades) controls the direction of rotation.
- Summer Mode: Blades rotate counter-clockwise, pushing air down to create a cooling breeze.
- Winter Mode: Blades rotate clockwise, drawing air up to circulate warm air trapped near the ceiling.
Always turn off the fan and wait for the blades to stop completely before changing the direction of rotation.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your ceiling fan.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the fan blades and motor housing. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure power is off before cleaning.
- Blade Screws: Periodically check that all blade screws are tight. Loose screws can cause wobbling and noise.
- Light Bulbs: Replace LED bulbs only with the specified type (Medium Base 8 Watt T7 LED bulbs) or equivalent.
