Operating And Cleaning Your Ceiling; Fan - Hunter Ceiling fan Owner's Manual And Installation Manual

9 • Operating and Cleaning Your Ceiling Fan
9-1. Turn on electrical power to the fan.
9-2. The first time the fan is turned on, let it run continuously and
undisturbed for 10-15 minutes. The fan may wobble at first, but then
the Perfect Balance mechanism will take control and balance out the
TM

fan.

Note: The first time the fan is turned on, the components might make
a slight noise as they come in contact with each other. This sound is
normal and will stop within moments.
9-3. The fan pull chain controls power to the fan. The pull chain has five
settings in sequence: High, Medium, Low, Serenity Speed, and Off. Pull
the chain slowly to change settings. Release slowly to prevent the chain
from recoiling into the blades. The chain uses a breakaway connector
that separates if the chain is jerked. If this happens, simply reinsert the
chain into the connector.
9-4. Ceiling fans work best by blowing air downward (counterclockwise
blade rotation) in warm weather to cool the room with a direct breeze.
In winter, having the fan draw air upward (clockwise blade rotation)
will distribute the warmer air trapped at the ceiling around the room
without causing a draft.
9-5. For cleaning finishes, use a soft brush or lint-free cloth to prevent
scratching. A vacuum cleaner brush nozzle can remove heavier dust.
Remove surface smudges or accumulated dirt and dust using a mild
detergent and a slightly dampened cloth. You may use an artistic
agent, but never abrasive cleaning agents as they will damage the
finish.
9-6. Clean wood finish blades with a furniture polishing cloth. Occasionally,
apply a light coat of furniture polish for added protection and beauty.
Clean painted and high-gloss blades in the same manner as the fan
finish.
To Change Airflow Direction
Turn the fan off and let it come to a complete
stop. Slide the reversing switch on the fan to the
opposite position. Restart fan.
