CAUTION

: “DO NOT DISPOSE OF BATTERY IN FIRE, BATTERY MAY EXPLODE OR LEAK.” 

- When disposing of household alkaline batteries, it is best to check with your local and 
state recycling or household hazardous waste coordinators concerning the specifics of the 
program in your area. You may also locate a recycling center by calling 1-800-8-BATTERY or 1-877-2-RECYCLE  or visit 
www.epa.gov/epawaste/index.htm or www.earth911.org for more information. Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be 
recharged; Do not mix different types of batteries such as alkaline, carbon-zinc, or rechargeable batteries. Do not mix old 
and new batteries. Batteries are to be inserted with the correct polarity. Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the 
product.

11. Remote Control Operation. (cont.)

Restore electrical power.  Within 30 seconds of restoring the power, press and hold the 
"O" button on the remote control transmitter for 5 seconds or until light on fan blinks 
twice. Test the light and fan functions to confirm the learning process is complete.

NOTE

: Remove protective covering from front of remote control transmitter and 

discard.

IMPORTANT

: To prevent damage to transmitter, remove the battery if not used for long 

periods.  Store the remote control transmitter away from excess heat or humidity.

12. Testing Your Fan.

It is recommended that you test fan before finalizing 
installation. Test fan speeds with the different fan 
speed buttons on remote control. Test the light 
ON/OFF function with the      button on the remote 
control. Test dimmer function by holding down the  
     button for up to 5 seconds. If the remote control 
operates all of the functions of the fan and light, 
battery has been installed correctly. If fan and/or 
light do (does) not function, please refer to 
"Troubleshooting" section to solve any issues before 
contacting Customer Service.

Turn fan completely off 

before

 moving the reverse 

switch (located on the switch housing) (

diagram 1

). 

Set reverse switch to recirculate air depending on 
the season:
 

- DOWN position in summer (

diagram 2

)

 

- UP position in winter (

diagram 3

)

A ceiling fan will allow you to raise your thermostat 
setting in summer and lower your thermostat 
setting in winter without feeling a difference in your 
comfort.

Important

: Reverse switch must be set either 

completely UP or completely DOWN for fan to 
function. If the reverse switch is set in the middle 
position (

diagram 4

), fan will not operate.
