Troubleshooting; Operating Your Ceiling Fan - Hunter Ceiling fans Installation And Operation Manual

operating your ceiling fan

1. Turn on electrical power to the fan.
2. The fan pull chain controls power to the fan. The pull chain
has four settings in sequence: High, Medium, Low 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.
3. The light pull chain controls power to the light. The pull chain
has two settings: On and Off.
4. Ceiling fans work best by blowing air downward (counterclock-
wise blade rotation) in warm weather to cool the room with a
direct breeze. In winter, having the fan draw air upward (clock-
wise blade rotation) will distribute the warmer air trapped at
the ceiling around the room without causing a draft. Refer to
Figure 31.

cleaning your ceiling fan
caring for finishes
For cleaning, a soft brush or lint-free cloth should be used to pre-
vent scratching the finish. A vacuum cleaner brush nozzle can re-
move heavier dust. Surface smudges or an accumulation of dirt
and dust can easily be removed by using a mild detergent and a
slightly dampened cloth. An artistic agent may be used, but never
use abrasive cleaning agents as they will damage the finish.
caring for blades
Wood finish blades should be cleaned with a furniture polishing
cloth. Occasionally, a light coat of furniture polish may be applied
for added protection and beauty. Painted and high-gloss blades
may be cleaned in the same manner as the fan finish.
