Reversing the Fan
Reverse
Switch
Ceiling fans work in two directions: downdraft (counterclockwise rotation) and updraft (clockwise rotation). To change the
direction of air ow, turn the fan off and let it come to a complete stop. The reversing switch is located inside the light
xture. It can only be accessed when the glass is removed. Slide the reversing switch to the opposite position. Restart
the fan.
Updraft (clockwise rotation)
creates a more indirect airow.
Updraft airow is great for
moving warm air downward.
Downdraft (counterclockwise
rotation) creates a direct breeze
and maximum cooling effect.
The fan pull chain controls
the speed: from high to off.
The light pull chain controls
the light xture: on and off.
Installing the Pull Chains
Repeat x2
Remove and discard the plastic
connectors from the ends of the short
pull chain. Feed the pull chains from
the fan switch and the light switch
down through the holes in the upper
switch housing as shown. Attach the
pull chain pendants to the light and fan
pull chains.
