1. Use the reverse switch, located on the light kit to
optimize your fan for seasonal performance.
Using a ceiling fan will allow you to raise your thermostat
setting in summer and lower your thermostat setting in
winter without feeling a dierence in your comfort.
In warmer weather, push the reverse switch left, which
will result in downward airow creating a wind chill eect.
In cooler weather, push the reverse switch right, which
will result in upward airow that can help move stagnant,
hot air o the ceiling area.
Important: Wait for the fan to stop before moving the
reverse switch. The reverse switch must be set either
completely up or down in order for the fan to function
correctly. If the reverse switch is set in the middle
position, the fan will not operate.
2. The fan pull chain has four positions to control fan
speed. One pull is HIGH, two is MEDIUM, three is LOW and
four turns the fan OFF.
The light pull chain has two positions to control the light,
ON and OFF.
Note: When facing the reverse switch the light pull chain
