If your fan is wired through a Modern Forms wall control (P/N: F-WCBT- WT) pull the Air-Gap Switch on your wall control, wait 10 seconds, and re-insert.

What is Breeze Mode

Breeze Mode mimics the natural ebb and flow of winds in nature by fluctuating your fan's speed.

What is Pairing

Pairing is the process of connecting your Modern Forms remote or wall control to your fan. Your fan comes pre-paired to your included remote control. However, if you want additional controls for your fan or if you're replacing a control, refer to the pairing and unpairing section of the instructions.

What is a Factory Reset

Factory Reset is a restore of the fans original settings.
