11. OPERATING YOUR FAN

Turn on the power and check the operation of your fan. The
pull chain controls the fan speed as follows:
1. 3-speed pull chain: controls fan speed in the following
sequence: Off - High - Medium - Low - Off.
Ceiling fan performance and energy savings rely heavily
on the proper installation and use of the ceiling fan.
Speed settings for warm or cool weather depend on a variety
of factors such as room size, ceiling height and number of
fans. For best energy efficiency, fan should be mounted in the
middle of the room and at least 7 feet above the floor and 18
inches from the walls. If ceiling height allows, install the fan
8 - 9 feet above the floor for optimal airflow.
2. Light kit pull chain (optional): turns light kit "ON" or "OFF".
The slide switch controls directions: forward (switch down) or
reverse (switch up).
NOTE: Wait for fan to stop before changing the setting of the
slide switch.
Warm weather - (Forward) A downward airflow creates a
cooling effect as shown in Fig. 21. This allows you to set your air
conditioner on a warmer setting without affecting your comfort.
Cool weather - (Reverse) An upward airflow moves warm air off
the ceiling area as shown in Fig. 22. This allows you to set your
heating unit on a cooler setting without affecting your comfort.

12. CARE OF YOUR FAN

Here are some suggestions to help you maintain your fan
1. Because of the fan's natural movement, some connections may become loose. Check the support
connections, brackets, and blade attachments twice a year. Make sure they are secure. (It is not
necessary to remove fan from ceiling.)
2. Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the years. Use only a soft brush or
lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. The plating is sealed with a lacquer to minimize discoloration
or tarnishing. Do not use water when cleaning. This could damage the motor, or the wood, or possibly
cause an electrical shock.
3. You can apply a light coat of furniture polish to the wood blades for additional protection and enhanced
beauty. Cover small scratches with a light application of shoe polish.
4. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated bearings.
IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF AT THE ELECTRICAL PANEL BOX BEFORE YOU
ATTEMPT ANY REPAIRS. REFER TO THE SECTION "MAKING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS".

ENERGY SAVING TIP: Turn off fan
when not in room
Ceiling fans cool people, not rooms. If
the room is unoccupied, turn off the
ceiling fan to save energy.

13. TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem Solution
Fan will not start.
1. Check circuit fuses or breakers.
2. Check line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the switch
housing.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is off.
Fan sounds noisy. 1. Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
2. Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub is tight.
3. Make sure wire nut connections are not rubbing against each other or the interior
wall of the switch housing.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is off.
4. Allow a 24-hour "breaking-in" period. Most noise associated with a new fan
disappear during this time.
5. If using an optional light kit, make sure the screws securing the glassware are tight.
Check that light bulb is also secure.
6. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from solid-state variable speed controls.
If you have installed this type of control, choose and install another type of control.
7. Make sure the upper canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It should not
touch the ceiling.
Fan wobble.
1. Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure.
2. Most fan wobbling problems are caused when blade levels are unequal. Check this
level by selecting a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of the blades. Measure
this distance. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement.
Repeat for each blade. The distance deviation should be equal within 1/8".
3. If the blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side)
blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.
