Energy Efficient Use Of Ceiling Fans - Emerson CARRERA GRANDE ECO CF788AP01 Owner's Manual

16. Energy Efficient Use of Ceiling Fans

Ceiling fan performance and energy savings rely
heavily on the proper installation and use of the
Ceiling Fan. Here are a few tips to ensure quality and
product performance.
C h o o s i n g t h e A p p r o p r i a t e
Location.
Ceiling Fans should be installed,
or 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.
Consult your Emerson Retailer for optional mounting
accessories.
Using the Ceiling Fan Year Round. In the summer,
use the Ceiling Fan in the counter-clockwise direction.
The airflow produced by the Ceiling Fan creates
a wind-chill effect, making you "feel" cooler.
Select a Fan speed that provides a comfortable
M o u n t i n g
breeze, lower speeds consume less energy.
In the winter, reverse the motor and operate the
Ceiling Fan at low speed in the clockwise direction.
This produces a gentle updraft, which forces warm
air near the ceiling down into the occupied space.
Remember to adjust your thermostat when using your
Ceiling Fan - additional energy and dollar savings could
be realized with this simple step!
Turn Off When Not in the Room. Ceiling Fans cool
people, not rooms. If the room is unoccupied, turn OFF
the Ceiling Fan to save energy.
